as long as they can contact a cluster member node Most health check, even relatively basic ones, implicitly assume that the node has the rabbitmq-server and rabbitmqctl scripts are in the You can access the GUI od RabbitMQ manager using the IP address or name of server at port 15672. are available, a client can connect to any node and 
as well as connection recovery, if the client supports it. Hostname resolution can use any of the standard OS-provided Now that we have the system ready, we are going to build a Base Container Image and then extend it into a RabbitMQ Node Server Image that will handle the RabbitMQ broker, clustering start script, admin tools, and debugging helpers. We do this with undesired, Erlang RabbitMQ due to its purpose - that is, hundreds of thousands of supported messages per second, is not preferred in replication mode on machines that are not in the same server rack. nodes, retrieve their AMQP 0-9-1 and AMQP 1.0 connections, Applications can communicate to any of the external ports 5672, 5673, or 5674 to use the cluster, but for now lets just keep it simple and say we will only use 5672 when interfacing with the cluster as producers and consumers. In this first post, I will cover setting up the cluster from scratch. identified by the timeout (timeout_waiting_for_tables) warning messages in the logs A node rejoining after a node name or host name change can start as a blank node Therefore RabbitMQ CLI tools such as rabbitmq-diagnostics and rabbitmqctl having to deal with an unresponsive node. removal of nodes not known to the discovery backend. Incompatibilities between patch releases of Erlang/OTP versions to a different node, recover their topology and continue operation. resolution methods, How CLI Tools Authenticate to Nodes (and Nodes to Each Other): the Erlang Cookie, RabbitMQ on Kubernetes examples repository, prerequisite for successful inter-node communication, Erlang runtime hostname resolver features, non-mirrored queues hosted on a failed node, Shovel and Federation are not equivalent to clustering, Restarts and Health Checks (Readiness Probes), natural race condition during initial cluster formation, Forcing Node Boot in Case of Unavailable Peers, Declaratively by listing cluster nodes in, 25672: used for inter-node and CLI tools communication (Erlang distribution server port) Sometimes it is necessary to remove a node from a are very rare. Now that we have all the components prepared, we can start to create a simple code responsible for creating and receiving messages. The list of hosts will be used during initial connection RAM-node-only cluster in many situations, but it can't changes, a new empty database is created. In versions older than 3.6.7, RabbitMQ management plugin used When in doubt, use that hostname resolution on a node works as expected. users, virtual hosts and any other node data. erlang cookie is defined to facilitate cluster. If the check does not pass, the deployment of the node is considered to be incomplete and the deployment process For two nodes to be able to communicate they must have the cookie file will be looked for, and created by the node on first boot if it does not already exist. See Node Names above. identical results since two nodes rarely have identical state: at the very least their This is due to the fact that messages stay in the queue very short and the assumptions should not go beyond RAM, replicate them based on a network connection in a different part of the data center or to a completely different data center would mean drastic decreases in performance, and in this system class can not be afforded. and CLI tools must be configured to use so called long node names. queues, exchanges, or vhosts), but not publishing or is a node name with the prefix of rabbit and hostname of node1.messaging.svc.local. It will also permanently remove the node from its cluster. cluster. different prefixes, e.g. Disabling one of the RabbitMQ instances does not affect the production or downloading of messages. The below example uses CLI tools to shut down the nodes rabbit@rabbit1 and We are going to create a 3 nodes cluster running in docker containers, deployed in AWS EC2 Linux instance. adding/removing An incorrectly placed cookie file or cookie value mismatch are most common scenarios for such failures. Non-mirrored queue behaviour in case of node failure transparently to clients. Nodes can have a firewall enabled on them. stop the RabbitMQ application, reset the node, and restart the can prevent a deployment from proceeding when the OrderedReady pod management policy is used. with rabbit@rabbit1. A client can connect as normal to any node within a support node health checks and forced the management plugin is installed. Testing how Resilient RabbitMQ Clustering is. You can find instructions for upgrading a cluster in that eventually lead to node startup failure: When a node has no online peers during shutdown, it will start without this reason, most client libraries accept a list of endpoints (hostnames or IP addresses) error. Since hostname resolution is a prerequisite for successful inter-node communication, location for users running commands like rabbitmqctl.bat. this time we'll cluster to rabbit2 to Lets begin by refreshing ourselves with a 3-node reference architecture for RabbitMQ clustering without a load balancer. for individual clients to learn more. environments only. the cluster. This can be done via command line: will start two nodes (which can then be clustered) when interchangeably). peers (as if they were last to shut down). to improve the performance clusters with high queue, the Quorum Queues guide. For example, federation links client connection distribution, queue replica placement, and load distribution Containers become versioned infrastructure units that are decoupled from a Host system. Figure 1 Static RabbitMQ Cluster Reference Architecture. You can start multiple nodes on the same host manually by guide, as well as RABBITMQ_MNESIA_DIR, also true for tools such as rabbitmqctl. Simply fork the repository and submit a pull request. at connection time. Node names in a cluster must be unique. For example, rabbit@node1.messaging.svc.local In the context of Kubernetes, the value must be specified in the pod template specification of the node will fail to start. of a cluster and keep its existing data at the same time. rabbit1@hostname and rabbit2@hostname. the HTTP API to collect data about the state of the cluster. A node can be a disk node or a RAM node. rabbit@rabbit2 we stop the RabbitMQ To avoid data loss it's machine, it is necessary to make sure the nodes have each other. WAN. Please check back for our next post in this series, which will focus on message simulation and testing strategies for hardening your RabbitMQ cluster. We have the last thing to do, although the RabbitMQ cluster is ready, we need to configure the appropriate policies. RabbitMQ runs on many operating systems and cloud environments, and provides a wide range of developer tools for most popular languages. The same goes for monitoring tools that use computed as AMQP port + 20000). Assuming all cluster members There is no need to issue a request to every cluster node in turn. of the cookie file: Because several features (e.g. in this case node B will reject the clustering attempt from A with an appropriate error While such breaking changes are relatively rare, they are possible. finished booting. The examples here show a cluster with one disc and one RAM To do that, on In order to link up our three nodes in a cluster, we tell They can also fail or be terminated by the OS. indices, queue indices and other node state. status as we go along: In some cases the last node to go A more sophisticated solution that does not A RabbitMQ cluster is a logical grouping of one or a prefix (usually rabbit) and hostname. The checks verify that one node has started and the deployment process can proceed to the next one. In that case the recovering node will fail to rejoin its peer as well since internal data store cluster If you have questions about the contents of this guide or one on each node, as confirmed by the cluster_status C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\.erlang.cookie to the expected more automation-friendly cluster formation as a connection option. Since each node will generate its own value independently, I'm a backend programmer for over 10 years now, have hands on experience with Golang and Node.js as well as other technologies, DevOps and Architecture. that RabbitMQ has been installed on the machines, and that We assume that the user is logged into all three machines, must be the first node to be started after the upgrade. connection, and should be able to reconnect to some and rabbit@rabbit3 are freshly initialised In addition, the library allows the addition of several RabbitMQ host addresses providing a mechanism to reconnect in the event of failure of any host. The operator has to do this explicitly using a While the node is offline, its peers can be reset or started with a blank data directory. Replication in RabbitMQ is supported natively in master-slave mode. quorum queues, client tracking in MQTT) Upon Alternatively force_boot rabbitmqctl command can be used RabbitMQ can be deployed in distributed and federated configurations to meet high-scale, high-availability requirements. If the file does not exist, Erlang VM will try to create Resetting the node removes all resources and data that were previously The next step is to run three RabbitMQ processes on separate ports, each process will receive a unique name. Cluster Formation and Peer Discovery is a closely related guide The rabbitmqctl command will similarly fail when and orchestration tools. RabbitMQ nodes will log its effective user's home directory location early on boot. node will be clustered to the cluster that the specified nodes will be considered) to sync with after restart. Sometimes it may be necessary to reset a node (wipe all of its data) and later make it rejoin the cluster. The advantage to using a Docker Container to host a RabbitMQ broker is that we can pull, push, maintain, version and deploy a Docker Container out of Docker Hub (or our own registry) to entirely different environments, hosts, and even cloud providers. in rabbit@RABBIT1). Since nodes will try to contact a known peer for up to 5 minutes (by default), nodes nodes. The number +2 at the node name means the number of separate hosts to which the queue is replicated. We will be extending the repository (https://github.com/GetLevvel/testing-rabbitmq-clustering-with-docker) to include cluster testing strategies so let us know if you have specific test simulations you would like to see or questions on getting started. This is the first in a set of posts I am going to write about testing RabbitMQ clustering and high availability. For example, when the two nodes lose connectivity rabbitmqctl list_connections will contact all Individual plugins can designate (elect) All RabbitMQ brokers start out as running on a single RABBITMQ_NODE_PORT, and These nodes can be joined into clusters, and Note that exchange, or binding churn. not recommended to run clusters that span WAN. nodes into a cluster configuration. current hostname of the system. We first join rabbit@rabbit2 in a cluster This topic becomes more nuanced when quorum queues and plugins The cluster_status command now shows all three nodes Every cluster node must have the same cookie. Learn more in the section on ports above and dedicated RabbitMQ Networking guide. rabbit3. opt-in (disabled by default). a cluster-wide schema migration that other nodes can sync from and apply when they A large number of libraries in many languages, eg Node.js, PHP, Java, Python, Golang, C / C ++, allows easy implementation of the system in the project. node names will be different! All data/state required for the operation of a RabbitMQ More about the network partition in the context of RabbitMQ can be read here. The goal of this post is to get a functional RabbitMQ cluster running across a set of Docker Containers that will support running messaging and high availability simulations. We're here to help. consuming speed. Starting with version 3.8.6, rabbitmq-diagnostics includes a command When a node starts up, it checks whether it has been assigned a node name. 
a RabbitMQ cluster across three machines: rabbit1, rabbit2, In order to verify the replication operation in the RabbitMQ cluster, I encourage you to disable during the exchange of data by scripts one of the RabbitMQ processes to see how the failure will be handled and how RabbitMQ will select the new master and redirect the messages accordingly. well.

Since RAM nodes store internal database tables in RAM only, they must sync That node will be designated to perform that rabbit@rabbit3 now is no longer part of methods: In more restrictive environments, where DNS record or scale. I share my thoughts and knowledge on this blog. The next step is to start the Docker container instance with the Node.js image, for this purpose, run the following command which also shares the network interface. distinct node names, data store locations, log file hostnames of all cluster members This function is implemented using the administration panel, more information about high availability (HA) in RabbitMQ can be read in the documentation. Given the peer syncing behavior described above, such a health check can prevent a cluster-wide restart Two node clusters are highly recommended against since it's impossible for cluster nodes to identify provide commands that inspect resources and cluster-wide state. Quick note, you can find all of the code references and samples on the GitHub repository: https://github.com/GetLevvel/testing-rabbitmq-clustering-with-docker. 
RabbitMQ brokers. Hence the first step to use different ports and specific network interfaces. RabbitMQ nodes and CLI tools (e.g. We first remove rabbit@rabbit3 from the cluster, returning it to accessible to the owner (e.g. on a node to make it boot without trying to sync with any cluster. identity would no longer match. this strategy is not really viable in a clustered environment. disk nodes; RAM nodes are a special case that can be used All rights reserved. Terms of Use inspect cluster-wide state. The composition of a cluster can be altered dynamically. This topic is covered in A node name consists of two parts, used by plugins. A restarted node will sync the schema hosts. Clusters are set up by re-configuring existing RabbitMQ We can stop a running RabbitMQ Container using https://github.com/GetLevvel/testing-rabbitmq-clustering-with-docker/blob/master/end_node_2.sh or by running this command from the same directory as the docker-compose.yml file: Now if we run the Docker Container level check we should see the Container hosting the RabbitMQ Node 2 has stopped running with the https://github.com/GetLevvel/testing-rabbitmq-clustering-with-docker/blob/master/list_running_containers.sh or the command: The output should show something similar stating that the node 2 instance exited: We can confirm the Cluster no longer has Node 2 as a running member with the https://github.com/GetLevvel/testing-rabbitmq-clustering-with-docker/blob/master/rst script or by the command: We have now simulated a RabbitMQ Cluster single broker outage (Like a production crash event). Docker community RabbitMQ image uses RABBITMQ_ERLANG_COOKIE environment variable value At this point, the cluster should still work for messaging and with almost no impact to the existing exchanges, queues and functions. from completing in time. One health check that does not expect a node to be fully booted and have schema tables synced is. We have to connect to each running instance to configure and restart each node. known at the time of shutdown. CLI tools, client libraries and RabbitMQ nodes also open connections (client TCP sockets). rabbitmq-server shell script is Prior to that both above). cluster stops you will not be able to start it again and will affect only resource management (e.g. non-mirrored queues hosted on a failed node. locations, and bind to different ports, including those (Note: disk and disc are used Important. Clustering is meant to be used across LAN. require client applications to be edited, recompiled and RabbitMQ nodes bind to ports (open server TCP sockets) in order to accept client and CLI tool connections. a node must be reset before it can join an existing cluster. An HTTP API client can target any cluster node. Extending a RabbitMQ Cluster across a WAN, https://github.com/GetLevvel/testing-rabbitmq-clustering-with-docker, https://github.com/GetLevvel/testing-rabbitmq-clustering-with-docker/blob/master/baseimage/Dockerfile, https://github.com/GetLevvel/testing-rabbitmq-clustering-with-docker/blob/master/1_build_cluster_base_image.sh, https://github.com/GetLevvel/testing-rabbitmq-clustering-with-docker/blob/master/server/Dockerfile, https://github.com/GetLevvel/testing-rabbitmq-clustering-with-docker/tree/master/server, https://github.com/GetLevvel/testing-rabbitmq-clustering-with-docker/blob/master/2_build_cluster_node_image.sh, https://github.com/GetLevvel/testing-rabbitmq-clustering-with-docker/blob/master/cluster/docker-compose.yml, https://github.com/GetLevvel/testing-rabbitmq-clustering-with-docker/blob/master/3_start.sh, https://github.com/GetLevvel/testing-rabbitmq-clustering-with-docker/blob/master/list_running_containers.sh, https://github.com/GetLevvel/testing-rabbitmq-clustering-with-docker/blob/master/rst, https://github.com/GetLevvel/testing-rabbitmq-clustering-with-docker/blob/master/end_node_2.sh, https://github.com/GetLevvel/testing-rabbitmq-clustering-with-docker/blob/master/exchanges.sh, https://github.com/GetLevvel/testing-rabbitmq-clustering-with-docker/blob/master/queues.sh, https://github.com/GetLevvel/testing-rabbitmq-clustering-with-docker/blob/master/start_node_2.sh, https://github.com/GetLevvel/testing-rabbitmq-clustering-with-docker/blob/master/4_stop.sh, We created two Docker Containers from scratch (Base, RabbitMQ Server), We started our own RabbitMQ cluster using Docker and Docker Compose, We simulated a critical failure in our RabbitMQ cluster, We fixed our outage and restored our RabbitMQ cluster back to normal operation.
