Manual Deletion of Users and Queue

[Satheesh Kumar]

Hello,

i have a scenario to delete nearly 200000 users in RabbitMQ. if  i want to use the rabbitmq api which is (/api/users/bulk-delete). How many i can delete per day.

Is there any chance it will affect the rabbitmq server

Hi,

This is a kind of question that is best answered by trying in a test env. I doubt anyone else had to do exactly the same thing and

there are factors such as RabbitMQ version and hardware used that may heavily impact the result.

We even have a file with 100000 users that you can use for testing: https://github.com/rabbitmq/sample-configs/tree/main/users

So I'd recommend just importing that file and then testing the request. As an additional benefit, you will practice before doing that in production.

Something like:

```

wget https://github.com/rabbitmq/sample-configs/blob/main/users/users-100k.json

rabbitmqctl import_definitions users-100k.json

jq '{users: [.users[].name]}' < users-100k.json > usernames.json

curl -vvv -u guest:guest -H "content-type:application/json" -XPOST -d @usernames.json http://localhost:15672/api/users/bulk-delete/

```

There will be some impact for sure - after all, it's work that RabbitMQ needs to perform, but it's probably not much of a deal.

Splitting this into a few calls is probably a good idea to be on the safe side.

Best,
