HI! Im new here. Please dont get mad. 🙂 I would like to know how to set an interval, that fires Logstash to check the RabbitMQ (rmq) for new messages? I was studying the [manual](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-rabbitmq.html#plugins-inputs-rabbitmq-arguments) to find out which argument would do so, as a _stat\_interval_ does for **file** input plugin. But didn't find. Or the description there doesnt match my search conditions. Or is there another way of communication between Logstash and rmq, for example event-based where rmq just pushes to Logstash new messages? Thanks. ---
