RabbitMQ on Linux RHEL internal memory path mapping to another location

I have setup RabbitMQ on RHEL server. However, I want to know where it internally stores the queue data. I need it to be mapped to a storage that is reliable and has enough space to handle the load.

Solution

  • I assume you're referring to the internal database for persistent messages. RabbitMQ stores messages in memory by default.

    The location of the persistent data store is the RABBITMQ_MNESIA_DIR. Specifically, that is located by default in $RABBITMQ_HOME/var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia/$RABBITMQ_NODENAME.

    See this page for additional details.
