About Rabbitmq-email plugin

[arvind...@gmail.com]

Dear RabbitMQTeam,

I'am using rabbitmq shovel plugin to connect with remote queues. I want to know, Can this plugin able to send email to any (user), if in case there is any error while consuming messages from rabbit mq? There is nothing much documentation about this plugin. Do we have any documentation for that, I mean installation steps and other configurations? 

Thanks & Regards

Arvind

Hi,

Rabbitmq-email plugin https://github.com/gotthardp/rabbitmq-email and rabbitmq-shovel plugin https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-shovel are completely independent and unrelated plugins and do not communicate.

The goal of the email plugin is to consume messages and send emails or publish emails as messages and not monitoring the errors.

The definition of "any error while consuming messages" is not that clear. And depending on the side where the error happen it can be not detectable by the RabbitMQ itself.

You can take a look at dead-lettering https://www.rabbitmq.com/dlx.html and event exchange https://www.rabbitmq.com/event-exchange.html to see if you can use that to redirect messages to the queue from which rabbitmq-email will send emails.

Hi Daniil,

Thanks for you response. 

Yeah, shovel and email plugin are independent to each other. Actually I wrote about shovel plugin because currently what I'm doing is: connecting remote queues(AMQP 1.0) with rabbit mq over AMQP 0.9.1 to get messages and those messages are in compressed form.

So what I want is whenever there is message transformation from remote queues to rabbit mq, I can get those messages. If messages are easily consumed and parsed that is fine for me. If in case there will some kind of parsing errors or exception related to message, I want to send email. So can rabbitmq-email can helpful in that case?

It can be a way to deliver emails. I honestly don't know if it would be most convenient in your specific case.
