Questions regarding this exporter

[nexusguy59]

Hey Guys,

I am very very new to this and I have questions. Where would I ask such questions?

Thanks, Michael

Welcome,

it's better to ask here so we can share the knowledge. However, you can find me on erlang IRC cannel (freenode) as well as Erlang/Elixir Slack.

Hello deadtrickster,

Thank you for responding, I am very new to prometheus however I have installed quite a few exporters. Your exporter has no install instructions what so ever. Is there anyway you can walk me through your process of installing. I am not as smart as some of you folks so I would need some hand holding through it. I have your deadtrickster/rabbitmq_prometheus up and running. But I don't understand what the plugins are for because there are no ports for the prometheus_rabbitmq_exporter-v3.7.2.1.ez <- What is this for? How does it work? Also if there is an exporter could you share the install process so I can get it working please.

Just so you understand I have installed a prometheus Jira and Conluence plugins and I have also install node_exporter, rabbitmq_exporter by kbudde but his attaches to the ip address on a local machine, that won't work in the cloud. I have also insalled a proxmoxve exporter, cAdvisor Exporter, Docker_Exporter, and a WMI_exporter. So I understand how they work and what they do. I just need clear install instructions to get yours working for my project. This is like a critical thing I need to get working.

Thank you for your time, Michael

Michael,

this exporter doesn't need new ports because it attaches itself to rabbitmq management http endpoint.

prometheus_rabbitmq_exporter-v*.ex is a plugin for rabbitmq, so you need to read RabbitMQ plugin installation instructions and then download and enable the plugins.    

rabbitmq-plugins enable accept
rabbitmq-plugins enable prometheus
rabbitmq-plugins enable prometheus_cowboy
rabbitmq-plugins enable prometheus_httpd
rabbitmq-plugins enable prometheus_rabbitmq_exporter

Hello, I have read them and enabled the plugins, so now i need to know which port to point my prometheus to. I am sorry I don't mean to sound stupid but I am miffed as to which port it is using. I also understand that it has an endpoint that can use /metrics which I am aware of however not sure how to implement it.

Here is what i have at the moment: 6312c03d2c8e deadtrickster/rabbitmq_prometheus "docker-entrypoint.s…" 19 hours ago Up 17 hours 0.0.0.0:4369->4369/tcp, 0.0.0.0:5671->5671/tcp, 0.0.0.0:8080->8080/tcp, 0.0.0.0:9419->9419/tcp, 5672/tcp, 0.0.0.0:15671-15672->15671-15672/tcp, 25672/tcp admiring_liskov

Thank you for your time and hard work by the way. Michael

Default management port is 15672. You can configure the path as described in the configuration section of the README:

path - scrape endpoint. Default is "metrics". Note RabbitMQ translates this to "/api/metrics";

so default url will be http://localhost:15672/api/metrics

[nexusguy59]

Alright sir thank you I will work from that and see what i can do, Have a great day and again please understand I really appreciate your time. Thank you again.

[deadtrickster]

No problem, I hope you'll have your stuff working soon!

Hi nexusguy59,

Can you pls share if you were able to make the exporter work with Prometheus? I managed to have all required plugins enabled, but curl to the default URL http://localhost:15672/api/metrics not returning any data.

Hi @deadtrickster I have 3 node RabbitMQ cluster and I was wondering what the best way of monitoring the cluster is. Is it to install rabbitmq_exporter plugin to all 3 nodes and let prometheus hit the cluster's load balancer or should it only hit one node always?

[nexusguy59]

As far as I understand it you would need one on all 3 nodes however I believe you can use one exporter to get metrics from all 3, but i haven't done that.
