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.<br>

We don't have one off the shelf, though several of our clients are using<br>
RabbitMQ with pacemaker and heartbeat, and presumeably have written similar<br>
such scripts.<br>
<br>
Rather than using the rabbitmq-multi script to monitor (which should be<br>
fine), we tend to suggest just checking to see if the port is open (by<br>
default 5672, but that can change on configuration). How does pacemaker<br>
monitor something like apache? - again there would be the option of<br>
either checking the port is open, or using some sort of status<br>
monitoring. I don't know whether one is generally preferred to the<br>
other?<br>
