NAME

     rabbitmq-env.conf — environment variables used by RabbitMQ server

DESCRIPTION

     rabbitmq-env.conf contains environment variables that override the defaults built in to the
     RabbitMQ scripts and CLI tools.

     The file is interpreted by the system shell, and so should consist of a sequence of shell
     environment variable definitions.  Normal shell syntax is permitted (since the file is
     sourced using the shell "." operator), including line comments starting with "#".

     In order of preference, the startup scripts get their values from the environment, from
     rabbitmq-env.conf and finally from the built-in default values.  For example, for the
     RABBITMQ_NODENAME setting, RABBITMQ_NODENAME from the environment is checked first.  If it
     is absent or equal to the empty string, then NODENAME from rabbitmq-env.conf is checked.  If
     it is also absent or set equal to the empty string then the default value from the startup
     script is used.

     The variable names in rabbitmq-env.conf are always equal to the environment variable names,
     with the "RABBITMQ_" prefix removed: RABBITMQ_NODE_PORT from the environment becomes
     NODE_PORT in rabbitmq-env.conf.

EXAMPLES

     Below is an example of a minimalistic rabbitmq-env.conf file that overrides the default node
     name prefix from "rabbit" to "hare".

           # I am a complete rabbitmq-env.conf file.
           # Comment lines start with a hash character.
           # This is a /bin/sh script file - use ordinary envt var syntax
           NODENAME=hare

     In the below rabbitmq-env.conf file RabbitMQ configuration file location is changed to
     "/data/services/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf".

           # I am a complete rabbitmq-env.conf file.
           # Comment lines start with a hash character.
           # This is a /bin/sh script file - use ordinary envt var syntax
           CONFIG_FILE=/data/services/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf
