Key metrics for RabbitMQ monitoring

RabbitMQ is a message broker that facilitates communication between different parts of an application by routing messages between producers and consumers. It is well-suited for microservices architectures, as it allows loose coupling between services. Key components within RabbitMQ include exchanges, queues, and bindings, which define the logic of routing messages. Monitoring RabbitMQ involves tracking metrics related to these components, such as message rates, queue depths, consumer utilization, and resource usage (e.g., file descriptors, network sockets, disk space, memory). By monitoring these metrics, users can ensure that their messaging setup is working efficiently and effectively.
