Hello,

we're using .net and we're trying to figure out how to rename an exchange and queue so that messages are not lost in the existing queue.

There doesn't seem to be an API for renaming the objects. Is there a way to do this?

ok..so it seems like the only alternative is to delete the existing one and create a new one to replace it.

is there a way to retrieve all the queues bound to a specific exchange though...so I can rebind them to the new exchange?

There are rabbitmqctl https://www.rabbitmq.com/man/rabbitmqctl.1.man.html and management http api and CLI https://www.rabbitmq.com/management.html

Couldn't you use the shovel plugin to move the messages to the new queue?

There is even a (not very visible) button in the management UI that moves messages
by creating a one-off dynamic Shovel.
