Mastering RabbitMQ

Chapter 2. Configuring RabbitMQ

Configuration is one of the crucial parts for administrating RabbitMQ. With an excellent configuration, RabbitMQ can send and receive messages effectively between applications, processes, and threads.

There are three ways to configure RabbitMQ. The first way is to use the RabbitMQ environment variables that lie on the environment variables of the operating system, the second way is through the configuration file provided by RabbitMQ, and the last way is to use runtime parameters. This configuration diversity gives full control of RabbitMQ on server side and operating system side.

This chapter covers the overall idea behind the configuration of RabbitMQ and three ways to configure it. So, we'll cover the following points:

The overall configuration of RabbitMQ
The RabbitMQ environment variables
The configuration file
The runtime parameters

Runtime parameters

RabbitMQ provides environment variables and configuration variables to configure RabbitMQ when starting the RabbitMQ server. In addition to these configurations, RabbitMQ allows us to change parameters, which were set in the environment variables and configuration variables in the runtime using the runtime parameters.

We can use the command-line tool for managing the RabbitMQ broker for changing the runtime parameters, as shown in the following screenshot:

Parameter management

Parameter management is a way to configure RabbitMQ by setting the parameter values. We are able to change parameters using the set_parameter command of rabbitmqctl. Moreover, we can change the different types of components of RabbitMQ with the given component_name attribute. The following tables shows the parameters and description of the runtime parameters:

Parameter	Description
`set_parameter [-p vhostpath] {component_name} {name} {value...`

Key benefits

Learn how to administer, manage, and extend your own message broker, RabbitMQ
Develop clients to make a message bridge between your software systems using RabbitMQ
Discover how to achieve proficiency with RabbitMQ with the well-defined descriptions of the topics

Description

RabbitMQ is one of the most powerful Open Source message broker software, which is widely used in tech companies such as Mozilla, VMware, Google, AT&T, and so on. RabbitMQ gives you lots of fantastic and easy-to-manage functionalities to control and manage the messaging facility with lots of community support. As scalability is one of our major modern problems, messaging with RabbitMQ is the main part of the solution to this problem This book explains and demonstrates the RabbitMQ server in a detailed way. It provides you with lots of real-world examples and advanced solutions to tackle the scalability issues. You’ll begin your journey with the installation and configuration of the RabbitMQ server, while also being given specific details pertaining to the subject. Next, you’ll study the major problems that our server faces, including scalability and high availability, and try to get the solutions for both of these issues by using the RabbitMQ mechanisms. Following on from this, you’ll get to design and develop your own plugins using the Erlang language and RabbitMQ’s internal API. This knowledge will help you to start with the management and monitoring of the messages, tools, and applications. You’ll also gain an understanding of the security and integrity of the messaging facilities that RabbitMQ provides. In the last few chapters, you will build and keep track of your clients (senders and receivers) using Java, Python, and C#.

Who is this book for?

If you are an intermediate-level RabbitMQ developer, who wants to achieve professional-level expertise in the subject, this book is for you. You’ll also need to have a decent understanding of message queuing.

What you will learn

Administer RabbitMQ using different tools
Understand the roots and details of messaging, message brokers, and AMQP protocol
Scale the RabbitMQ server using the clusters and high availability techniques
Extend RabbitMQ by developing the Erlang OTP-based applications that use the RabbitMQ API
Manage the RabbitMQ server using its powerful tools
Monitor the RabbitMQ Server using different open source tools such as Nagios, Munin, and Zabbix
Ensure your RabbitMQ's security using SSL, SASL, and access control
Develop RabbitMQ clients using Java, Python, and C# with an industry example

Pros:1. Plentiful & good diagrams2. Starts with a good overview/non-code approachCons;1. Highly repetitive2. Did not find any code samples associated with the book at the publisher website3. Code samples are at the end of the book; not integrated within each chapter as you go along.

Poorly written, lots of filler like screenshots of installer dialogs and repetitive console text dumps. Largely just recycles information available online.

This book has spelling mistakes on almost every page, the language in general is beyond horrible and repetitive, never imagined any publisher can approve a book like this.Very little content : Mostly screenshots, tables of options supported by commands - all of this content can be read directly in RabbitMQ introduction web pageTries to touch every topic without covering anythingLooks like this book was written over couple of weekends!If you want a good book on Rabbit MQ try the one written by Rabbit author itself :RabbitMQ in Action by Alvaro Videla

Nicus Jan 29, 2016

One of the worst technical book ever.The description says it it targeted to intermediate-level RabbitMQ developers, but it actually starts from Adam-and-Eve, not getting into any advanced subject.It wastes pages for transcripts of CLI command responses.Endless lists of command line parameters without any actual explanation beyond what you may find in the normal references.Pages of boilerplate code examples were only a couple of lines are relevant, and no comment for these two lines...It could be easily concentrated in 20 pages.Also, after all these pages, it fails in the goal of explaining how RabbitMQ topology works and the different behaviour of exchange types.
