Hi.
I configured rabbitmq with option:
management.path\_prefix = /rabbit
I would like to collect metrics with rabbitmq module, but it allows me configure endpoint and user/password only. Is it possible to made a new option for path\_prefix?
Thank you.

Can you try to specify the path as part of the host? Haven't tried but I think it should work.

@ruflin, i tried that, but no luck.
I think there is a parser in module code

Can you share your Metricbeat and rabbitmq config?

Sure.

cluster_formation.node_cleanup.only_log_warning = false
cluster_partition_handling = autoheal

## The default "guest" user is only permitted to access the server
## via a loopback interface (e.g. localhost)
loopback_users.guest = false
## Memory-based Flow Control threshold

```
/etc/metricbeat/modules.d/rabbitmq.yaml:

Thanks for the details. Metricbeat should generate an error event which is sent to ES and potentially also log an error. Could you share both, most importantly the error event sent to ES?

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for. I'm not too faimiliar with rabbitmq but the 406 seems more like it would come from the queue then the management interface.
I think I now understand the issue. The path overwrites the full path and not only prefixes it. To confirm that, could you try the following?
```auto
- module: rabbitmq
metricsets: ["node"]
period: 10s
hosts: ["10.233.53.218:15672/rabbit/api/nodes"]
username: rabbitmetricbeat
password: strongpass
```
Check if you get node stats with this? If not, can you try to access this url with curl?
If you get the data we will need a feature request on github with the path prefix you suggested initially.

Good day, @ruflin
I'm sorry for such a delay. I've changed config - and now it works! ES now recieving data and i can see it in Kibana.
Should i configure metricset: queue as separate module? If i understand your config correctly only difference will be the URL for queues metrics.
Thank you.
Update:
I've updated config with this:
```
- module: rabbitmq
metricsets: ["queue"]
period: 10s
hosts: ["10.233.53.218:15672/rabbit/api/queues"]
username: rabbitmetricbeat
password: strongpass
```
ES successfully recieving metrics, but there is error in metricbeat logs:
```
2018-04-16T08:27:10.043Z ERROR schema/schema.go:41 Error on field 'count': Missing field: count, Error: Key disk_writes not found
2018-04-16T08:27:10.043Z ERROR schema/schema.go:41 Error on field 'count': Missing field: count, Error: Key disk_reads not found

Glad do hear it works. Yes as a workaround you can configure each as a module for now. But we should also have a config option for the path. Can you open an issue for it on Github? [https://github.com/elastic/beats](https://github.com/elastic/beats)
For the other 2 errors: Please also open a separate issue on Github. Make sure to specify the exact version of Metricbeat and RabbitMQ you use + your RabbitMQ config. It seems the disk\_\* fields are for whatever reason not available in your endpoint and should be marked as optional on our end.
