NAME
rabbitmq-plugins — command line tool for managing RabbitMQ plugins
SYNOPSIS
rabbitmq-plugins [-q] [-s] [-l] [-n node] [-t timeout] command [command_options]
DESCRIPTION
rabbitmq-plugins is a command line tool for managing RabbitMQ plugins. See the RabbitMQ Plugins guide:
https://www.rabbitmq.com/plugins.html for an overview of RabbitMQ plugins and how they are used.
rabbitmq-plugins allows the operator to enable, disable and inspect plugins. It must be run by a user with
write permissions to the RabbitMQ configuration directory.
Plugins can depend on other plugins. rabbitmq-plugins resolves the dependencies and enables or disables
all dependencies so that the user doesn't have to manage them explicitly. Plugins listed on the
rabbitmq-plugins command line are marked as explicitly enabled; dependent plugins are marked as implicitly
enabled. Implicitly enabled plugins are automatically disabled again when they are no longer required.
The enable, disable, and set commands will update the plugins file and then attempt to connect to the
broker and ensure it is running all enabled plugins. By default if it is not possible to connect to and
authenticate with the target node (for example if it is stopped), the operation will fail. If
rabbitmq-plugins is used on the same host as the target node, --offline can be specified to make
rabbitmq-plugins resolve and update plugin state directly (without contacting the node). Such changes will
only have an effect on next node start. To learn more, see the RabbitMQ Plugins guide:
https://www.rabbitmq.com/plugins.html
OPTIONS
-n node
Default node is "rabbit@target-hostname", where target-hostname is the local host. On a host named
"myserver.example.com", the node name will usually be "rabbit@myserver" (unless RABBITMQ_NODENAME
has been overridden). The output of "hostname -s" is usually the correct suffix to use after the
"@" sign. See rabbitmq-server(8) for details of configuring a RabbitMQ node.
-q, --quiet
Quiet output mode is selected. Informational messages are reduced when quiet mode is in effect.
-s, --silent
Silent output mode is selected. Informational messages are reduced and table headers are
suppressed when silent mode is in effect.
-t timeout, --timeout timeout
Operation timeout in seconds. Not all commands support timeouts. Default is infinity.
-l, --longnames
Must be specified when the cluster is configured to use long (FQDN) node names. To learn more, see
the RabbitMQ Clustering guide: https://www.rabbitmq.com/clustering.html
--erlang-cookie cookie
Shared secret to use to authenticate to the target node. Prefer using a local file or the
RABBITMQ_ERLANG_COOKIE environment variable instead of specifying this option on the command line.

COMMANDS
list [-Eemv] [pattern]
-E Show only explicitly enabled plugins.
-e Show only explicitly or implicitly enabled plugins.
-m Show only plugin names (minimal).
-v Show all plugin details (verbose).
pattern
Pattern to filter the plugin names by.
Lists all plugins, their versions, dependencies and descriptions. Each plugin is prefixed with two
status indicator characters inside [ ]. The first indicator can be:
<space> to indicate that the plugin is not enabled
E to indicate that it is explicitly enabled
e to indicate that it is implicitly enabled
to indicate that it is enabled but missing and thus not operational
The second indicator can be:
<space> to show that the plugin is not running
* to show that it is
If the optional pattern is given, only plugins whose name matches pattern are shown.
For example, this command lists all plugins, on one line each
rabbitmq-plugins list
This command lists all plugins:
rabbitmq-plugins list -v
This command lists all plugins whose name contains "management".
rabbitmq-plugins list -v management
This command lists all implicitly or explicitly enabled RabbitMQ plugins.
rabbitmq-plugins list -e rabbit
enable [--offline] [--online] plugin ...
--offline
Modify node's enabled plugin state directly without contacting the node.
--online
Treat a failure to connect to the running broker as fatal.
plugin One or more plugins to enable.
Enables the specified plugins and all their dependencies.
For example, this command enables the "shovel" and "management" plugins and all their dependencies:
rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_shovel rabbitmq_management
disable [--offline] [--online] plugin ...
--offline
Modify node's enabled plugin state directly without contacting the node.
--online
Treat a failure to connect to the running broker as fatal.
plugin One or more plugins to disable.
Disables the specified plugins and all their dependencies.
For example, this command disables "rabbitmq_management" and all plugins that depend on it:
rabbitmq-plugins disable rabbitmq_management
set [--offline] [--online] [plugin ...]
--offline
Modify node's enabled plugin state directly without contacting the node.
--online
Treat a failure to connect to the running broker as fatal.
plugin Zero or more plugins to disable.
Enables the specified plugins and all their dependencies. Unlike enable, this command ignores and
overwrites any existing enabled plugins. set with no plugin arguments is a legal command meaning
"disable all plugins".
For example, this command enables the "management" plugin and its dependencies and disables
everything else:
rabbitmq-plugins set rabbitmq_management
