RabbitMQ Mixin

The RabbitMQ Mixin is a set of configurable, reusable, and extensible alerts and dashboards based on the default metrics exported by RabbitMQ's prometheus monitoring plugin, shipped natively as of version 3.8.0. The mixin creates alerting rules for Prometheus and suitable dashboard descriptions for Grafana. For more information on the plugin please refer to Monitoring with Prometheus & Grafana.

The dashboards were based on those available at RabbitMQ's Grafana organization profile. See RabbitMQ Organization.

The alerts were based on those published at https://awesome-prometheus-alerts.grep.to/rules#rabbitmq.

To use them, you need to have mixtool and jsonnetfmt installed. If you have a working Go development environment, it's easiest to run the following:

$ go get github.com/monitoring-mixins/mixtool/cmd/mixtool
$ go get github.com/google/go-jsonnet/cmd/jsonnetfmt

You can then build the Prometheus rules file alerts.yaml and a directory dashboard_out with the JSON dashboard files for Grafana:

$ make build
