Configure consumer_timeout for RabbitMQ

3

Hello,

Do you know if there is a way to configure the consumer_timeout (delivery acknowledgment) parameter of RabbitMQ in AmazonMQ?
https://www.rabbitmq.com/consumers.html#acknowledgement-timeout
Our instances got automatically upgraded and we now have timeout errors for our tasks with long ETAs.

Thank you very much for your help!

Amazon MQ now supports the ability for customers to create and apply configurations to their RabbitMQ broker on Amazon MQ. This feature allows you to define the RabbitMQ delivery acknowledgement timeout (consumer_timeout) value and enable operator policies using the RabbitMQ configuration format (Cuttlefish).

Hi there,

Kindly note that we currently support the configuration of the consumer_timeout on Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ brokers. You may open a support case to Amazon MQ support and request for your broker to be configured with the desired consumer_timeout.

Update 2023

Customers can now perform the configuration themselves. Please refer to the following:

  • @Ethan, any update on when this will be possible though the AWS API?

  • Any update on when the end user will be able to manage this setting?

Please note this is supported by opening a support case and sending a ticket to our team. In future we plan to add self-configuration.

  • Do you have any estimate of when the rabbitmq.conf configuration will be available?

    We are getting "Broken pipe" messages and we are planning to configure heartbeat at server level, in any case, how can we see the default configuration of RabbitMQ in AWS?

Thank you for your reponse.

The ability to tweak this parameter will be indeed great. We're going to rollback to 3.8.11 however we have to spin up a new instance and will lose our current queues, which is less than ideal.

Hello,
We have recently moved to AmazonMQ and after moving we found the same issue of our jobs timing out. Is there an ETA on this feature?

Thanks.

Hello, my team finds itself with the same issue, we are looking forward to start amazonMQ but we need to be able to set those values to our needs, ETA for making those available for user change? Also, when having AWS basic accounts how do we ask for those values to be change and how long might that take?

Hi, same thing here. Any updates on the work to have the capability to change rabbitmq.conf, or maybe at least consumer_timeout? Thank you.

Hi @Trevor Requesting this change through a Support Ticket doesn’t make sense... What if I have the Basic Plan and can't open Support Tickets? Thanks.
