Collecting metrics using RabbitMQ monitoring tools

RabbitMQ provides several built-in monitoring tools and plugins to help users collect metrics about their messaging setup. These include the CLI tool rabbitmqctl, which provides a quick snapshot of key metrics; the management plugin, which extends the host node with a web server that reports metrics via UI and API; and the Prometheus plugin, which enables data collection in the OpenMetrics format. RabbitMQ also offers plugins for tracing events and messages within the system, such as the event exchange, firehose, and rabbitmq_tracing tool. By leveraging these tools, users can gain valuable insights into the performance of their RabbitMQ applications and identify potential bottlenecks or issues.
