NAME
rabbitmqctl - command line tool for managing a RabbitMQ
broker
SYNOPSIS
rabbitmqctl [-n node] [-q] {command} [command options...]
DESCRIPTION
RabbitMQ is an implementation of AMQP, the emerging standard
for high performance enterprise messaging. The RabbitMQ
server is a robust and scalable implementation of an AMQP
broker.
rabbitmqctl is a command line tool for managing a RabbitMQ
broker. It performs all actions by connecting to one of the
broker's nodes.
Diagnostic information is displayed if the broker was not
running, could not be reached, or rejected the connection
due to mismatching Erlang cookies.
OPTIONS
[-n node]
Default node is "rabbit@server", where server is the
local host. On a host named "server.example.com", the
node name of the RabbitMQ Erlang node will usually be
rabbit@server (unless RABBITMQ_NODENAME has been set to
some non-default value at broker startup time). The
output of hostname -s is usually the correct suffix to
use after the "@" sign. See rabbitmq-server(1) for
details of configuring the RabbitMQ broker.
[-q]
Quiet output mode is selected with the "-q" flag.
Informational messages are suppressed when quiet mode is
in effect.
COMMANDS
Application and Cluster Management
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[1].
If a pid_file is specified, also waits for the process
specified there to terminate. See the description of the
wait command below for details on this file.
stop_app
Stops the RabbitMQ application, leaving the Erlang node
running.
RabbitMQ Server Last change: 05/10/2013 1
RabbitMQ Service RABBITMQCTL(1)
This command is typically run prior to performing other
management actions that require the RabbitMQ application
to be stopped, e.g. reset.
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.
wait {pid_file}
Wait 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, then for a process with a pid specified in the
pid file to start, and then for the RabbitMQ application
to start in that process. It will fail if the process
terminates without starting the RabbitMQ application.
A suitable pid file is created by the rabbitmq-server
script. By default this is located in the Mnesia
directory. Modify the RABBITMQ_PID_FILE environment
variable to change the location.
reset
Return 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.
force_reset
Forcefully return 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.
rotate_logs {suffix}
Instruct the RabbitMQ node to rotate the log files.
RabbitMQ Server Last change: 05/10/2013 2
RabbitMQ Service RABBITMQCTL(1)
The RabbitMQ broker appends the contents of its log
files to files with names composed of the original name
and the suffix, and then resumes logging to freshly
created files at the original location. I.e. effectively
the current log contents are moved to the end of the
suffixed files.
When the target files do not exist they are created.
When no suffix is specified, the empty log files are
simply created at the original location; no rotation
takes place.
Cluster management
join_cluster {clusternode} [--ram]
clusternode
Node to cluster with.
[--ram]
If provided, the node will join the cluster as a RAM
node.
Instruct 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 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.

RabbitMQ Service RABBITMQCTL(1)
For more details see the clustering guide[2].
cluster_status
Displays all the nodes in the cluster grouped by node
type, together with the currently running nodes.
change_cluster_node_type {disc | ram}
Changes the type of the cluster node. 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.
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.
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 waking 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
the situation in which node A and B are clustered. A
goes down, C clusters with B, and then B leaves the
cluster. When A wakes up, it'll try to contact B, but
this will fail since B is not in the cluster anymore.
update_cluster_nodes -n A C will solve this situation.
sync_queue {queue}
queue
The name of the queue to synchronise.
Instructs a mirrored queue with unsynchronised slaves to
RabbitMQ Server Last change: 05/10/2013 4
RabbitMQ Service RABBITMQCTL(1)
synchronise itself. The queue will block while
synchronisation takes place (all publishers to and
consumers from the queue will block). The queue must be
mirrored for this command to succeed.
Note that unsynchronised queues from which messages are
being drained will become synchronised eventually. This
command is primarily useful for queues which are not
being drained.
cancel_sync_queue {queue}
queue
The name of the queue to cancel synchronisation for.
Instructs a synchronising mirrored queue to stop
synchronising itself.
User management
Note that rabbitmqctl manages the RabbitMQ internal user
database. Users from any alternative authentication backend
will not be visible to 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.

Parameter Management
Certain features of RabbitMQ (such as the federation plugin)
are controlled by dynamic, cluster-wide parameters. Each
parameter consists of a component name, a name and a value,
and is associated with a virtual host. The component name
and name are strings, and the value is an Erlang term.
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.

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 term. In most
shells you are very likely to need to quote this.
clear_parameter [-p vhostpath] {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.
list_parameters [-p vhostpath]

Policy Management
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.
set_policy [-p vhostpath] {name} {pattern} {definition}

given resources causes the policy to apply.
definition
The definition of the policy, as a JSON term. In
most shells you are very likely to need to quote
this.

name
The name of the policy being cleared.
list_policies [-p vhostpath]
Lists all policies for a virtual host.
Server Status
The server status queries interrogate the server and return
a list of results with tab-delimited columns. Some queries
(list_queues, list_exchanges, list_bindings, and
list_consumers) accept an optional vhost parameter. This
parameter, if present, must be specified immediately after
the query.
The list_queues, list_exchanges and list_bindings commands
accept an optional virtual host parameter for which to
display results. The default value is "/".
list_queues [-p vhostpath] [queueinfoitem ...]
Returns queue details. Queue details of the / virtual
host are returned if the "-p" flag is absent. The "-p"
flag can be used to override this default.
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:

messages_ready and active_consumers must always be
zero.
RabbitMQ Server Last change: 05/10/2013 10
