  # instead of specify --tls-cert-file=CERTFILE --tls-key-file=KEYFILE --tls-ca-file=CAFILE

Basic commands

Rabtap understands the following commands:

• tap - taps to an exchange and transparently receives messages sent to the exchange, without affecting actual message delivery (using exchange-to-exchange binding). Simulatanous
• sub - subscribes to a queue and consumes messages sent to the queue (acts like a RabbitMQ consumer)
• pub - publish messages to an exchange, optionally with the timing as recorded.
• info - show broker related info (exchanges, queues, bindings, stats). The features of an exchange are displayed in square brackets with D (durable), AD (auto delete) and I (internal). The features of a queue are displayed in square brackets with D (durable), AD (auto delete) and EX (exclusive). If --statistics option is enabled, basic statistics are included in the output. The --filter option allows to filter output. See filtering section for details. Use the --by-connection to sort output by connection (implies --consumers)
• queue - create/bind/unbind/remove/purge queue
• exchange - create/remove exchange
• connection - close connections

See the examples section for further information.

Broker URI specification

The specification of the RabbitMQ broker URI follows the AMQP URI specification as implemented by the go RabbitMQ client library.

Examples:

• amqp://guest:[email protected]:5672/
• amqps://guest:[email protected]:5671/
• amqps://guest:[email protected]:5671/vhost

Note that according to RFC3986 it might be necessary to escape certain characters like e.g. ? (%3F) or # (%23) as otherwise parsing of the URI may fail with an error.

Format specification for tap and sub command

The --format=FORMAT option controls the format of the tap and sub commands when writing messages to the console and optionally to the filesystem (i.e. when --saveto is set).

The FORMAT parameter has the following effect on the output:

Notes:

• the --json option is now deprecated. Use --format=json instead
• nopp stands for no pretty-print

Environment variables

Use environment variables to specify standard values for broker and api endpoint.

Default RabbitMQ broker

In cases where the URI argument is optional, e.g. rabtap tap [-uri URI] exchange ..., the URI of the RabbitMQ broker can be set with the environment variable RABTAP_AMQPURI. Example:

$ export RABTAP_AMQPURI=amqp://guest:[email protected]:5672/
$ rabtap tap amq.fanout:
...

Default RabbitMQ management API endpoint

The default RabbitMQ management API URI can be set using the RABTAP_APIURI environment variable. Example:

$ export RABTAP_APIURI=http://guest:[email protected]:15672/api
$ rabtap info
...

Default RabbitMQ TLS config

The default TLS config certificates path can be set using the RABTAP_TLS_CERTFILE and RABTAP_TLS_KEYFILE and RABTAP_TLS_CAFILE environments variables. Example:

$ export RABTAP_TLS_CERTFILE=/etc/rabbitmq/ssl/cert.pem
$ export RABTAP_TLS_KEYFILE=/etc/rabbitmq/ssl/key.pem
$ export RABTAP_TLS_CAFILE =/etc/rabbitmq/ssl/ca.pem
$ echo "Hello" | rabtap pub amq.topic --routingkey "key"
...

Disable color output

Set environment variable NO_COLOR to disable color output.

Examples

The following examples assume a RabbitMQ broker running on localhost:5672 and the management API available on port 15672. Easiest way to start such an instance is by running docker run -ti --rm -p 5672:5672 -p 15672:15672 rabbitmq:3-management or similar command to start a RabbitMQ container.

Broker info

The info command uses the REST API of RabbitMQ to gather and display topolgy related information from the broker.

The --mode MODE option controls how the output is structured. Valid options for MODE are byExchange (default) or byConnection.

The --format=FORMAT option controls the format of generated output. Valid options are text for console text format (default) or dot to output the tree structure in dot format for visualization with graphviz.

Examples (assume that RABTAP_APIURI environment variable is set):

• rabtap info --consumers - shows virtual hosts exchanges, queues and consumers of given broker in a tree view (see screenshot).
• rabtap info --mode=byConnection - shows virtual hosts, connections, consumers and queues of given broker in an tree view.
• rabtap info --format=dot | dot -T svg > broker.svg - renders broker info into dot format and uses graphviz to render a SVG file for final visualization.

Wire-tapping messages

The tap command allows to tap exchanges and transparently receives messages sent to the exchanges. Rabtap automatically reconnects on connections failures. The syntax of the tap command is rabtap tap [--uri URI] EXCHANGES where the EXCHANGES argument specifies the exchanges and binding keys to use. The EXCHANGES argument is of the form EXCHANGE:[KEY][,EXCHANGE:[KEY]]*. If the exchange name contains a colon, use \\: to escape it, e.g. myexchange\\:with\\:colons:KEY.

The acutal format of the binding key depends on the exchange type (e.g. direct, topic, headers) and is described in the RabbitMQ documentation.

Examples for binding keys used in tap command:

• # on an exchange of type topic will make the tap receive all messages on the exchange.
• a valid queue name for an exchange of type direct binds exactly to messages destined for this queue
• an empty binding key for exchanges of type fanout or type headers will receive all messages published to these exchanges

Note: on exchanges of type headers the binding key is currently ignored and all messages are received by the tap.

The following examples assume that the RABTAP_AMQPURI environment variable is set, otherwise you have to pass the additional --uri URI parameter to the commands below.

• $ rabtap tap my-topic-exchange:#
• $ rabtap tap my-fanout-exchange:
• $ rabtap tap my-headers-exchange:
• $ rabtap tap my-direct-exchange:binding-key

The following example connects to multiple exchanges:

• $ rabtap tap my-fanout-exchange:,my-topic-exchange:#,my-other-exchange:binding-key

Tap all messages published or delivered

The RabbitMQ Firehose Tracer allows to "see" every message that is published or delivered. To use it, the firehose tracer has to be enabled first:

$ rabbitmqctl rabbitmqctl trace_on 

Then every message published or delivered will be CC'd to the topic exhange amq.rabbitmq.trace. At this exchange, the messages can now be tapped with rabtap:

$ rabtap --uri amqp://guest:[email protected]:5672/ tap amq.rabbitmq.trace:#

Connect to multiple brokers

Rabtap allows you also to connect simultaneously to multiple brokers and exchanges:

• $ rabtap tap --uri amqp://broker1 amq.topic:# tap --uri amqp://broker2 amq.fanout:

The example connects to broker1 and taps to the amq.topic exchange and to the amq.fanout exchange on broker2.

Message recorder

All tapped messages can be also be saved for later analysis or replay. Rabtap supports saving of messages in two formats: raw body and metadata in separate files or JSON message format with embedded metadata and message the body base64 encode. Examples:

• $ rabtap tap amq.topic:# --saveto /tmp - saves messages as pair of files consisting of raw message body and JSON meta data file to /tmp directory.
• $ rabtap tap amq.topic:# --saveto /tmp --format json - saves messages as JSON files to /tmp directory.

Files are created with file name rabtap-+<Unix-Nano-Timestamp>+ . + <extension>.

Messages consumer (subscribe)

The sub command reads messages from a queue. Note that unlike tap, sub will consume messages that are in effect removed from the specified queue. Example:

• $ rabtap sub somequeue --format json

Will consume messages from queue somequeue and print out messages in JSON format (this is equivalent to using the now deprecated --json option). The Example assumes that RABTAP_AMQPURI environment variable is set, as the --uri AMQPURI parameter is omitted.

Publish messages

The pub command is used to publish messages to an exchange with a routing key. The messages to be published are either read from a file, or from a directory which contains previously recorded messages (e.g. using the --saveto option of the tap command). Messages can be published either in raw format, in which they are send as-is, or in JSON-format, as described here, which includes message metadata and the body in a single JSON document.

The general form of the pub command is

rabtap pub [--uri=URI] [SOURCE] [--exchange=EXCHANGE] [--routingkey=KEY] [--format=FORMAT] 
           [--delay=DELAY | --speed=FACTOR] [-jkv]

• $ echo hello | rabtap pub amq.fanout - publish "hello" to exchange amqp.fanout
• $ rabtap pub messages.json --format=json - messages are read from file messages.json in raptab JSON format. Target exchange and routing keys are read from the messages meta data. The messages.json file can contain multiple JSON documents as it is treated as a JSON stream. Rabtap will honor the XRabtapReceived timestamps of the messages and by default delay the messages as they were recorded. This behaviour can be overridden by the --delay and --speed options.
• $ rabtap pub amq.direct -r myKey --format=json messages.json --delay=0s - as before, but publish messages always to exchange amq.direct with routing key myKey and without any delays.
• $ rabtap pub amq.direct -r myKey --format=raw somedir --delay=0s - as before, but assuming that somedir is a directory, the messages are read from message files previously recorded to this directory and replayed in the order they were recorded.

Poor mans shovel

Rabtap instances can be connected through a pipe and messages will be read on one side and published to the other. Note that for publish to work in streaming mode, the JSON mode (--format json) must be used on both sides, so that messages are encapsulated in JSON messages.

The example taps messages on broker1 and publishes the messages to the amq.direct exchange on broker2

$ rabtap tap --uri amqp://broker1 my-topic-exchange:# --format json | \
  rabtap pub --uri amqp://broker2 amq.direct -r routingKey --format json

Close connection

The conn command allows to close a connection. The name of the connection to be closed is expected as parameter. Use the info command with the --consumers option to find the connection associated with a queue. Example:

$ rabtap info --consumers
http://localhost:15672/api (broker ver='3.6.9', mgmt ver='3.6.9', cluster='[email protected]')
└── Vhost /
    ├── amq.direct (exchange, type 'direct', [D])
    :
    └── test-topic (exchange, type 'topic', [AD])
        ├── test-q-test-topic-0 (queue, key='test-q-test-topic-0', running, [])
        │   └── __rabtap-consumer-4823a3c0 (consumer user='guest', chan='172.17.0.1:59228 -> 172.17.0.2:5672 (1)')
        │       └── '172.17.0.1:59228 -> 172.17.0.2:5672' (connection client='https://github.com/streadway/amqp', host='172.17.0.2:5672', peer='172.17.0.1:59228')
        ├── test-q-test-topic-1 (queue, key='test-q-test-topic-1', running, [])
        :
$ rabtap conn close '172.17.0.1:59228 -> 172.17.0.2:5672'

Queue commands

The queue command can be used to easily create, remove, bind or unbind queues:

$ rabtap queue create myqueue
$ rabtap info --show-default
http://localhost:15672/api (broker ver='3.7.8', mgmt ver='3.7.8', cluster='[email protected]')
└── Vhost /
    ├── (default) (exchange, type 'direct', [D])
    │   └── myqueue (queue, key='myqueue', idle since 2018-12-07 20:46:15, [])
    :
    └── amq.topic (exchange, type 'topic', [D])
$ rabtap queue bind myqueue to amq.topic --bindingkey hello
$ rabtap info --show-default
http://localhost:15672/api (broker ver='3.7.8', mgmt ver='3.7.8', cluster='[email protected]')
└── Vhost /
    ├── (default) (exchange, type 'direct', [D])
    │   └── myqueue (queue, key='myqueue', idle since 2018-12-07 20:46:15, [])
    :
    └── amq.topic (exchange, type 'topic', [D])
        └── myqueue (queue, key='hello', idle since 2018-12-07 20:46:15, [])
$ rabtap queue unbind myqueue from amq.topic --bindingkey hello
$ rabtap info --show-default
http://localhost:15672/api (broker ver='3.7.8', mgmt ver='3.7.8', cluster='[email protected]')
└── Vhost /
    ├── (default) (exchange, type 'direct', [D])
    │   └── myqueue (queue, key='myqueue', idle since 2018-12-07 20:46:15, [])
    :
    └── amq.topic (exchange, type 'topic', [D])
$ rabtap queue rm myqueue
$ raptap info
http://localhost:15672/api (broker ver='3.7.8', mgmt ver='3.7.8', cluster='[email protected]')
└── Vhost /
    :
    └── amq.topic (exchange, type 'topic', [D])

Additionally use the purge command to remove all elements from a queue, e.g.

$ rabtap queue purge myqueue

JSON message format

When using the --format json option, messages are print/read as a stream of JSON messages in the following format:

...
{
  "ContentType": "text/plain",
  "ContentEncoding": "",
  "DeliveryMode": 0,
  "Priority": 0,
  "CorrelationID": "",
  "ReplyTo": "",
  "Expiration": "",
  "MessageID": "",
  "Timestamp": "2017-11-10T00:13:38+01:00",
  "Type": "",
  "UserID": "",
  "AppID": "rabtap.testgen",
  "DeliveryTag": 27,
  "Redelivered": false,
  "Exchange": "amq.topic",
  "RoutingKey": "test-q-amq.topic-0",
  "XRabtapReceivedTimestamp": "2019-06-13T19:33:51.920711583+02:00",
  "Body": "dGhpcyB0ZXN0IG1lc3NhZ2U .... IGFuZCBoZWFkZXJzIGFtcXAuVGFibGV7fQ=="
}
...

Note that in JSON mode, the Body is base64 encoded.

Filtering output of info command

When your brokers topology is complex, the output of the info command can become very bloated. The --filter helps you to narrow output to the desired information.

Filtering expressions

A filtering expression is a function that evaluates to true or false (i.e. a predicate). Rabtap allows the specification of predicates to be applied when printing queues using the info command. The output will only proceed if the predicate evaluates to true.

Rabtap uses the govalute to evaluate the predicate. This allows or complex expressions.

See official govaluate documentation for further information.

Note: currently the filter is ignored when used in conjunction with --by-connection.

Evaluation context

During evaluation the context (i.e. the current exchange, queue and binding) is available in the expression as variables:

• the current exchange is bound to the variable exchange
• the current queue is bound to the variable queue
• the curren binding is bound to the variable binding

Examples

The examples assume that RABTAP_APIURI environment variable points to the broker to be used, e.g. http://guest:[email protected]:15672/api).

• rabtap info --filter "exchange.Name == 'amq.direct'" --omit-empty - print only queues bound to exchange amq.direct and skip all empty exchanges.
• rabtap info --filter "queue.Name =~ '.*test.*'" --omit-empty - print all queues with test in their name.
• rabtap info --filter "queue.Name =~ '.*test.*' && exchange.Type == 'topic'" --omit-empty - like before, but consider only exchanges of type topic.
• rabtap info --filter "queue.Consumers > 0" --omit --stats --consumers - print all queues with at least one consumer

Type reference

The types reflect more or less the JSON API objects of the REST API of RabbitMQ transformed to golang types.

Exchange type

type Exchange struct {
    Name       string
    Vhost      string
    Type       string
    Durable    bool
    AutoDelete bool

Build from source

Download and build using go get

$ GO111MODULE=on go get github.com/jandelgado/rabtap/cmd/rabtap

Build using Makefile and tests

To build rabtap from source, you need go (version >= 1.12) and golangci-lint installed.

$ git clone https://github.com/jandelgado/rabtap && cd rabtap
$ make test  -or- make short-test
$ make

In order to run all tests (make test) an instance of RabbitMQ is expected to run on localhost. Easiest way to start one is running make run-broker, which will start a RabbitMQ docker container (i.e. docker run -ti --rm -p 5672:5672 -p 15672:15672 rabbitmq:3-management).

Test data generator

A simple test data generator tool for manual tests is included in the cmd/testgen directory.
