Rabbit Snoop

Rabbit Snoop (rsnoop) is a CLI tool used for monitoring messages sent to RabbitMQ Exchanges.

❗ This tool is currently a work-in-progress and may undergo drastic changes in the future.

Features

📝 Zero Configuration: rsnoop makes assumptions about your local RabbitMQ server, but you can override these assumptions with command line arguments.

🌈 Colorized Output: Messages are displayed with colorized output to enhance readability.

🧹 Cleans Up After Itself: rsnoop will clean up any temporary queues it created when it exits.

Installation

You can install rsnoop from npm using the following command:

npm install -g @cr0wst/rsnoop

The beta tag points to the latest commit on the main branch. You can install it using the following command:

npm i -g @cr0wst/rsnoop@beta

Usage

To view the list of available options for rsnoop, run the following command:

rsnoop -h

If run without arguments, rsnoop assumes the following defaults for your local RabbitMQ server:

• Host: localhost
• Port: 5672
• Username: guest
• Password: guest
• Virtual Host: /
• Exchange: amq.topic

To connect to a remote server, use the following command:

rsnoop -e exchange_to_listen_to

If you specify multiple exchanges, then the temporary queue will bind to all of them:

rsnoop -e exchange_one exchange_two
