Collect metrics from your RabbitMQ nodes
groundcover supports metrics collection from your RabbitMQ instances, to allow you to visualize your instances performance and set up monitors.
Configuration is only enabled for Admins at this point
groundcover uses the prometheus exporter plugin of RabbitMQ to scrape the metrics. Before setting up the integration on groundcover side, you need to enable the rabbitMQ prometheus plugin on all nodes. To do so, follow this guide - https://www.rabbitmq.com/docs/prometheus#enable-rabbitmq_prometheus
Navigate to Data Sources and select RabbitMQ.
Provide the following parameters of your RabbitMQ instances to scrape metrics from:
Scheme - http or https
1 or more endpoints - these are the addresses of your RabbitMQ instances.
Path
Authentication method
On top of the targets configuration, you can also provide the following parameters:
Drop/Keep metrics (optional) - list of regexes of metrics to drop or keep.
Drop metrics - drop all metrics that match any of the regular expressions.
Keep metrics - drop all metrics that don't match any of the regular expressions.
Additional relabeling (optional) - prometheus can support a vast set of relabeling rules. Use this code block to apply any additional relabeling rules. Use the relabeling cookbook to explore and configure the right releabeling rules for you.
Extra labels (optional) - a list of key-value pairs to be added to all scraped metrics from this configuration, such as env=production. Use the extra labels to easily filter metrics in dashboards or monitors.
Scrape interval and scrape timeout - control the cadence of scraping.
All metrics in the platform can be found in the metrics exploration page: https://app.groundcover.com/explore/data-explorer
For the full list of metrics groundcover collects from RabbitMQ, each with its description, unit, type, and the labels you can slice by, see RabbitMQ Metrics.
