Nodes:
await_startup Waits for the RabbitMQ application to start on the target node reset Instructs a RabbitMQ node to leave the cluster and return to its virgin state rotate_logs Instructs the RabbitMQ node to perform internal log rotation shutdown Stops RabbitMQ and its runtime (Erlang VM). Monitors progress for local nodes. Does not require a PID file path. start_app Starts the RabbitMQ application but leaves the runtime (Erlang VM) running stop Stops RabbitMQ and its runtime (Erlang VM). Requires a local node pid file path to monitor progress. stop_app Stops the RabbitMQ application, leaving the runtime (Erlang VM) running wait Waits for RabbitMQ node startup by monitoring a local PID file. See also 'rabbitmqctl await_online_nodes'
Cluster:
await_online_nodes Waits for <count> nodes to join the cluster change_cluster_node_type Changes the type of the cluster node cluster_status Displays all the nodes in the cluster grouped by node type, together with the currently running nodes force_boot Forces node to start even if it cannot contact or rejoin any of its previously known peers force_reset Forcefully returns a RabbitMQ node to its virgin state forget_cluster_node Removes a node from the cluster join_cluster Instructs the node to become a member of the cluster that the specified node is in rename_cluster_node Renames cluster nodes in the local database update_cluster_nodes Instructs a cluster member node to sync the list of known cluster members from <seed_node>
Replication:
cancel_sync_queue Instructs a synchronising mirrored queue to stop synchronising itself sync_queue Instructs a mirrored queue with unsynchronised mirrors (follower replicas) to synchronise them
Users:
add_user Creates a new user in the internal database authenticate_user Attempts to authenticate a user. Exits with a non-zero code if authentication fails. change_password Changes the user password clear_password Clears (resets) password and disables password login for a user delete_user Removes a user from the internal database. Has no effect on users provided by external backends such as LDAP list_users List user names and tags set_user_tags Sets user tags
Access Control:
clear_permissions Revokes user permissions for a vhost clear_topic_permissions Clears user topic permissions for a vhost or exchange list_permissions Lists user permissions in a virtual host list_topic_permissions Lists topic permissions in a virtual host list_user_permissions Lists permissions of a user across all virtual hosts list_user_topic_permissions Lists user topic permissions list_vhosts Lists virtual hosts set_permissions Sets user permissions for a vhost set_topic_permissions Sets user topic permissions for an exchange
Monitoring, observability and health checks:
environment Displays the name and value of each variable in the application environment for each running application list_bindings Lists all bindings on a vhost list_channels Lists all channels in the node list_ciphers Lists cipher suites supported by encoding commands list_connections Lists AMQP 0.9.1 connections for the node list_consumers Lists all consumers for a vhost list_exchanges Lists exchanges list_hashes Lists hash functions supported by encoding commands list_queues Lists queues and their properties list_unresponsive_queues Tests queues to respond within timeout. Lists those which did not respond ping Checks that the node OS process is up, registered with EPMD and CLI tools can authenticate with it report Generate a server status report containing a concatenation of all server status information for support purposes schema_info Lists schema database tables and their properties status Displays status of a node
Parameters:
clear_global_parameter Clears a global runtime parameter clear_parameter Clears a runtime parameter. list_global_parameters Lists global runtime parameters list_parameters Lists runtime parameters for a virtual host set_global_parameter Sets a runtime parameter. set_parameter Sets a runtime parameter.
Policies:
clear_operator_policy Clears an operator policy clear_policy Clears (removes) a policy list_operator_policies Lists operator policy overrides for a virtual host list_policies Lists all policies in a virtual host set_operator_policy Sets an operator policy that overrides a subset of arguments in user policies set_policy Sets or updates a policy
Virtual hosts:
add_vhost Creates a virtual host clear_vhost_limits Clears virtual host limits delete_vhost Deletes a virtual host list_vhost_limits Displays configured virtual host limits restart_vhost Restarts a failed vhost data stores and queues set_vhost_limits Sets virtual host limits trace_off trace_on
Node configuration:
decode Decrypts an encrypted configuration value encode Encrypts a sensitive configuration value set_cluster_name Sets the cluster name set_disk_free_limit Sets the disk_free_limit setting set_log_level Sets log level in the running node set_vm_memory_high_watermark Sets the vm_memory_high_watermark setting
Definitions:
export_definitions Exports definitions in JSON or compressed Erlang Term Format. import_definitions Imports definitions in JSON or compressed Erlang Term Format.
Deprecated:
node_health_check DEPRECATED. Performs intrusive, opinionated health checks on a fully booted node. See https://www.rabbitmq.com/monitoring.html#health-checks instead
Feature flags:
enable_feature_flag Enables a feature flag on target node list_feature_flags Lists feature flags
Operations:
close_all_connections Instructs the broker to close all connections for the specified vhost or entire RabbitMQ node close_connection Instructs the broker to close the connection associated with the Erlang process id eval Evaluates a snippet of Erlang code on the target node exec Evaluates a snippet of Elixir code on the CLI node force_gc Makes all Erlang processes on the target node perform/schedule a full sweep garbage collection hipe_compile Only exists for backwards compatibility. HiPE support has been dropped starting with Erlang 22. Do not use
Queues:
delete_queue Deletes a queue purge_queue Purges a queue (removes all messages in it)
