Chapter 1. Admin Guide

1.1. Overview

RabbitMQ (http://www.rabbitmq.com/) is an open source messaging server. It's purpose is to manage received messages in queues, taking advantage of the flexible AMQP protocol.

Using this module you can send AMQP messages to a RabbitMQ server. Messages can be easily customized according to the AMQP specifications, as well the RabbitMQ extensions.

1.2. Dependencies

1.2.1. OpenSIPS Modules

The following modules must be loaded before this module:

1.2.2. External Libraries or Applications

The following libraries or applications must be installed before running OpenSIPS with this module loaded:

  • librabbitmq-dev

1.3. Exported Parameters

1.3.1. server_id (string)

Specify configuration for a RabbitMQ server. It contains a set of parameters used to customize the connection to the server, as well as to the messages sent. The format of the parameter is [id_name] param1=value1; param2=value2;. The uri parameter is mandatory.

This parameter can be set multiple times, for each RabbitMQ server.

The following parameters can be used:

  • uri - Mandatory parameter - a full amqp URI as described here. Missing fields in the URI will receive default values, such as: user: guest, password: guest, host: localhost, vhost: /, port: 5672. TLS connections are specified using an amqps URI.

  • frames - the maximum size of an AMQP frame. Optional parameter, default size is 131072.

  • retries - the number of retries in case a connection is down. Optional parameter, default is disabled (do not retry).

  • exchange - exchange used to send AMQP messages to. Optional parameter, default is "".

  • heartbeat - interval in seconds used to send heartbeat messages. Optional parameter, default is disabled.

  • immediate - indicate to the broker that the message MUST be delivered to a consumer immediately. Optional parameter, default is not immediate.

  • mandatory - indicate to the broker that the message MUST be routed to a queue. Optional parameter, default is not mandatory.

  • non-persistent - indicates that the message should not be persistent in case the RabbitMQ server restarts. Optional parameter, default is persistent.

  • tls_domain - indicates which TLS domain (as defined using the tls_mgm module) to use for this connection. This must be an amqps URI and the use_tls module parameter must be enabled.

Example 1.1. Set server_id parameter

...
# connection to a RabbitMQ server on localhost, default port
modparam("rabbitmq", "server_id","[ID1] uri = amqp://127.0.0.1")
...
# connection with a 5 seconds interval for heartbeat messages
modparam("rabbitmq", "server_id","[ID2] uri = amqp://127.0.0.1;
heartbeat = 5")
...
# TLS connection
modparam("rabbitmq", "server_id","[ID3] uri = amqps://127.0.0.1; tls_domain=rmq")
...
		

1.3.2. use_tls (integer)

Setting this parameter will allow you to use TLS for broker connections. In order to enable TLS for a specific connection, you can use the "tls_domain=dom_name" parameter in the configuration specified through the server_id module parameter.

When using this parameter, you must also ensure that tls_mgm is loaded and properly configured. Refer to the the module for additional info regarding TLS client domains.

Default value is 0 (not enabled)

Example 1.2. Set the use_tls parameter

...
modparam("tls_mgm", "client_domain", "rmq")
modparam("tls_mgm", "certificate", "[rmq]/etc/pki/tls/certs/rmq.pem")
modparam("tls_mgm", "private_key", "[rmq]/etc/pki/tls/private/rmq.key")
modparam("tls_mgm", "ca_list",     "[rmq]/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca.pem")
...
modparam("rabbitmq", "use_tls", 1)
...

1.4. Exported Functions

1.4.1.  rabbitmq_publish(server_id, routing_key, message [, [content_type [, headers, headers_vals]]])

Sends a publish message to a RabbitMQ server.

This function also allows you to attach AMQP headers and values in the AMQP message. This is done by specifying a set of headers names (in the headers parameter) and the corresponding values (in the headers_vals parameter). The number of AVP values in the headers must be the same as the one in the headers_vals.

This function can be used from any route.

The function has the following parameters:

  • server_id (string) - the id of the RabbitMQ server. Must be one of the parameters defined in the server_id modparam.

  • routing_key (string) - routing key used to deliver the AMQP message.

  • message (string) - the body of the message.

  • content_type (string, optional) - content type of the message sent. By default it is none.

  • headers (string, optional) - an AVP containing the names of the headers within the AMQP message. If set, headers_vals parameter must also be specified.

  • headers_vals (string, optional) - an AVP containing the corresponding values of the AMQP headers. If set, headers parameter must also be specified.

Example 1.3. rabbitmq_publish() function usage

	...
	rabbitmq_publish("ID1", "call", "$fU called $rU");
	...
	rabbitmq_publish("ID1", "call", "{ \'caller\': \'$fU\',
					\'callee\; \'$rU\'", "application/json");
	...
	$avp(hdr_name) = "caller";
	$avp(hdr_value) = $fU;
	$avp(hdr_name) = "callee";
	$avp(hdr_value) = $rU;
	rabbitmq_publish("ID2", "call", $rb, , $avp(hdr_name), $avp(hdr_value));
	...
