Configure heartbeat for RabbitMQ

0

I am searching for a way to configure the RabbitMQ (server) heartbeat value (as defined in RabbitMQ official site . I'm aware of the relatively new feature in AWS for RabbitMQ where I can define my own configuration ( AWS developer guide ) But I can't find a way to specifically define the heartbeat. I tried simply adding the following line to the configuration file: heartbeat = 300 But when I save a new revision of the configuration file the line is removed and I get a message saying heartbeat isn't supported. I'm trying to figure out if there's really no support for modifying the heartbeat or am I just missing something in the way I'm defining it. If it's possible to open a ticket to AWS and let them do it then please let me know.

What you experienced is in fact expected, and our current RabbitMQ broker does not support modification of heartbeat value from the customer side (only consumer timeout). However, our MQ service team can help to modify the heartbeat value if you request with a specific number and provide the use case for justification. The default heartbeat value is 60 seconds. Hence, kindly raise a case to modify the heartbeat value for your RabbitMQ broker.

    Thank you, I'll consider raising a case. Do you know if this is something that is expected to be supported through the configuration file at some point soon?

Hello,

You can specify the heartbeat value at your end by changing the configuration file named "rabbitmq.conf".

[+]. https://www.rabbitmq.com/configure.html#configuration-files

As you have mentioned, you can specify the value of heartbeat in the conifg file as heartbeat = 60. However, kindly confirm if your config file is in new file format or old format.

[+]. https://www.rabbitmq.com/configure.html#config-file-formats

Please find the below example Configuration File:

[+]. https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/blob/main/deps/rabbit/docs/rabbitmq.conf.example

If you still observe the issue, you can raise a case to AWS support team and they will configure the heartbeat value for your Rabbit MQ broker.

Thanks

    Your answer makes me think I'm probably missing something. My RabbitMQ is managed by AWS. As far as I can tell, I don't have direct access to the "rabbitmq.conf" file you mentioned. I must work through the configuration section that is exposed through AWS which I tried but failed (got an error that the heartbeat value added is unsupported). If I was managing my own RabbitMQ instance then this question was trivial. Even if I were to use a managed service such as "cloudamqp" then it was possible. But I can't find a way to do it through AWS management console / CLI. If I can somehow access my "rabbitmq.conf' of a managed AWS rabbitMMQ then please elaborate the steps on how to do so. Thanks
