rabbitmqctl addresses the core Rabbit API, of which the AMQP TCP
listeners are a part. The STOMP adapter OTOH sets up its own TCP
listener hierarchy on the STOMP port and delegates decoded STOMP
commands to the corresponding AMQP *channels* within the same VM as
the AMQP broker. The core Rabbit broker has no awareness of any
applications running in the same process space as itself and hence
cannot report on these processes (without any notion of a listener
plugin mechanism). If you really need this management information I
suggest that you either use AMQP instead of STOMP as a wire protocol
or port the TCP supervision functionality to the STOMP adapter.
