RabbitMQ Queue metrics

[Ric (Eric)]

Hi,
New to ELK, I'm trying to setup RabbitMQ module of MetricBeat.
Succeed in the "node" metricsets part: works well.

In the doc MetricBeat RabbitMQ Module, there is a second metricsets documented : "queue".

Looks like it is quite new (in the 6.0.0 release notes).
But when I activate it in the module config file, this metricset is "unknown":

2017/12/06 13:19:15.603884 beat.go:625: CRIT Exiting: 1 error: 1 error: metricset 'rabbitmq/queues' is not registered, metricset not found
Exiting: 1 error: 1 error: metricset 'rabbitmq/queues' is not registered, metricset not found

Note that I'm using a Windows 64bits configuration.
Any idea ?

Thanks

I assume you use queues instead of queue in your config? Can you share your config?

Hi Ruflin, thanks for your answer

Concerning the queues and queue: I have tried both.

Here is the configuration I used (with queue instead of queues):

#------------------------------ RabbitMQ Module ------------------------------
- module: rabbitmq
  metricsets: ["node", "queue"] 
  period: 10s
  hosts: ["localhost:15672"]

  username: Monitoring
  password: Monitoring

The node part is working great, but if I activate the queue, I have the error:
beat.go:625: CRIT Exiting: 1 error: 1 error: metricset 'rabbitmq/queue' is not registered, metricset not found
Exiting: 1 error: 1 error: metricset 'rabbitmq/queue' is not registered, metricset not found

@Ric

In the doc MetricBeat RabbitMQ Module, there is a second metricsets documented : "queue".

Just checked today and ... the 'queue' metricset is well documented, but in the 'master' and '6.1' documentation, not (or no more ?) in the 6.0.
I assume then that it is not part of the 6.0 release but in the 6.1
Planned release date ?

Hi Eric

Completely forgot that we only added that for 6.1. 6.1 is almost around the corner, but we don't communicate exact dates.

Thanks a lot for the clarification !
