RabbitMQ Connector

Summary

The RabbitMQ connector establishes access to RabbitMQ.

The RabbitMQ connector provides an interface for creating a RabbitMQ connection, the foundation used for generating instances of RabbitMQ activities. These activities, once configured, interact with RabbitMQ through the connection.

The RabbitMQ connector is accessed from the design component palette's Connections tab (see Design Component Palette).

Connector Overview

This connector is used to first configure a RabbitMQ connection. Activity types associated with that connection are then used to create instances of activities that are intended to be used as sources (to provide data in an operation) or targets (to consume data in an operation).

Together, a specific RabbitMQ connection and its activities are referred to as a RabbitMQ endpoint:

RabbitMQ activity types

  • Publish Bulk: Publishes a batch of messages to an exchange in RabbitMQ and is intended to be used as a target in an operation.

  • Get Bulk: Retrieves a batch of messages available in a specific RabbitMQ queue and is intended to be used as a source in an operation.

  • Acknowledge: Acknowledges a message (using an ackId) in RabbitMQ and is intended to be used as a target in an operation.

  • Get: Retrieves messages from a RabbitMQ queue and is intended to be used as a source in an operation.

  • Publish: Publishes a message to an exchange in RabbitMQ and is intended to be used as a target in an operation.

  • Consume: Consumes messages from a RabbitMQ queue and is intended to be used as a source in an operation.

Note

This connector is a Connector SDK-based connector, which may be referred to by Jitterbit when communicating changes made to connectors built with the Connector SDK.

Prerequisites and Supported API Versions

The RabbitMQ connector requires the use of an agent version 10.1 or later. These agent versions automatically download the latest version of the connector when required.

The RabbitMQ connector uses the RabbitMQ Java Client v5.8.0. Refer to the API documentation for information on the schema nodes and fields.

Prior to using the Consume activity, certain prerequisites must be met.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with the RabbitMQ connector, these troubleshooting steps are recommended:

  1. Click the Test button in the connection configuration to ensure the connection is successful and to ensure the latest version of the connector is downloaded to the agent (unless using the Disable Auto Connector Update organization policy).

  2. Check the operation logs for any information written during execution of the operation.

  3. Enable operation debug logging (for Cloud Agents or for Private Agents) to generate additional log files and data.

  4. If using Private Agents, you can enable connector verbose logging for this connector using this specific configuration entry of logger name and level:

    <logger name="org.jitterbit.connector.rabbitmq" level="DEBUG"/>

  5. If using Private Agents, you can check the agent logs for more information.
