rabbitmq-env.conf.5
NAME
rabbitmq-env.conf — environment variables used by RabbitMQ server
DESCRIPTION
rabbitmq-env.conf contains environment variables that override the defaults built in to the RabbitMQ scripts and CLI tools.
The file is interpreted by the system shell, and so should consist of a sequence of shell environment variable definitions. Normal shell syntax is permitted (since the file is sourced using the shell "." operator), including line comments starting with "#".
In order of preference, the startup scripts get their values from the environment, from rabbitmq-env.conf and finally from the built-in default values. For example, for the RABBITMQ_NODENAME setting, RABBITMQ_NODENAME from the environment is checked first. If it is absent or equal to the empty string, then NODENAME from rabbitmq-env.conf is checked. If it is also absent or set equal to the empty string then the default value from the startup script is used.
The variable names in rabbitmq-env.conf are always equal to the environment variable names, with the "RABBITMQ_" prefix removed: RABBITMQ_NODE_PORT from the environment becomes NODE_PORT in rabbitmq-env.conf.
EXAMPLES
Below is an example of a minimalistic rabbitmq-env.conf file that overrides the default node name prefix from "rabbit" to "hare".
# I am a complete rabbitmq-env.conf file.# Comment lines start with a hash character.# This is a /bin/sh script file - use ordinary envt var syntaxNODENAME=hareIn the below rabbitmq-env.conf file RabbitMQ configuration file location is changed to "/data/services/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf".
