I've noticed that some apps send incorrect messages to a certain queue in RabbitMQ. Since lots of apps can access RabbitMQ in my environment, it's too difficult to identify the producers by reviewing codes.
Is there any way to find the producers? Do I need some monitoring tools?
Not without modifying the clients.
The AMQP protocol provides the app-id property exactly for that purpose. Message publishers should set the app-id when publishing messages to RabbitMQ so that consumers can infer the source of the message.

We are currently looking at ActiveMQ.
Previously we've used RabbitMQ and in particular Direct exchanges whereby a producer can send a single message to a broker which then fans this out onto 1:N other queues.
We would like a similar setup in ActiveMQ where the broker holds the configuration for which messages go where, rather than the services sending messages directly to specific queues or consumers needing to subscribe to specific topics.
I've dug into the documentation and found Virtual Topic Composite Destinations which looks to provide this functionality.
What I am trying to understand now is if this is the ActiveMQ recommended approach and if there are any pitfalls I should be wary of?
Any ActiveMQ war stories much appreciated!
I would like to use MassTransmit similar to NServiceBus, every publisher and subscriber has a local queue. However I want to use RabbitMQ.
So do all my desktop clients have to have RabbitMQ installed, I think so, then should I just connect the 50 desktop clients and 2 servers into a cluster?
I know the two servers must be in the same cluster. However 50 client nodes, seems a bi tmuch to put in one cluster.....Or should I shovel them or Federate them to the server cluster exchange?
The desktop machine send messages like: LockOrder, UnLock Order.
The Servers are dealing with backend hl7 messages.
Any help and advice here is much appreciated, this is all on windows machines.
Basically I am leaving NServiceBus behind, as it is now too expensive, they aiming it at large corporations with big budgets, hence Masstransmit.
However I want reliable/durable messaging, hence local queues on ALL publishers and ALL subscribers.
The desktops also use CQS to update their views.
should I just connect the 50 desktop clients and 2 servers into a cluster?
Yes, you have to connected your clients to the cluster.
However 50 client nodes, seems a bi tmuch to put in one cluster.
No, (or it depends how big are your servers) 50 clients is a small number
Or should I shovel them or Federate them to the server cluster exchange?
The desktop machine send messages like: LockOrder, UnLock Order.
I think it's better the cluster, because federation and shovel are asynchronous, it means that your LockOrder could be not replicated in time.
However I want reliable/durable messaging, hence local queues on ALL publishers and ALL subscribers
Withe RMQ you can create a persistent queue and messages, and it is not necessary if the client(s) is connected. It will get the messages when it will connect to the broker.
I hope it helps.
I have a FOSS ESB rpoject called Shuttle, if you would like to give it a spin: https://github.com/Shuttle/shuttle-esb
I haven't used NServiceBus for a while and actually started Shuttle when it went commercial. The implementation is somewhat different from NServiceBus. I don't know MassTransit at all, though. Currently process managers (sagas) have to be hand-rolled in Shuttle whereas MassTransit and NServiceBus have this incorporated. If I do get around to adding sagas I'll be adding them as a Module that can be plugged into the receiving pipeline. This way one could have various implementations and choose the flavour you like :)
Back to your issue. Shuttle has the concept of an optional outbox for queuing technologies like RabbitMQ. Shuttle does have a RabbitMQ implementation. I believe the outbox works somewhat like 'shovel' does. So the outbox would be local and sending messages would first go to the outbox. It would periodically try to send messages on to the recipients and, after a configurable number of attempts, send the message to an error queue. It can then be returned to the outbox for further attempts, or even moved directly to the recipient queue once it is up.

I've got a webservice that accepts messages that can be sent to a RabbitMQ cluster using whatever queue they define. This is so front-end devs can send messages via javascript.
I want to make the webservice more robust so that when we have network trouble, the webservice can still accept messages and then handle them when the network is back up. After some initial reading, it seems that the Shovel plugin should handle this nicely.
What I was thinking was to install a local instance of RabbitMQ on the webservice box with shovel turned on. I can then send all messages through the local RabbitMQ instance and have it push all messages to the cluster and deal with the network problems.
My problem is after looking at the documentation it seems that I have to configure every queue I want to forward to in the shovel config file. If that's the case I'm not sure this will work since we allow clients to define a queue through the webservice on the fly.
I would like to have the webservice take the messages, hand them off to the local rmq instance and have it pass the messages off to the cluster using the same queues/exachanges/etc.
Has anyone tried this or can explain how the shovel plugin works?
Have you considered sending messages to an exchange instead of a queue. Send all messages to one exchange possibly a topic exchange if you need that kind of flexibility. Then have the consumer handle the different messages or different queues from the exchange. Sending to one exchange would make configuring the shovel considerably easier.
I'm currently in the middle of developing a webapplication which needs a websocket connection to receive notifications of events from the server.
The clients are separated in groups and all the clients in a group must receive the same event notifications.
I thought that ActiveMQ could probably support this model, using different queues for each group of clients. It would also be relatively easy to push events to ActiveMQ using stomp, and then use stomp-over-websockets for the clients.
The problem I see is that messages should not be consumed by only one client, but distributed to all the clients connected to the queue.
Also the queue should not be stored. If a client is not connected when the event is generated, then it will never receive it.
I don't know ActiveMQ that much, so I'm not sure if this is possible or if there is another easy solution that could be used instead of writing my own message server.
Thanks
ActiveMQ 5.4.1 supports WebSockets natively (just like Stomp, JMS, etc.).
There is the concept of queues (you mentioned these), but also of topics.
In a queue, a single message will be received by exactly one consumer, in a topic
it goes to all the subscribers. See: http://activemq.apache.org/how-does-a-queue-compare-to-a-topic.html
There are some Stomp-WebSocket JS libraries floating around. Kaazing has a bundle that includes ActiveMQ and supports JMS API/Stomp protocol over WebSockets with support for older browsers, different client technologies, and Cross-Site security.
Look at Pusher, otherwise you'll need something that supports topic based pub/sub. You could look at Redis or RabbitMQ
We are using MSMQ right now with WCF activation feature, it enables us not to pull queue to read messages. It like push message to application.
As we are looking at porting from MSMQ to RabbitMQ going through what we need from message queue.
I can't anything regarding RabbitMQ .net client support for receiving message notification from subscribed queue?
Is there anything in RabbitMQ with .net which can do push notification to subscriber like MSMQ?
Or we need service running which constantly checks for message?
In AMQP (and RabbitMQ), there are two ways to retrieve messages: basic.get and basic.consume.
Basic.get is used to poll the server for a message. If one exists, it is returned to the client. If not, a get-empty is returned (the .NET method returns null).
Basic.consume sets the consumer for the queue. The broker pushes messages to the consumer as they arrive. You can either derive DefaultBasicConsumer, which gives you your own custom consumer, or you can use the Subscription Message Pattern, which gives you a blocking nextDelivery().
For more information, check out the API guide linked above and the .NET Client Userguide. Also, a great place to ask RabbitMQ-related questions is the rabbitmq-discuss mailing list.
I think you are after something like the EventingBasicConsumer. See also this question/answer
That is a feature provided by WAS (Windows Activation Service). Right now WAS has listener adapters for net.pipe, net.msmq and net.tcp (and its port sharing service). I guess you would need a specific AMQP listener adapter.
