[RFE][OpsTools] We need a check for growing rabbitMQ queues
Last modified: 2017-08-01 21:55:37 EDT
Description of problem: We need to provide an alert when RabbitMQ queues are growing in our availability monitoring solution. Use case: As an operator, if the number of messages in my rabbitMQ queue keeps on growing, that's a clear indication that something is going wrong in my setup and I need to be notified of it Satisfaction criteria: - a check is implemented - checks are deployed for each Rabbit queues - alert are sent when queues are growing
A script to put rabbit queue lengths into collect: INTERVAL="${COLLECTD_INTERVAL:-10}" while sleep $INTERVAL; do sudo rabbitmqctl list_queues | awk '{ s+=+$2} END {print "PUTVAL rabbitmq/queues " s}' done
