RabbitMQ shortcuts

Posted on 11-Sep-2017

Create RabbitMQ User

rabbitmqctl add_user admin admin
rabbitmqctl set_user_tags admin administrator
rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p / admin ".*" ".*" ".*"

Test using

curl -i -u admin:admin http://localhost:15672/api/whoami

Reset RabbitMQ

First, list your queues:

rabbitmqadmin list queues name

Then from the list, you'll need to manually delete them one by one:

rabbitmqadmin delete queue name='queuename'

Because of the output format, doesn't appear you can grep the response from list queues. Alternatively, if you're just looking for a way to clear everything (read: reset all settings, returning the installation to a default state), use:

rabbitmqctl stop_app
rabbitmqctl reset    # Be sure you really want to do this!
rabbitmqctl start_app
