I'm working with a product suite which uses RabbitMQ as a back end for service bus messaging. Many of the clients use software (NeuronESB) which is supposed to automatically configure exchanges, queues and channels as needed. Somewhere in the system exchanges in Rabbit are being deleted and not re-created, resulting in unexpected issues. Because of the size of the system and closed source nature of at least one of the service bus clients, an audit of code has been unsuccessful in determining the source of the deletion of these exchanges.
I have tried using the firehose functionality of Rabbit, but that only provides the messages being sent through Rabbit, not the internal activities I need.
What methods are available for logging the creation and deletion of exchanges in RabbitMQ? Ideally I would like to know the date, time and client IP of the deleter, but even just getting the date and time would allow me to narrow my search of logs to help find the offender.
Try Events Exchange plugin that should do the trick.
If not working for some reason, the last resort I can think of:
Get a test environment with less clients/messages if you app is busy, then analyse your traffic with wireshark (it can understand amqp) to filter out requests to delete exchange.
