Monitor RabbitMQ in Kubernetes

RabbitMQ running in Kubernetes can be monitored in SnappyFlow using:

MySQL monitoring with sfKubeAgent​

In this approach, sfKubeAgent is run as a side-car inside RabbitMQ pod. The example below shows the config-map for sfKubeAgent container, config-map for RabbitMQ container and pod yaml.

ConfigMap for RabbitMQ sfKubeAgent:​

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: rabbitmq-sfagent-config
data:
  config.yaml: |-
    key: "<profile key>"
    metrics:
      plugins:
        - name: rabbitmq
          enabled: true
          interval: 60
          config:
            documentsTypes:
              - clusterDetails
              - nodeStats
              - connectionStats
              - channelStats
              - exchangeStats
              - queueStats
              - consumerStats
            host: localhost
            password: <password>
            secure: false
            port: 15672
            username: <username>
    agent:
      loglevel: debug

RabbitMQ YAML(Statefulset)​

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: StatefulSet
metadata:
 name: rabbitmqcluster
spec:
 replicas: 3
 serviceName: rabbitmqcluster-headless
 template:
   spec:
     containers:
     - command:
       - /app/sfagent
       - -config-file
       - /opt/sfagent/config.yaml
       - -enable-console-log
       env:
       - name: APP_NAME
         value: rabbitmq
       - name: PROJECT_NAME
         value: rabbitmq-kube
       image: snappyflowml/sfagent:latest
       imagePullPolicy: Always
       name: rabbitmq-sfagent
       resources:
         limits:
           cpu: 500m
           memory: 500Mi
         requests:
           cpu: 100m
           memory: 128Mi
       terminationMessagePath: /dev/termination-log
       terminationMessagePolicy: File
       volumeMounts:
       - mountPath: /opt/sfagent/config.yaml
         name: sfagent
         subPath: config.yaml
     securityContext:
       fsGroup: 1001
     volumes:
     - configMap:
         defaultMode: 420
         name: rabbitmq-sfagent-config
       name: sfagent
