NAME

4     rabbitmq-env.conf — environment variables used by RabbitMQ server
5

DESCRIPTION

7     rabbitmq-env.conf contains environment variables that override the de‐
8     faults built in to the RabbitMQ scripts and CLI tools.
9
10     The file is interpreted by the system shell, and so should consist of a
11     sequence of shell environment variable definitions.  Normal shell syntax
12     is permitted (since the file is sourced using the shell "." operator),
13     including line comments starting with "#".
14
15     In order of preference, the startup scripts get their values from the en‐
16     vironment, from rabbitmq-env.conf and finally from the built-in default
17     values.  For example, for the RABBITMQ_NODENAME setting,
18     RABBITMQ_NODENAME from the environment is checked first.  If it is absent
19     or equal to the empty string, then NODENAME from rabbitmq-env.conf is
20     checked.  If it is also absent or set equal to the empty string then the
21     default value from the startup script is used.
22
23     The variable names in rabbitmq-env.conf are always equal to the environ‐
24     ment variable names, with the "RABBITMQ_" prefix removed:
25     RABBITMQ_NODE_PORT from the environment becomes NODE_PORT in
26     rabbitmq-env.conf.
27

EXAMPLES

29     Below is an example of a minimalistic rabbitmq-env.conf file that over‐
30     rides the default node name prefix from "rabbit" to "hare".
31
32           # I am a complete rabbitmq-env.conf file.
33           # Comment lines start with a hash character.
34           # This is a /bin/sh script file - use ordinary envt var syntax
35           NODENAME=hare
36
37     In the below rabbitmq-env.conf file RabbitMQ configuration file location
38     is changed to "/data/services/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf".
39
40           # I am a complete rabbitmq-env.conf file.
41           # Comment lines start with a hash character.
42           # This is a /bin/sh script file - use ordinary envt var syntax
43           CONFIG_FILE=/data/services/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf
