NAME
rabbitmqctl — tool for managing RabbitMQ nodes
SYNOPSIS
rabbitmqctl [-q] [-s] [-l] [-n node] [-t timeout] command [command_options]
DESCRIPTION
RabbitMQ is an open source multi-protocol messaging broker.
rabbitmqctl is the main command line tool for managing a RabbitMQ server node, together with
rabbitmq-diagnostics , rabbitmq-upgrade , and others.
It performs all actions by connecting to the target RabbitMQ node on a dedicated CLI tool
communication port and authenticating using a shared secret (known as the cookie file).
Diagnostic information is displayed if connection failed, the target node was not running,
or rabbitmqctl could not authenticate to the target node successfully.
To learn more, see the RabbitMQ CLI Tools guide: https://rabbitmq.com/cli.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.
--no-table-headers
Do not output headers for tabular data.
--dry-run
Do not run the command. Only print information message.
-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
help [-l] [command_name]
Prints usage for all available commands.
-l, --list-commands
List command usages only, without parameter explanation.
command_name
Prints usage for the specified command.
version
Displays CLI tools version
Nodes
await_startup
Waits for the RabbitMQ application to start on the target node
For example, to wait for the RabbitMQ application to start:
rabbitmqctl await_startup
reset
Returns a RabbitMQ node to its virgin state.
Removes the node from any cluster it belongs to, removes all data from the
management database, such as configured users and vhosts, and deletes all persistent
messages.
For reset and force_reset to succeed the RabbitMQ application must have been
stopped, e.g. with stop_app.
For example, to reset the RabbitMQ node:
rabbitmqctl reset
rotate_logs
Instructs the RabbitMQ node to perform internal log rotation.
Log rotation is performed according to the logging settings specified in the
configuration file. The rotation operation is asynchronous, there is no guarantee
that it has completed when this command returns.
Note that there is no need to call this command in case of external log rotation
(e.g. from logrotate(8)).
For example, to initial log rotation:
rabbitmqctl rotate_logs
shutdown
Shuts down the node, both RabbitMQ and its runtime. The command is blocking and
will return after the runtime process exits. If RabbitMQ fails to stop, it will
return a non-zero exit code. This command infers the OS PID of the target node and
therefore can only be used to shut down nodes running on the same host (or broadly
speaking, in the same operating system, e.g. in the same VM or container)
Unlike the stop command, the shutdown command:
• does not require a pid_file to wait for the runtime process to exit
• returns a non-zero exit code if RabbitMQ node is not running
For example, this will shut down a locally running RabbitMQ node with default node
name:
rabbitmqctl shutdown
start_app
Starts the RabbitMQ application.
This command is typically run after performing other management actions that
required the RabbitMQ application to be stopped, e.g. reset.
For example, to instruct the RabbitMQ node to start the RabbitMQ application:
rabbitmqctl start_app
stop [pid_file]
Stops the Erlang node on which RabbitMQ is running. To restart the node follow the
instructions for "Running the Server" in the installation guide:
https://rabbitmq.com/download.html.
If a pid_file is specified, also waits for the process specified there to terminate.
See the description of the wait command for details on this file.
For example, to instruct the RabbitMQ node to terminate:
rabbitmqctl stop
stop_app
Stops the RabbitMQ application, leaving the runtime (Erlang VM) running.
This command is typically run prior to performing other management actions that
require the RabbitMQ application to be stopped, e.g. reset.
For example, to instruct the RabbitMQ node to stop the RabbitMQ application:
rabbitmqctl stop_app
wait pid_file, wait --pid pid
Waits for the RabbitMQ application to start.
This command will wait for the RabbitMQ application to start at the node. It will
wait for the pid file to be created if pidfile is specified, then for a process with
a pid specified in the pid file or the --pid argument, and then for the RabbitMQ
application to start in that process. It will fail if the process terminates
without starting the RabbitMQ application.
If the specified pidfile is not created or erlang node is not started within
--timeout the command will fail. Default timeout is 10 seconds.
A suitable pid file is created by the rabbitmq-server(8) script. By default this is
located in the Mnesia directory. Modify the RABBITMQ_PID_FILE environment variable
to change the location.
For example, this command will return when the RabbitMQ node has started up:
rabbitmqctl wait /var/run/rabbitmq/pid
Cluster management
await_online_nodes count
Waits for count nodes to join the cluster
For example, to wait for two RabbitMQ nodes to start:
rabbitmqctl await_online_nodes 2
change_cluster_node_type type
Changes the type of the cluster node.
The type must be one of the following:
• disc
• ram
The node must be stopped for this operation to succeed, and when turning a node into
a RAM node the node must not be the only disc node in the cluster.
For example, this command will turn a RAM node into a disc node:
rabbitmqctl change_cluster_node_type disc
cluster_status
Displays all the nodes in the cluster grouped by node type, together with the
currently running nodes.
For example, this command displays the nodes in the cluster:
rabbitmqctl cluster_status
force_boot
Ensures that the node will start next time, even if it was not the last to shut
down.
Normally when you shut down a RabbitMQ cluster altogether, the first node you
restart should be the last one to go down, since it may have seen things happen that
other nodes did not. But sometimes that's not possible: for instance if the entire
cluster loses power then all nodes may think they were not the last to shut down.
In such a case you can invoke force_boot while the node is down. This will tell the
node to unconditionally start next time you ask it to. If any changes happened to
the cluster after this node shut down, they will be lost.
If the last node to go down is permanently lost then you should use
forget_cluster_node --offline in preference to this command, as it will ensure that
mirrored queues which had their leader replica on the lost node get promoted.
For example, this will force the node not to wait for other nodes next time it is
started:
rabbitmqctl force_boot
force_reset
Forcefully returns a RabbitMQ node to its virgin state.
The force_reset command differs from reset in that it resets the node
unconditionally, regardless of the current management database state and cluster
configuration. It should only be used as a last resort if the database or cluster
configuration has been corrupted.
For reset and force_reset to succeed the RabbitMQ application must have been
stopped, e.g. with stop_app.
For example, to reset the RabbitMQ node:
rabbitmqctl force_reset
forget_cluster_node [--offline]
--offline
Enables node removal from an offline node. This is only useful in the
situation where all the nodes are offline and the last node to go down
cannot be brought online, thus preventing the whole cluster from starting.
It should not be used in any other circumstances since it can lead to
inconsistencies.
Removes a cluster node remotely. The node that is being removed must be offline,
while the node we are removing from must be online, except when using the --offline
flag.
When using the --offline flag , rabbitmqctl will not attempt to connect to a node as
normal; instead it will temporarily become the node in order to make the change.
This is useful if the node cannot be started normally. In this case the node will
become the canonical source for cluster metadata (e.g. which queues exist), even if
it was not before. Therefore you should use this command on the latest node to shut
down if at all possible.
For example, this command will remove the node "rabbit@stringer" from the node
"hare@mcnulty":
rabbitmqctl -n hare@mcnulty forget_cluster_node rabbit@stringer
join_cluster seed-node [--ram]
seed-node
Existing cluster member (seed node) to cluster with.
--ram If provided, the node will join the cluster as a RAM node. RAM node use is
discouraged. Use only if you understand why exactly you need to use them.
Instructs the node to become a member of the cluster that the specified node is in.
Before clustering, the node is reset, so be careful when using this command. For
this command to succeed the RabbitMQ application must have been stopped, e.g. with
stop_app.
Cluster nodes can be of two types: disc or RAM. Disc nodes replicate data in RAM
and on disc, thus providing redundancy in the event of node failure and recovery
from global events such as power failure across all nodes. RAM nodes replicate data
in RAM only (with the exception of queue contents, which can reside on disc if the
queue is persistent or too big to fit in memory) and are mainly used for
scalability. RAM nodes are more performant only when managing resources (e.g.
adding/removing queues, exchanges, or bindings). A cluster must always have at
least one disc node, and usually should have more than one.
The node will be a disc node by default. If you wish to create a RAM node, provide
the --ram flag.
After executing the join_cluster command, whenever the RabbitMQ application is
started on the current node it will attempt to connect to the nodes that were in the
cluster when the node went down.
To leave a cluster, reset the node. You can also remove nodes remotely with the
forget_cluster_node command.
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ node to join the cluster that
"hare@elena" is part of, as a ram node:
rabbitmqctl join_cluster hare@elena --ram
To learn more, see the RabbitMQ Clustering guide:
https://www.rabbitmq.com/clustering.html.
rename_cluster_node oldnode1 newnode1 [oldnode2 newnode2 ...]
Supports renaming of cluster nodes in the local database.
This subcommand causes rabbitmqctl to temporarily become the node in order to make
the change. The local cluster node must therefore be completely stopped; other
nodes can be online or offline.
This subcommand takes an even number of arguments, in pairs representing the old and
new names for nodes. You must specify the old and new names for this node and for
any other nodes that are stopped and being renamed at the same time.
It is possible to stop all nodes and rename them all simultaneously (in which case
old and new names for all nodes must be given to every node) or stop and rename
nodes one at a time (in which case each node only needs to be told how its own name
is changing).
For example, this command will rename the node "rabbit@misshelpful" to the node
"rabbit@cordelia"
rabbitmqctl rename_cluster_node rabbit@misshelpful rabbit@cordelia
Note that this command only changes the local database. It may also be necessary to
rename the local database directories, and to configure the new node name. For
example:
1. Stop the node:
rabbitmqctl stop rabbit@misshelpful
2. Rename the node in the local database:
rabbitmqctl rename_cluster_node rabbit@misshelpful rabbit@cordelia
3. Rename the local database directories (note, you do not need to do this if you
have set the RABBITMQ_MNESIA_DIR environment variable):
mv \
/var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia/rabbit\@misshelpful \
/var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia/rabbit\@cordelia
mv \
/var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia/rabbit\@misshelpful-rename \
/var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia/rabbit\@cordelia-rename
mv \
/var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia/rabbit\@misshelpful-plugins-expand \
/var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia/rabbit\@cordelia-plugins-expand
4. If node name is configured e.g. using /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-env.conf it has
also be updated there.
5. Start the node when ready
update_cluster_nodes clusternode
clusternode
The node to consult for up-to-date information.
Instructs an already clustered node to contact clusternode to cluster when booting
up. This is different from join_cluster since it does not join any cluster - it
checks that the node is already in a cluster with clusternode.
The need for this command is motivated by the fact that clusters can change while a
node is offline. Consider a situation where node rabbit@A and rabbit@B are
clustered. rabbit@A goes down, rabbit@C clusters with rabbit@B, and then rabbit@B
leaves the cluster. When rabbit@A starts back up, it'll try to contact rabbit@B,
but this will fail since rabbit@B is not in the cluster anymore. The following
command will rename node rabbit@B to rabbit@C on node rabbitA
update_cluster_nodes -n rabbit@A rabbit@B rabbit@C
To learn more, see the RabbitMQ Clustering guide:
https://www.rabbitmq.com/clustering.html
Replication
sync_queue [-p vhost] queue
queue The name of the queue to synchronise.
Instructs a mirrored queue with unsynchronised mirrors (follower replicas) to
synchronise them. The queue will block while synchronisation takes place (all
publishers to and consumers using the queue will block or temporarily see no
activity). This command can only be used with mirrored queues. To learn more, see
the RabbitMQ Mirroring guide: https://www.rabbitmq.com/ha.html
Note that queues with unsynchronised replicas and active consumers will become
synchronised eventually (assuming that consumers make progress). This command is
primarily useful for queues which do not have active consumers.
cancel_sync_queue [-p vhost] queue
queue The name of the queue to cancel synchronisation for.
Instructs a synchronising mirrored queue to stop synchronising itself.
User Management
Note that all user management commands rabbitmqctl only can manage users in the internal
RabbitMQ database. Users from any alternative authentication backends such as LDAP cannot
be inspected or managed with those commands. rabbitmqctl.
add_user username password
username
The name of the user to create.
password
The password the created user will use to log in to the broker.
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to create a (non-
administrative) user named "janeway" with (initial) password "changeit":
rabbitmqctl add_user janeway changeit
authenticate_user username password
username
The name of the user.
password
The password of the user.
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to authenticate the user
named "janeway" with password "verifyit":
rabbitmqctl authenticate_user janeway verifyit
change_password username newpassword
username
The name of the user whose password is to be changed.
newpassword
The new password for the user.
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to change the password for
the user named "janeway" to "newpass":
rabbitmqctl change_password janeway newpass
clear_password username
username
The name of the user whose password is to be cleared.
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to clear the password for
the user named "janeway":
rabbitmqctl clear_password janeway
This user now cannot log in with a password (but may be able to through e.g. SASL
EXTERNAL if configured).
hash_password plaintext
plaintext
The plaintext password to hash
Hashes a plaintext password according to the currently configured password hashing
algorithm
delete_user username
username
The name of the user to delete.
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to delete the user named
"janeway":
rabbitmqctl delete_user janeway
list_users
Lists users. Each result row will contain the user name followed by a list of the
tags set for that user.
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to list all users:
rabbitmqctl list_users
set_user_tags username [tag ...]
username
The name of the user whose tags are to be set.
tag Zero, one or more tags to set. Any existing tags will be removed.
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to ensure the user named
"janeway" is an administrator:
rabbitmqctl set_user_tags janeway administrator
This has no effect when the user authenticates using a messaging protocol, but can
be used to permit the user to manage users, virtual hosts and permissions when the
user logs in via some other means (for example with the management plugin).
This command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to remove any tags from the user named
"janeway":
rabbitmqctl set_user_tags janeway
Access control
clear_permissions [-p vhost] username
vhost The name of the virtual host to which to deny the user access, defaulting to
"/".
username
The name of the user to deny access to the specified virtual host.
Sets user permissions.
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to deny the user named
"janeway" access to the virtual host called "my-vhost":
rabbitmqctl clear_permissions -p my-vhost janeway
clear_topic_permissions [-p vhost] username [exchange]
vhost The name of the virtual host to which to clear the topic permissions,
defaulting to "/".
username
The name of the user to clear topic permissions to the specified virtual
host.
exchange
The name of the topic exchange to clear topic permissions, defaulting to all
the topic exchanges the given user has topic permissions for.
Clear user topic permissions.
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to remove topic permissions
for user named "janeway" for the topic exchange "amq.topic" in the virtual host
called "my-vhost":
rabbitmqctl clear_topic_permissions -p my-vhost janeway amq.topic
list_permissions [-p vhost]
vhost The name of the virtual host for which to list the users that have been
granted access to it, and their permissions. Defaults to "/".
Lists permissions in a virtual host.
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to list all the users which
have been granted access to the virtual host called "my-vhost", and the permissions
they have for operations on resources in that virtual host. Note that an empty
string means no permissions granted:
rabbitmqctl list_permissions -p my-vhost
list_topic_permissions [-p vhost]
vhost The name of the virtual host for which to list the users topic permissions.
Defaults to "/".
Lists topic permissions in a virtual host.
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to list all the users which
have been granted topic permissions in the virtual host called "my-vhost:"
rabbitmqctl list_topic_permissions -p my-vhost
list_user_permissions username
username
The name of the user for which to list the permissions.
Lists user permissions.
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to list all the virtual
hosts to which the user named "janeway" has been granted access, and the permissions
the user has for operations on resources in these virtual hosts:
rabbitmqctl list_user_permissions janeway
list_user_topic_permissions username
username
The name of the user for which to list the topic permissions.
Lists user topic permissions.
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to list all the virtual
hosts to which the user named "janeway" has been granted access, and the topic
permissions the user has in these virtual hosts:
rabbitmqctl list_user_topic_permissions janeway
list_vhosts [vhostinfoitem ...]
Lists virtual hosts.
The vhostinfoitem parameter is used to indicate which virtual host information items
to include in the results. The column order in the results will match the order of
the parameters. vhostinfoitem can take any value from the list that follows:
name The name of the virtual host with non-ASCII characters escaped as in C.
tracing
Whether tracing is enabled for this virtual host.
default_queue_type
Default queue type for this vhost.
description
Virtual host description.
tags Virtual host tags.
cluster_state

If no vhostinfoitem are specified then the vhost name is displayed.
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to list all virtual hosts:
rabbitmqctl list_vhosts name tracing
set_permissions [-p vhost] user conf write read
vhost The name of the virtual host to which to grant the user access, defaulting
to "/".
user The name of the user to grant access to the specified virtual host.
conf A regular expression matching resource names for which the user is granted
configure permissions.
write A regular expression matching resource names for which the user is granted
write permissions.
read A regular expression matching resource names for which the user is granted
read permissions.
Sets user permissions.
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to grant the user named
"janeway" access to the virtual host called "my-vhost", with configure permissions
on all resources whose names starts with "janeway-", and write and read permissions
on all resources:
rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p my-vhost janeway "^janeway-.*" ".*" ".*"
set_permissions_globally username conf write read
username
The name of the user to grant access to the specified virtual host.
conf A regular expression matching resource names for which the user is granted
configure permissions.
write A regular expression matching resource names for which the user is granted
write permissions.
read A regular expression matching resource names for which the user is granted
read permissions.
Sets user permissions in all vhosts.
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to grant the user named
"janeway" access to all virtual hosts with configure permissions on all resources
whose names starts with "janeway-", and write and read permissions on all resources:
rabbitmqctl set_permissions_globally janeway "^janeway-.*" ".*" ".*"
set_topic_permissions [-p vhost] user exchange write read
vhost The name of the virtual host to which to grant the user access, defaulting
to "/".
user The name of the user the permissions apply to in the target virtual host.
exchange
The name of the topic exchange the authorisation check will be applied to.
write A regular expression matching the routing key of the published message.
read A regular expression matching the routing key of the consumed message.
Sets user topic permissions.
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to let the user named
"janeway" publish and consume messages going through the "amp.topic" exchange of the
"my-vhost" virtual host with a routing key starting with "janeway-":
rabbitmqctl set_topic_permissions -p my-vhost janeway amq.topic "^janeway-.*"
"^janeway-.*"
Topic permissions support variable expansion for the following variables: username,
vhost, and client_id. Note that client_id is expanded only when using MQTT. The
previous example could be made more generic by using "^{username}-.*":
rabbitmqctl set_topic_permissions -p my-vhost janeway amq.topic
"^{username}-.*" "^{username}-.*"
Monitoring, observability and health checks
environment
Displays the name and value of each variable in the application environment for each
running application.
list_bindings [-p vhost] [bindinginfoitem ...]
Returns binding details. By default the bindings for the "/" virtual host are
returned. The -p flag can be used to override this default.
The bindinginfoitem parameter is used to indicate which binding information items to
include in the results. The column order in the results will match the order of the
parameters. bindinginfoitem can take any value from the list that follows:
source_name
The name of the source of messages to which the binding is attached. With
non-ASCII characters escaped as in C.
source_kind
The kind of the source of messages to which the binding is attached.

If no bindinginfoitem are specified then all above items are displayed.
For example, this command displays the exchange name and queue name of the bindings
in the virtual host named "my-vhost"
rabbitmqctl list_bindings -p my-vhost exchange_name queue_name
list_channels [channelinfoitem ...]
Returns information on all current channels, the logical containers executing most
AMQP commands. This includes channels that are part of ordinary AMQP connections,
and channels created by various plug-ins and other extensions.
The channelinfoitem parameter is used to indicate which channel information items to
include in the results. The column order in the results will match the order of the
parameters. channelinfoitem can take any value from the list that follows:
pid Id of the Erlang process associated with the connection.
connection
Id of the Erlang process associated with the connection to which the channel
belongs.
name Readable name for the channel.
number The number of the channel, which uniquely identifies it within a connection.
user Username associated with the channel.
vhost Virtual host in which the channel operates.

If no channelinfoitem are specified then pid, user, consumer_count, and
messages_unacknowledged are assumed.
For example, this command displays the connection process and count of
unacknowledged messages for each channel:
rabbitmqctl list_channels connection messages_unacknowledged

connection:
rabbitmqctl list_connections send_pend port
list_consumers [-p vhost]
Lists consumers, i.e. subscriptions to a queue´s message stream. Each line printed
shows, separated by tab characters, the name of the queue subscribed to, the id of
the channel process via which the subscription was created and is managed, the
consumer tag which uniquely identifies the subscription within a channel, a boolean
indicating whether acknowledgements are expected for messages delivered to this
consumer, an integer indicating the prefetch limit (with 0 meaning "none"), and any
arguments for this consumer.
list_exchanges [-p vhost] [exchangeinfoitem ...]
Returns exchange details. Exchange details of the "/" virtual host are returned if
the -p flag is absent. The -p flag can be used to override this default.
The exchangeinfoitem parameter is used to indicate which exchange information items
to include in the results. The column order in the results will match the order of
the parameters. exchangeinfoitem can take any value from the list that follows:

flag is absent. The -p flag can be used to override this default.
Displayed queues can be filtered by their status or location using one of the
following mutually exclusive options:

List only those durable queues that are not currently available (more
specifically, their leader node isn't).
--online
List queues that are currently available (their leader node is).
--local
List only those queues whose leader replica is located on the current node.
The queueinfoitem parameter is used to indicate which queue information items to
include in the results. The column order in the results will match the order of the
parameters. queueinfoitem can take any value from the list that follows:
name The name of the queue with non-ASCII characters escaped as in C.
durable
Whether or not the queue survives server restarts.
auto_delete
Whether the queue will be deleted automatically when no longer used.

immediately deliver messages to consumers. This can be less than 1.0 if
consumers are limited by network congestion or prefetch count.
memory Bytes of memory allocated by the runtime for the queue, including stack,
heap and internal structures.
mirror_pids
If the queue is mirrored, this lists the IDs of the mirrors (follower
replicas). To learn more, see the RabbitMQ Mirroring guide:
https://www.rabbitmq.com/ha.html

message_count}" if the queue is synchronising.
Queues which are located on cluster nodes that are currently down will be
shown with a status of "down" (and most other queueinfoitem will be
unavailable).
type Queue type, one of: quorum, stream, classic.

authenticate with it
Example:
rabbitmqctl ping -n rabbit@hostname
report
Generate a server status report containing a concatenation of all server status
information for support purposes. The output should be redirected to a file when
accompanying a support request.
For example, this command creates a server report which may be attached to a support
request email:
rabbitmqctl report > server_report.txt
schema_info [--no-table-headers] [column ...]
Lists schema database tables and their properties
For example, this command lists the table names and their active replicas:
rabbitmqctl schema_info name active_replicas

Displays broker status information such as the running applications on the current
Erlang node, RabbitMQ and Erlang versions, OS name, memory and file descriptor
statistics. (See the cluster_status command to find out which nodes are clustered
and running.)
For example, this command displays information about the RabbitMQ broker:
rabbitmqctl status
Runtime Parameters and Policies
Certain features of RabbitMQ (such as the Federation plugin) are controlled by dynamic,
cluster-wide parameters. There are 2 kinds of parameters: parameters scoped to a virtual
host and global parameters. Each vhost-scoped parameter consists of a component name, a
name and a value. The component name and name are strings, and the value is a valid JSON
document. A global parameter consists of a name and value. The name is a string and the
value is an arbitrary Erlang data structure. Parameters can be set, cleared and listed. In
general you should refer to the documentation for the feature in question to see how to set
parameters.
Policies is a feature built on top of runtime parameters. Policies are used to control and
modify the behaviour of queues and exchanges on a cluster-wide basis. Policies apply within
a given vhost, and consist of a name, pattern, definition and an optional priority.
Policies can be set, cleared and listed.
clear_global_parameter name
Clears a global runtime parameter. This is similar to clear_parameter but the key-
value pair isn't tied to a virtual host.
name The name of the global runtime parameter being cleared.
For example, this command clears the global runtime parameter "mqtt_default_vhosts":
rabbitmqctl clear_global_parameter mqtt_default_vhosts
clear_parameter [-p vhost] component_name key
Clears a parameter.
component_name
The name of the component for which the parameter is being cleared.
name The name of the parameter being cleared.
For example, this command clears the parameter "node01" for the
"federation-upstream" component in the default virtual host:
rabbitmqctl clear_parameter federation-upstream node01
list_global_parameters
Lists all global runtime parameters. This is similar to list_parameters but the
global runtime parameters are not tied to any virtual host.
For example, this command lists all global parameters:
rabbitmqctl list_global_parameters
list_parameters [-p vhost]
Lists all parameters for a virtual host.
For example, this command lists all parameters in the default virtual host:
rabbitmqctl list_parameters
set_global_parameter name value
Sets a global runtime parameter. This is similar to set_parameter but the key-value
pair isn't tied to a virtual host.
name The name of the global runtime parameter being set.
value The value for the global runtime parameter, as a JSON document. In most
shells you are very likely to need to quote this.
For example, this command sets the global runtime parameter "mqtt_default_vhosts" to
the JSON document {"O=client,CN=guest":"/"}:
rabbitmqctl set_global_parameter mqtt_default_vhosts
'{"O=client,CN=guest":"/"}'
set_parameter [-p vhost] component_name name value
Sets a parameter.
component_name
The name of the component for which the parameter is being set.
name The name of the parameter being set.
value The value for the parameter, as a JSON document. In most shells you are
very likely to need to quote this.
For example, this command sets the parameter "node01" for the "federation-upstream"
component in the default virtual host to the following JSON "guest":
rabbitmqctl set_parameter federation-upstream node01
'{"uri":"amqp://user:password@server/%2F","ack-mode":"on-publish"}'
list_policies [-p vhost]
Lists all policies for a virtual host.
For example, this command lists all policies in the default virtual host:
rabbitmqctl list_policies
set_operator_policy [-p vhost] [--priority priority] [--apply-to apply-to] name pattern
definition
Sets an operator policy that overrides a subset of arguments in user policies.
Arguments are identical to those of set_policy.
Supported arguments are:
• expires
• message-ttl
• max-length
• max-length-bytes
set_policy [-p vhost] [--priority priority] [--apply-to apply-to] name pattern definition
Sets a policy.
name The name of the policy.
pattern
The regular expression, which when matches on a given resources causes the
policy to apply.
definition
The definition of the policy, as a JSON document. In most shells you are
very likely to need to quote this.
priority
The priority of the policy as an integer. Higher numbers indicate greater
precedence. The default is 0.
apply-to
Which types of object this policy should apply to. Possible values are:
• queues (all queue types, including streams)
• classic_queues (classic queues only)
• quorum_queues (quorum queues only)
• streams (streams only)
• exchanges
• all
The default is all ..
For example, this command sets the policy "federate-me" in the default virtual host
so that built-in exchanges are federated:
rabbitmqctl set_policy federate-me ^amq. '{"federation-upstream-set":"all"}'
clear_policy [-p vhost] name
Clears a policy.
name The name of the policy being cleared.
For example, this command clears the "federate-me" policy in the default virtual
host:
rabbitmqctl clear_policy federate-me
clear_operator_policy [-p vhost] name
Clears an operator policy. Arguments are identical to those of clear_policy.
list_operator_policies [-p vhost]
Lists operator policy overrides for a virtual host. Arguments are identical to
those of list_policies.
Virtual hosts

from any alternative authorisation backend will not be visible to rabbitmqctl.
add_vhost vhost [--description desc --tags tags --default-queue-type default-q-type]
vhost The name of the virtual host entry to create.
desc Arbitrary virtual host description, e.g. its purpose, for operator's
convenience.
tags A comma-separated list of virtual host tags for operator's convenient

called "test":
rabbitmqctl delete_vhost a-vhost
list_vhost_limits [-p vhost] [--global] [--no-table-headers]
Displays configured virtual host limits.
--global
Show limits for all vhosts. Suppresses the -p parameter.
restart_vhost [-p vhost]
vhost The name of the virtual host entry to restart, defaulting to "/".

For example, this command limits the max number of concurrent connections in vhost
"qa_env" to 64:
rabbitmqctl set_vhost_limits -p qa_env '{"max-connections": 64}'
This command limits the max number of queues in vhost "qa_env" to 256:
rabbitmqctl set_vhost_limits -p qa_env '{"max-queues": 256}'
This command clears the max number of connections limit in vhost "qa_env":
rabbitmqctl set_vhost_limits -p qa_env '{"max-connections": -1}'
This command disables client connections in vhost "qa_env":
rabbitmqctl set_vhost_limits -p qa_env '{"max-connections": 0}'
] username
