RabbitMQ Monitoring send email and/or alert

[GarretB123]

Is there a way within RabbitMQ monitoring to send an alert and/or email when a certain monitoring parameter reaches a certain level?

We are using RabbitMQ to monitor processes on several servers and we have to manually check the Rabbit a couple times a day to check for problems.

It would be nice if there was a way to send an alert if the parameters we set reach a certain threshold.

Hi,

That's what monitoring systems are for. :)

Combine rabbitmq_prometheus (which exposes metrics) with a Prometheus-compatible monitoring tool (pretty much anything contemporary) and an alerting system (eg. Prometheus+Grafana or Prometheus+Alertmanager).

Best,

Yeah.. .We are currently on 3.7.14.  My supervisors are reluctant to upgrade because it was such a chore with installation.  Do you know if upgrading is painless?  Is it an in place upgrade?

If it hurts, do it more often (https://martinfowler.com/bliki/FrequencyReducesDifficulty.html)

Upgrading a production environment is never risk-free (unless you can afford downtime of course) but neither is not upgrading. 3.7.14 is 2 years old, 3.7 has been out of support since September. It's high time to upgrade.

Yes, it's an in-place upgrade. Starting with 3.7, RabbitMQ has feature flags to allow mix-version clusters (so you can have 3.8 nodes join your 3.7 cluster until all nodes are 3.8).

PS Let us know why it was such a pain to install for you because it doesn't have to be. I installed 5 RabbitMQ clusters today... :)
