Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ

Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ now supports the Prometheus plugin on RabbitMQ 4.2 brokers, providing a native Prometheus-compatible metrics endpoint on your RabbitMQ brokers. You can scrape broker, queue, and connection metrics directly from your brokers using any Prometheus-compatible monitoring tool, giving you more flexibility in how you observe and alert on your messaging infrastructure.

The plugin exposes metrics through the /metrics, /metrics/detailed, and /metrics/memory-breakdown endpoints in Prometheus text format. Amazon MQ also publishes a curated subset of these Prometheus metrics to CloudWatch. With the Prometheus plugin, you can now integrate your brokers into existing Prometheus-based monitoring stacks including Grafana dashboards, Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, and self-hosted Prometheus servers.

What to do

  • Enable Prometheus plugin on your RabbitMQ 4.2 brokers.
  • Integrate with Prometheus-compatible monitoring tools.
  • Configure CloudWatch for Prometheus metrics.
