check_rabbitmq_objects - Nagios plugin using RabbitMQ management API to count the number of various broker objects

check_rabbitmq_objects [options] -H hostname

Use the management interface of RabbitMQ to count the number of various broker objects. These are published as performance metrics for the check.

Currently the following objects are counted:

  • vhost
  • exchange
  • binding
  • queue
  • channel

It uses Monitoring::Plugin and accepts all standard Nagios options.

Display help text
Verbose output
Set a timeout for the check in seconds
The host to connect to
The port to connect to (default: 55672)
Use SSL when connecting (default: false)
The user to connect as (default: guest)
The password for the user (default: guest)

The defaults all work with a standard fresh install of RabbitMQ, and all that is needed is to specify the host to connect to:

    check_rabbitmq_objects -H rabbit.example.com

This returns a standard Nagios result:

    RABBITMQ_OBJECTS OK - Gathered Object Counts | vhost=1;; exchange=7;;
      binding=2;; queue=1;; channel=0;;

The check tries to provide useful error messages on the status line for standard error conditions.

Otherwise it returns the HTTP Error message returned by the management interface.

Returns zero if check is OK otherwise returns standard Nagios exit codes to signify WARNING, UNKNOWN or CRITICAL state.

See Monitoring::Plugin(3)
