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](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/master/metricbeat-module-rabbitmq.html), 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

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.
