Checking RabbitMQ's Status on Linux using the Command Line Tool
The RabbitMQ command line tool is handy for verifying Linux RabbitMQ. This article shows how to use the command line tool to verify if RabbitMQ is operating.
Open a terminal and type "sudo rabbitmqctl status". This command shows RabbitMQ server status. The server's output includes:
RabbitMQ version
Erlang version
node name
• Uptime
Nodes running
Running queues
Running exchanges
Running bindings
Running connections
Channel count
Running consumers
Running publishers
User processes
If the server is down, the output will be:
RabbitMQ is down.
Erlang version
node name
• Uptime
Nodes running
Running queues
Running exchanges
Running bindings
Running connections
Channel count
Running consumers
Running publishers
User processes
If RabbitMQ is not operating, run "sudo rabbitmq-server start." After the server starts, use "sudo rabbitmqctl status" to verify its status.
Following these methods, you can easily use the RabbitMQ command line tool to check if Linux is running RabbitMQ.\
How to Check Linux RabbitMQ with the Management Plugin
The RabbitMQ Management Plugin monitors and manages the open-source message broker software. A web-based UI manages and monitors RabbitMQ nodes and clusters. Users can verify RabbitMQ on Linux with the plugin.
Follow these steps to utilise the RabbitMQ Management Plugin to verify Linux RabbitMQ:
Install RabbitMQ Management Plugin. RabbitMQ includes the plugin, which can be installed with the following command:
rabbitmq_plugins enable
2. Open RabbitMQ Management. After installing the plugin, visit http://localhost:15672 to access the UI.
3. Enter the UI. Guest is the default username and password.
4. RabbitMQ status. The "Overview" tab shows RabbitMQ status. "Running" indicates RabbitMQ's status.
Following these procedures, users can easily utilise the RabbitMQ Management Plugin to check if RabbitMQ is running on Linux.
How to Check Linux RabbitMQ Running with Logs
RabbitMQ logs on Linux can be used to verify operation. /var/log/rabbitmq contains RabbitMQ logs. Rabbit@.log is the RabbitMQ node's log file.
If RabbitMQ is running, check the log file for these messages:
"Starting broker…" RabbitMQ is started.
• "Broker running"—RabbitMQ is running.
"Stopping broker…" RabbitMQ is closing.
If the log file does not contain these messages, RabbitMQ may not be running. In this instance, verify the RabbitMQ setup. Check system logs for RabbitMQ-related faults.
How to Use Linux's RabbitMQ Status Command to Check for Running
To check if RabbitMQ is operating on Linux, use the Status command. This command checks the status of the RabbitMQ server, queues, exchanges, and bindings.
In a terminal window, enter the RabbitMQ Status command:
Status rabbitmqctl
This command displays RabbitMQ server status and established queues, exchanges, and bindings. If the server is running, this line will appear:
Node 'rabbit@hostname' status: [{running,}]
The output will include the line:
Node 'rabbit@hostname' status: [{stopped,}]
RabbitMQ Status may rapidly verify if RabbitMQ is running on Linux. It can also verify queues, exchanges, and bindings.
Checking RabbitMQ on Linux Troubleshooting
Run RabbitMQ on Linux properly. Troubleshooting RabbitMQ on Linux:
1. Check RabbitMQ service status with "sudo systemctl status rabbitmq-server" "Active (running)" indicates a running service.
2. Check RabbitMQ log files for faults or warnings that may indicate a service issue. Logs are stored /var/log/rabbitmq.
3. Check the RabbitMQ port: Use "netstat -an | grep 5672" to see if the port is listening. “tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5672 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN” indicates an open port.
4. Run "ps -ef | grep rabbitmq" to inspect the RabbitMQ process. If the process is running, the PID should be displayed.
Follow these troubleshooting steps to check if RabbitMQ is running on Linux. If problems arise, contact your system administrator.
