It would be great to also have the incoming/outgoing message rates fields collected by metricbeat for both queues and exchanges.
This way, I could monitor whether someone is still sending data over my RMQ instance

It sounds like a good addition to Metricbeat.
Please [create an Enhancement Request](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/new) in the Beats repository. If you feel brave enough, a community contribution would be awesome 🙂

Done, thanks. I will have a look at the existing code. I'm not a go developer so I can't promise anything
