Nagios plugin for rabbitMQ

• Check the number of connections (--action connections)

• Check the number of consumers in specific queues (--action consumers)

This plugin connects to the RabbitMQ management API.

This plugin is assuming that https is enabled for the rabbitMQ web access.

Examples

It will check if myqueue has at least one consumer:

check_rabbitmq -H rabbitmq.mydomain --action consumers -u admin -p mypassword -Q myqueue -w 1:100 -c 1:1000

It will check if the number of open connections is at least 11 (the default --action is connections):

check_rabbitmq -H rabbitmq.mydomain -u admin -p mypassword -w 11:100 -c 11:1000

For usage:

check_rabbitmq --help

Requirements

• pynagios (Installation: pip install pynagios)
