Description


RABBITMQ-ENV.CONF(5)        BSD File Formats Manual       RABBITMQ-ENV.CONF(5)

NAME
     rabbitmq-env.conf -- environment variables used by RabbitMQ server

DESCRIPTION
     rabbitmq-env.conf contains environment variables that override the
     defaults built in to the RabbitMQ scripts and CLI tools.

     The file is interpreted by the system shell, and so should consist of a
     sequence of shell environment variable definitions.  Normal shell syntax
     is permitted (since the file is sourced using the shell "." operator),
     including line comments starting with "#".

     In order of preference, the startup scripts get their values from the
     environment, from rabbitmq-env.conf and finally from the built-in default
     values.  For example, for the RABBITMQ_NODENAME setting,
     RABBITMQ_NODENAME from the environment is checked first.  If it is absent
     or equal to the empty string, then NODENAME from rabbitmq-env.conf is
     checked.  If it is also absent or set equal to the empty string then the
     default value from the startup script is used.

     The variable names in rabbitmq-env.conf are always equal to the environ-
     ment variable names, with the "RABBITMQ_" prefix removed:
     RABBITMQ_NODE_PORT from the environment becomes NODE_PORT in
     rabbitmq-env.conf.

EXAMPLES
     Below is an example of a minimalistic rabbitmq-env.conf file that over-
     rides the default node name prefix from "rabbit" to "hare".

           # I am a complete rabbitmq-env.conf file.
           # Comment lines start with a hash character.
           # This is a /bin/sh script file - use ordinary envt var syntax
           NODENAME=hare

     In the below rabbitmq-env.conf file RabbitMQ configuration file location
     is changed to "/data/services/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf".

           # I am a complete rabbitmq-env.conf file.
           # Comment lines start with a hash character.
           # This is a /bin/sh script file - use ordinary envt var syntax
           CONFIG_FILE=/data/services/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf
