[rabbitmq-discuss] Monitoring rabbitmq

[Mark Steele]

I suppose it depends on the level of certainty one is looking for. Checking
that the port is open doesn't mean that rabbit is capable of
receiving/sending messages (eg: SSL listener bug, etc...). I guess the only
real way to monitor would  be to connect, publish, and consume.
