[rabbitmq-discuss] Tracer tool question.

[Alex Shneyderman]

Hello, everyone!

I am using java client (v 2.8.4) and I am trying to setup Tracer tool.
I run local client that connects to the remote rabbit server (to which
I connect with username and password). Now as far as I understood
tracer allows me to point to the target server while listening on
localhost's port 5673. Then my client connects to the localhost:5673
and tracer makes connection to the remote host and start logging the
conversation between my client and remote rabbit.

Now, I started Tracer and trying to connect my client to it does not
seem to work. I get errors on the client side telling me

Caused by: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

Tracer's logs are empty.

Anyone knows what is going on and how can I make tracer work for me?

Cheers,
Alex.
