RabbitMQ configuration file

RabbitMQ is an open source messaging middleware that provides a reliable messaging mechanism to enable reliable communication between different applications. Configuration files play an important role when using RabbitMQ, which define the behavior and properties of the RabbitMQ server. In this article, we will introduce the RabbitMQ configuration file in detail and provide corresponding source code examples.

The default location of RabbitMQ configuration files is /etc/[rabbitmq](/search?q=rabbitmq)/rabbitmq.conf. If you need to customize the location of the configuration file, you can use -configparameters to specify it, for example: rabbitmq-server -config /path/to/my/rabbitmq.conf.

Here is an example of a basic RabbitMQ configuration file:

 
    # RabbitMQ Configuration File
    
    # Set the node name of the RabbitMQ server
    node.name = rabbit@localhost
    
    # Set the listening address and port of the RabbitMQ server
    listeners.tcp.default = 5672
    
    # Set the path to the RabbitMQ server's log file
    log.file.path = /var/log/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.log
    
    # Set the authentication method for the RabbitMQ server
    auth_mechanisms.1 = PLAIN
    auth_mechanisms.2 = AMQPLAIN
    
    # Set the virtual host of the RabbitMQ server
    default_vhost = /
    
    # Set the administrator account for the RabbitMQ server
    default_user = admin
    default_pass = password
    
    # Set the memory usage limit of the RabbitMQ server
    vm_memory_high_watermark.relative = 0.4
    
    # Set the cluster configuration of the RabbitMQ server
    cluster_pa
