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.

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.  To learn more, see the RabbitMQ CLI Tools guide:
             https://www.rabbitmq.com/cli.html

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
