SkyWalking leverages rabbitmq_prometheus plugin for collecting metrics data from RabbitMQ. It leverages OpenTelemetry Collector to transfer the metrics to OpenTelemetry receiver and into the Meter System.
rabbitmq_prometheus plugin collect metrics data from RabbitMQ. Note: The RabbitMQ version is required to be 3.8.0+. The rabbitmq_prometheus plugin is built-in since RabbitMQ v3.8.0.rabbitmq_prometheus plugin via Prometheus Receiver and pushes metrics to SkyWalking OAP Server via OpenTelemetry gRPC exporter.RabbitMQ monitoring provides multidimensional metrics monitoring of RabbitMQ cluster as Layer: RABBITMQ Service in the OAP. In each cluster, the nodes are represented as Instance.
| Monitoring Panel | Metric Name | Description | Data Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Memory Available Before Publishers Blocked (MB) | meter_rabbitmq_memory_available_before_publisher_blocked | If the value is zero or less, the memory alarm will be triggered and all publishing connections across all cluster nodes will be blocked. | rabbitmq_prometheus plugin |
| Disk Space Available Before Publishers Blocked (GB) | meter_rabbitmq_disk_space_available_before_publisher_blocked | This metric is reported for the partition where the RabbitMQ data directory is stored. | rabbitmq_prometheus plugin |
| File Descriptors Available | meter_rabbitmq_file_descriptors_available | When this value reaches zero, new connections will not be accepted and disk write operations may fail. | rabbitmq_prometheus plugin |

| Queues Total | meter_rabbitmq_queues | Total number of queue masters per node. | rabbitmq_prometheus plugin |
| Queues Declared | meter_rabbitmq_queues_declared_total | The rate of queue declarations performed by clients. | rabbitmq_prometheus plugin |
| Queues Created | meter_rabbitmq_queues_created_total | The rate of new queues created (as opposed to redeclarations). | rabbitmq_prometheus plugin |
| Queues Deleted | meter_rabbitmq_queues_deleted_total | The rate of queues deleted. | rabbitmq_prometheus plugin |
| Channels Total | meter_rabbitmq_channels | Total number of channels on all currently opened connections. | rabbitmq_prometheus plugin |
| Channels Opened | meter_rabbitmq_channels_opened_total | The rate of new channels opened by applications across all connections. Channels are expected to be long-lived. | rabbitmq_prometheus plugin |
| Channels Closed | meter_rabbitmq_channels_closed_total | The rate of channels closed by applications across all connections. Channels are expected to be long-lived. | rabbitmq_prometheus plugin |
| Connections Total | meter_rabbitmq_connections | Total number of client connections. | rabbitmq_prometheus plugin |
| Connections Opened | meter_rabbitmq_connections_opened_total | The rate of new connections opened by clients. Connections are expected to be long-lived. | rabbitmq_prometheus plugin |
| Connections Closed | meter_rabbitmq_connections_closed_total | The rate of connections closed. Connections are expected to be long-lived. | rabbitmq_prometheus plugin |
