Alerting for RabbitMQ for Consumer count and Message Rates

[Munzir]

We want to set an alerting profile for RabbitMQ if the Consumer count is dropping, eg from 8 it goes to 7 or 6 there has to be an alert.

Along with it if the Message rates is crossing 1000 then a warning alert should be raised and if it goes above 1500 then critical aler tshould be raised

To do this, a Metric Event must be created for the Consumers metric.

You can find all metrics for RabbitMQ here:

How to create a metric event can be found here:

Please note that you will need to create an Alerting Profile if you want to send information about this event by email, for example.
