NAME

       check_rabbitmq_server - Nagios plugin using RabbitMQ management API to check the server
       resource usage (processes, memory, file descriptors, and sock descriptors)

SYNOPSIS

       check_rabbitmq_server [options] -H hostname

DESCRIPTION

       Use the management interface of RabbitMQ to check the resource usage of the server.  This
       check looks at the node statistics for the rabbit node on the host and examines the erlang
       memory, process and file descriptor usage.

       It provides performance data for each of these variables and allows for warning and
       criticality levels to be specified for each.

       It uses Monitoring::Plugin and accepts all standard Nagios options.

OPTIONS

       -h | --help
           Display help text

       -v | --verbose
           Verbose output

       -t | --timeout
           Set a timeout for the check in seconds

       -H | --hostname | --host
           The host to connect to

       --port
           The port to connect to (default: 55672)

       --ssl
           Use SSL when connecting (default: false)

       -w | --warning
           The warning levels, expressed as a percentage for each of memory, process, file
           descriptor and sockets usage.  This field consists of four comma-separated integers.
           (default: 80,80,80,80)

       -c | --critical
           The critical levels, expressed as a percentage for each of memory, process, file
           descriptor and sockets usage.  This field consists of four comma-separated integers.
           (default: 90,90,90,90)

       -n | --node
           The node name (default is hostname)

       --username | --user
           The user to connect as (default: guest)

       --pass
           The password for the user (default: guest)

EXAMPLES

       The defaults all work with a standard fresh install of RabbitMQ, and all that is needed is
       to specify the host to connect to:

           check_rabbitmq_server -H rabbit.example.com

       This returns a standard Nagios result:

           RABBITMQ_SERVER OK - Memory OK (6.19%) Process OK (0.01%)
               FD OK (2.53%) Sockets OK (0.86%) | Memory=6.19%;80;90 Process=0.01%;80;90 FD=2.53%;80;90 Sockets=0.86%;1;2

       You can specify different warning and criticality levels.  -w and -c both accept four
       comma-separated percentages which represent the thresholds for memory, process and file
       descriptor usage respectively.  For example, to specify warnings for memory at 60%,
       process at 80%, file descriptors at 95%, and socket descriptors at 90%:

           check_rabbitmq_server -H rabbit.example.com  -w 60,80,95,90

ERRORS

       The check tries to provide useful error messages on the status line for standard error
       conditions.

       Otherwise it returns the HTTP Error message returned by the management interface.

EXIT STATUS

       Returns zero if check is OK otherwise returns standard Nagios exit codes to signify
       WARNING, UNKNOWN or CRITICAL state.
