Is there any way to list queues in rabbitmq via pika?

I know that we can do this to list queue in a rabbitmq:

rabbitmqctl list_queues

but how can I do this via pika?

Solution

  • No.

    Pika is an AMQP library.

    If you want to manage an MQ Broker, then you need an MQ Broker management tool. Fortunately, RabbitMQ comes with such a tool if you install a recent version of RabbitMQ such as 2.7.1 and you install the RabbitMQ management plugins. That gives you a web GUI as well as a RESTful API that you can use in your scripts.

    But it's all outside of the scope of AMQP itself.
