RabbitMQ messaging system
=========================

RabbitMQ is a complete and highly reliable enterprise messaging system based on the emerging AMQP standard.

Sample pillars
==============

Standalone Broker
-----------------

RabbitMQ as AMQP broker with admin user and vhosts

.. code-block:: yaml

    rabbitmq:
      server:
        enabled: true
        memory:
          vm_high_watermark: 0.4
        bind:
          address: 0.0.0.0
          port: 5672
        secret_key: rabbit_master_cookie
        admin:
          name: adminuser
          password: pwd
        plugins:
        - amqp_client
        - rabbitmq_management
        host:
          '/monitor':
            enabled: true
            user: 'monitor'
            password: 'password'

RabbitMQ as a Stomp broker

.. code-block:: yaml

    rabbitmq:
      server:
        enabled: true
        secret_key: rabbit_master_cookie
        bind:
          address: 0.0.0.0
          port: 5672
        host:
          '/monitor':
            enabled: true
            user: 'monitor'
            password: 'password'
        plugins_runas_user: rabbitmq
        plugins:
        - rabbitmq_stomp

RabbitMQ cluster
----------------

RabbitMQ as base cluster node

.. code-block:: yaml

    rabbitmq:
      server:
        enabled: true
        bind:
          address: 0.0.0.0
          port: 5672
        secret_key: rabbit_master_cookie
        admin:
          name: adminuser
          password: pwd
      cluster:
        enabled: true
        role: master
        mode: disc
        members:
        - name: openstack1
          host: 10.10.10.212
        - name: openstack2
          host: 10.10.10.213

HA Queues definition

.. code-block:: yaml

    rabbitmq:
      server:
        enabled: true
        ...
        host:
          '/monitor':
            enabled: true
            user: 'monitor'
            password: 'password'
            policies:
            - name: HA
              pattern: '^(?!amq\.).*'
              definition: '{"ha-mode": "all"}'


Enable TLS support
------------------

To enable support of TLS for rabbitmq-server you need to provide a path to cacert, server cert and private key :

.. code-block:: yaml

   rabbitmq:
      server:
        enabled: true
        ...
        ssl:
          enabled: True
          key_file: /etc/rabbitmq/ssl/key.pem
          cert_file: /etc/rabbitmq/ssl/cert.pem
          ca_file: /etc/rabbitmq/ssl/ca.pem

To manage content of these files you can either use the following options:

.. code-block:: yaml

   rabbitmq:
      server:
        enabled: true
        ...
        ssl:
          enabled: True

          key_file: /etc/rabbitmq/ssl/key.pem
          key: |
          -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
                    ...
          -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-------

          ca_file: /etc/rabbitmq/ssl/ca.pem
          cacert_chain: |
          -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
                    ...
          -----END CERTIFICATE-------

          cert_file: /etc/rabbitmq/ssl/cert.pem
          cert: |
          -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
                    ...
          -----END CERTIFICATE-------


Or you can use the `salt.minion.cert` salt state which
creates all required files according to defined reclass model [1]. In this case you need just to enable ssl and nothing more:

.. code-block:: yaml

   rabbitmq:
      server:
        enabled: true
        ...
        ssl:
          enabled: True

--

Defaut port for TLS is **5671**:

.. code-block:: yaml

  rabbitmq:
    server:
      bind:
        ssl:
         port: 5671

Usage
=====

Check cluster status, example shows running cluster with 3 nodes: ctl-1, ctl-2, ctl-3

.. code-block:: yaml

    > rabbitmqctl cluster_status

    Cluster status of node 'rabbit@ctl-1' ...
    [{nodes,[{disc,['rabbit@ctl-1','rabbit@ctl-2','rabbit@ctl-3']}]},
     {running_nodes,['rabbit@ctl-3','rabbit@ctl-2','rabbit@ctl-1']},
     {partitions,[]}]
    ...done.

Setup management user.

.. code-block:: yaml

    > rabbitmqctl add_vhost vhost
    > rabbitmqctl add_user user alive
    > rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p vhost user ".*" ".*" ".*"
    > rabbitmqctl set_user_tags user management

EPD process is Erlang Port Mapper Daemon. It's a feature of the Erlang runtime that helps Erlang nodes to find each other. It's a pretty tiny thing and doesn't contain much state (other than "what Erlang nodes are running on this system?") so it's not a huge deal for it to still be running.
Although it's running as user rabbitmq, it was started automatically by the Erlang VM when we started. We've considered adding "epmd -kill" to our shutdown script - but that would break any other Erlang apps running on the system; it's more "global" than RabbitMQ.
