<div dir="ltr">Simon,<div><br></div><div>Thank you for your reply.</div><div><br></div><div>1) I was trying to obfuscate my�actual�naming conventions - but they are named in a similar manner. The general structure though is that in cluster01 I have an exchange named something like "cluster01.topic" and in the pattern field I put " ^cluster01\. " (basically everything in preceeding the "." in the exchange name). Can you confirm that this would be the correct pattern?<br>
<br>2) I do not see "federate-me" show up in the management UI exchange list - but I see the policy in the Admin section. Would it show up as a discrete exchange itself?<br><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br>

4) Added a new policy (from the perspective of "cluster-01") with a name<br>
of "federate-me", a pattern of "^cluster01\." and a definition of<br>
"federation-upstream-set:all".<br>

<br></div>
That pattern is meant to match exchange names - is that how your exchanges are named?<div class="im"><br>

Based on my understanding I should now see the link listed (whether or<br>
not is successful or producing errors) in the federation status page of<br>
the management UI. All I see is "... no links ...". Furthermore,<br>
executing a " rabbitmqctl eval 'rabbit_federation_status:<u></u>status().' " on<br>
any of the nodes in the two clusters returns " [] ...done. ".<br>
<br>
The logs from the servers show no errors related to federated links.<br>
<br>
Questions:<br>
<br>
1) My understanding was that defining the upstream and the policy on a<br>
particular vhost was enough to begin instantiation of the federated<br>
link. Is this the case?<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
That should be the case. My guess is that the policy is not matching any exchanges and so federation thinks it has nothing to do. Do you see "federate-me" show up in the management UI exchange list / "rabbitmqctl list_exchanges name policy"?<br>
