If it's a local broker, you can just use the AMQP uri <amqp://test>, which will
connect via a direct connection (in other words it will sends erlang messages
directly instead of AMQP frames via TCP).

This error is given by the fact that you're trying to declare
`my-exchange-topic' with the shovel configuration, but the exchange is already
there.

If the resources that you need are already present, you don't need to specify
them in the shovel config.
