NAME
/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf - default settings for RabbitMQ AMQP server
DESCRIPTION
/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf contains variable settings that override
the defaults built in to the RabbitMQ startup scripts.
The file is interpreted by the system shell, and so should consist of a
sequence of shell environment variable definitions. Normal shell syntax
is permitted (since the file is sourced using the shell "." operator),
including line comments starting with "#".
In order of preference, the startup scripts get their values from the
environment, from /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf and finally from the
built-in default values. For example, for the RABBITMQ_NODENAME
setting,
- RABBITMQ_NODENAME
- from the environment is checked first. If it is absent or equal to the empty string, then
- NODENAME
- from /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf is checked. If it is also absent
or set equal to the empty string then the default value from
the startup script is used. - The variable names in /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf are always equal to
the environment variable names, with the RABBITMQ_ prefix removed: RABBITMQ_NODE_PORT from the environment becomes NODE_PORT in the /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf file, etc.
EXAMPLES
- The following is an example of a complete /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf
file that overrides the default Erlang node name from "rabbit" to
"hare": - # I am a complete /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf file.
# Comment lines start with a hash character.
# This is a /bin/sh script file - use ordinary envt var syntax
NODENAME=hare
