Notify me when RabbitMQ has a problem
May 3, 2021 by David Ansari & Gerhard LazuIf you want to be notified when your RabbitMQ deployments have a problem, now you can set up the RabbitMQ monitoring and alerting that we have made available in the RabbitMQ Cluster Operator repository. Rather than asking you to follow a series of steps for setting up RabbitMQ monitoring & alerting, we have combined this in a single command. While this is a Kubernetes-specific quick-start, and you can use these Prometheus alerts outside of Kubernetes, the setup will require more consideration and effort on your part.
Preparing for the Bintray Shutdown: How to Migrate
March 31, 2021 by Michael KlishinBintray, one of the services our team currently uses to distribute packages, is shutting down on May 1st, 2021.
This post explains what alternative services are available for the RabbitMQ community today or will be before the shutdown date.
No new releases will be published to Bintray going forward. Those who do not switch from Bintray before May 1st will see their deployments begin failing. We highly recommend making migration off of Bintray both an important and urgent task.
Erlang 24 Support Roadmap
March 23, 2021 by Michael KlishinTL;DR
- Erlang 24 will ship in May and it offers significant performance gains to RabbitMQ users
- Supporting Erlang 24 and 22 at the same time is not feasible, so in early May 2021, Erlang 22 support will be dropped
- If you run on Erlang 22, upgrade to 23.2 today: it should be a drop-in replacement
- Users of the RabbitMQ Kubernetes Operator, the Docker community image and modern releases of VMware Tanzu RabbitMQ for VMs are not affected as those projects all use Erlang 23 today
How to Monitor Authentication Attempts
March 1, 2021 by Diana Parra CorbachoWe have been constantly improving the monitoring capabilities that are built into RabbitMQ since shipping native Prometheus support in 3.8.0. Monitoring the broker and its clients is critically important for detecting issues before they affect the rest of the environment and, eventually, the end users.
RabbitMQ 3.8.10 exposes client authentication attempts metrics via both the Prometheus endpoint and the HTTP API.
