FAQ - Do I Need the RabbitMQ Management Plugin?
Question
Do I need the RabbitMQ Management Plugin installed to use the Nodinite RabbitMQ Monitoring Agent?
Answer
Yes. The RabbitMQ Monitoring Agent uses the RabbitMQ Management HTTP API for monitoring—requires Management Plugin enabled (enabled by default in most RabbitMQ distributions). The agent connects via HTTPS/HTTP to the Management API port (default 15672 HTTPS, 15672 HTTP).
How to Verify
Check if the Management Plugin is enabled:
rabbitmq-plugins list
Look for [E*] next to rabbitmq_management:
[E*] rabbitmq_management 3.11.0
If not enabled, enable it:
rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
Then restart RabbitMQ service for changes to take effect.
