NAME
rabbitmqctl - command line tool for managing a RabbitMQ broker
SYNOPSIS
rabbitmqctl [-n node] [-q] {command} [command options...]
DESCRIPTION
RabbitMQ is an implementation of AMQP, the emerging standard for high
performance enterprise messaging. The RabbitMQ server is a robust and
scalable implementation of an AMQP broker.
rabbitmqctl is a command line tool for managing a RabbitMQ broker. It
performs all actions by connecting to one of the broker's nodes.
Diagnostic information is displayed if the broker was not running,
could not be reached, or rejected the connection due to mismatching
Erlang cookies.
OPTIONS
[-n node]
Default node is "rabbit@server", where server is the local host. On
a host named "server.example.com", the node name of the RabbitMQ
Erlang node will usually be rabbit@server (unless RABBITMQ_NODENAME
has been set to some non-default value at broker startup time). The
output of hostname -s is usually the correct suffix to use after
the "@" sign. See rabbitmq-server(1) for details of configuring the
RabbitMQ broker.
[-q]
Quiet output mode is selected with the "-q" flag. Informational
messages are suppressed when quiet mode is in effect.
COMMANDS
Application and Cluster Management
stop [pid_file]
Stops the Erlang node on which RabbitMQ is running. To restart the
node follow the instructions for Running the Server in the
installation guide[1].
If a pid_file is specified, also waits for the process specified
there to terminate. See the description of the wait command below
for details on this file.
stop_app
Stops the RabbitMQ application, leaving the Erlang node running.
This command is typically run prior to performing other management
actions that require the RabbitMQ application to be stopped, e.g.
reset.
start_app
Starts the RabbitMQ application.
This command is typically run after performing other management
actions that required the RabbitMQ application to be stopped, e.g.
reset.
wait {pid_file}
Wait for the RabbitMQ application to start.
This command will wait for the RabbitMQ application to start at the
node. It will wait for the pid file to be created, then for a
process with a pid specified in the pid file to start, and then for
the RabbitMQ application to start in that process. It will fail if
the process terminates without starting the RabbitMQ application.
A suitable pid file is created by the rabbitmq-server script. By
default this is located in the Mnesia directory. Modify the
RABBITMQ_PID_FILE environment variable to change the location.
reset
Return a RabbitMQ node to its virgin state.
Removes the node from any cluster it belongs to, removes all data
from the management database, such as configured users and vhosts,
and deletes all persistent messages.
For reset and force_reset to succeed the RabbitMQ application must
have been stopped, e.g. with stop_app.
force_reset
Forcefully return a RabbitMQ node to its virgin state.
The force_reset command differs from reset in that it resets the
node unconditionally, regardless of the current management database
state and cluster configuration. It should only be used as a last
resort if the database or cluster configuration has been corrupted.
For reset and force_reset to succeed the RabbitMQ application must
have been stopped, e.g. with stop_app.
rotate_logs {suffix}
Instruct the RabbitMQ node to rotate the log files.
The RabbitMQ broker appends the contents of its log files to files
with names composed of the original name and the suffix, and then
resumes logging to freshly created files at the original location.
I.e. effectively the current log contents are moved to the end of
the suffixed files.
When the target files do not exist they are created. When no suffix
is specified, the empty log files are simply created at the
original location; no rotation takes place.
Cluster management
join_cluster {clusternode} [--ram]
clusternode
Node to cluster with.
[--ram]
If provided, the node will join the cluster as a RAM node.
Instruct the node to become a member of the cluster that the
specified node is in. Before clustering, the node is reset, so be
careful when using this command. For this command to succeed the
RabbitMQ application must have been stopped, e.g. with stop_app.
Cluster nodes can be of two types: disc or RAM. Disc nodes
replicate data in RAM and on disc, thus providing redundancy in the
event of node failure and recovery from global events such as power
failure across all nodes. RAM nodes replicate data in RAM only
(with the exception of queue contents, which can reside on disc if
the queue is persistent or too big to fit in memory) and are mainly
used for scalability. RAM nodes are more performant only when
managing resources (e.g. adding/removing queues, exchanges, or
bindings). A cluster must always have at least one disc node, and
usually should have more than one.
The node will be a disc node by default. If you wish to create a
RAM node, provide the --ram flag.
After executing the cluster command, whenever the RabbitMQ
application is started on the current node it will attempt to
connect to the nodes that were in the cluster when the node went
down.
To leave a cluster, reset the node. You can also remove nodes
remotely with the forget_cluster_node command.
For more details see the clustering guide[2].
cluster_status
Displays all the nodes in the cluster grouped by node type,
together with the currently running nodes.
change_cluster_node_type {disc | ram}
Changes the type of the cluster node. The node must be stopped for
this operation to succeed, and when turning a node into a RAM node
the node must not be the only disc node in the cluster.
forget_cluster_node [--offline]
[--offline]
Enables node removal from an offline node. This is only useful
in the situation where all the nodes are offline and the last
node to go down cannot be brought online, thus preventing the
whole cluster from starting. It should not be used in any other
circumstances since it can lead to inconsistencies.
Removes a cluster node remotely. The node that is being removed
must be offline, while the node we are removing from must be
online, except when using the --offline flag.
update_cluster_nodes {clusternode}
clusternode
The node to consult for up to date information.
Instructs an already clustered node to contact clusternode to
cluster when waking up. This is different from join_cluster since
it does not join any cluster - it checks that the node is already
in a cluster with clusternode.
The need for this command is motivated by the fact that clusters
can change while a node is offline. Consider the situation in which
node A and B are clustered. A goes down, C clusters with B, and
then B leaves the cluster. When A wakes up, it'll try to contact B,
but this will fail since B is not in the cluster anymore.
update_cluster_nodes -n A C will solve this situation.
sync_queue {queue}
queue
The name of the queue to synchronise.
Instructs a mirrored queue with unsynchronised slaves to
synchronise itself. The queue will block while synchronisation
takes place (all publishers to and consumers from the queue will
block). The queue must be mirrored for this command to succeed.
Note that unsynchronised queues from which messages are being
drained will become synchronised eventually. This command is
primarily useful for queues which are not being drained.
cancel_sync_queue {queue}
queue
The name of the queue to cancel synchronisation for.
Instructs a synchronising mirrored queue to stop synchronising
itself.
User management
Note that rabbitmqctl manages the RabbitMQ internal user database.
Users from any alternative authentication backend will not be visible
to rabbitmqctl.
add_user {username} {password}
username
The name of the user to create.
password
The password the created user will use to log in to the broker.
delete_user {username}
username
The name of the user to delete.
change_password {username} {newpassword}
username
The name of the user whose password is to be changed.
newpassword
The new password for the user.
clear_password {username}
username
The name of the user whose password is to be cleared.
set_user_tags {username} {tag ...}
username
The name of the user whose tags are to be set.
tag
Zero, one or more tags to set. Any existing tags will be
removed.
list_users
Lists users. Each result row will contain the user name followed by
a list of the tags set for that user.
Access control
Note that rabbitmqctl manages the RabbitMQ internal user database.
Permissions for users from any alternative authorisation backend will
not be visible to rabbitmqctl.
add_vhost {vhostpath}
vhostpath
The name of the virtual host entry to create.
Creates a virtual host.

information items to include in the results. The column order in
the results will match the order of the parameters. vhostinfoitem
can take any value from the list that follows:
name
The name of the virtual host with non-ASCII characters escaped
as in C.

Parameter Management
Certain features of RabbitMQ (such as the federation plugin) are
controlled by dynamic, cluster-wide parameters. Each parameter consists
of a component name, a name and a value, and is associated with a
virtual host. The component name and name are strings, and the value is
an Erlang term. Parameters can be set, cleared and listed. In general
you should refer to the documentation for the feature in question to
see how to set parameters.
set_parameter [-p vhostpath] {component_name} {name} {value}
Sets a parameter.
component_name
The name of the component for which the parameter is being set.
name
The name of the parameter being set.
value
The value for the parameter, as a JSON term. In most shells you
are very likely to need to quote this.
clear_parameter [-p vhostpath] {component_name} {key}
Clears a parameter.
component_name
The name of the component for which the parameter is being
cleared.
name
The name of the parameter being cleared.
list_parameters [-p vhostpath]
Lists all parameters for a virtual host.
Policy Management
Policies are used to control and modify the behaviour of queues and
exchanges on a cluster-wide basis. Policies apply within a given vhost,
and consist of a name, pattern, definition and an optional priority.
Policies can be set, cleared and listed.
set_policy [-p vhostpath] {name} {pattern} {definition} [priority]
Sets a policy.
name
The name of the policy.
pattern
The regular expression, which when matches on a given resources
causes the policy to apply.
definition
The definition of the policy, as a JSON term. In most shells
you are very likely to need to quote this.
priority
The priority of the policy as an integer, defaulting to 0.
Higher numbers indicate greater precedence.
clear_policy [-p vhostpath] {name}
Clears a policy.
name
The name of the policy being cleared.
list_policies [-p vhostpath]
Lists all policies for a virtual host.
Server Status
The server status queries interrogate the server and return a list of
results with tab-delimited columns. Some queries (list_queues,
list_exchanges, list_bindings, and list_consumers) accept an optional
vhost parameter. This parameter, if present, must be specified
immediately after the query.
The list_queues, list_exchanges and list_bindings commands accept an
optional virtual host parameter for which to display results. The
default value is "/".
list_queues [-p vhostpath] [queueinfoitem ...]
Returns queue details. Queue details of the / virtual host are
returned if the "-p" flag is absent. The "-p" flag can be used to
override this default.
The queueinfoitem parameter is used to indicate which queue
information items to include in the results. The column order in
the results will match the order of the parameters. queueinfoitem
can take any value from the list that follows:

the exclusive owner of the queue. Empty if the queue is
non-exclusive.
exclusive_consumer_pid
Id of the Erlang process representing the channel of the
exclusive consumer subscribed to this queue. Empty if there is
no exclusive consumer.
exclusive_consumer_tag
Consumer tag of the exclusive consumer subscribed to this
queue. Empty if there is no exclusive consumer.
messages_ready
Number of messages ready to be delivered to clients.
messages_unacknowledged
Number of messages delivered to clients but not yet
acknowledged.
messages
Sum of ready and unacknowledged messages (queue depth).
consumers
Number of consumers.
active_consumers
Number of active consumers. An active consumer is one which
could immediately receive any messages sent to the queue - i.e.
it is not limited by its prefetch count, TCP congestion, flow
control, or because it has issued channel.flow. At least one of
messages_ready and active_consumers must always be zero.
Note that this value is an instantaneous snapshot - when
consumers are restricted by their prefetch count they may only
appear to be active for small fractions of a second until more
messages are sent out.
memory
Bytes of memory consumed by the Erlang process associated with
the queue, including stack, heap and internal structures.
slave_pids
If the queue is mirrored, this gives the IDs of the current
slaves.
synchronised_slave_pids
If the queue is mirrored, this gives the IDs of the current
slaves which are synchronised with the master - i.e. those
which could take over from the master without message loss.
status
The status of the queue. Normally 'running', but may be
"{syncing, MsgCount}" if the queue is synchronising.
If no queueinfoitems are specified then queue name and depth are
displayed.
list_exchanges [-p vhostpath] [exchangeinfoitem ...]
Returns exchange details. Exchange details of the / virtual host
are returned if the "-p" flag is absent. The "-p" flag can be used
to override this default.
The exchangeinfoitem parameter is used to indicate which exchange
information items to include in the results. The column order in
the results will match the order of the parameters.
exchangeinfoitem can take any value from the list that follows:
name
The name of the exchange with non-ASCII characters escaped as
in C.
type
The exchange type (such as [direct, topic, headers, fanout]).
durable
Whether or not the exchange survives server restarts.

Whether the exchange will be deleted automatically when no
longer used.
internal
Whether the exchange is internal, i.e. cannot be directly
published to by a client.
arguments
Exchange arguments.
policy
Policy name for applying to the exchange.
If no exchangeinfoitems are specified then exchange name and type
are displayed.
list_bindings [-p vhostpath] [bindinginfoitem ...]
Returns binding details. By default the bindings for the / virtual
host are returned. The "-p" flag can be used to override this
default.
The bindinginfoitem parameter is used to indicate which binding
information items to include in the results. The column order in
the results will match the order of the parameters.
bindinginfoitem can take any value from the list that follows:
source_name
