RabbitMQ

Setup

For versions 3.8.0+

Refer to the instructions to enable the rabbitmq_prometheus plugin. Once the plugin is enabled, the metrics will be available on port 15692 at the /metrics endpoint.

For versions < 3.8.0

We recommend the rabbitmq exporter that's also available as a Prometheus community helm chart.
