Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ now supports Prometheus metrics

Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ now supports the Prometheus plugin on RabbitMQ 4.2 brokers, providing a native Prometheus-compatible metrics endpoint on your RabbitMQ brokers. You can scrape broker, queue, and connection metrics directly from your brokers using any Prometheus-compatible monitoring tool, giving you more flexibility in how you observe and alert on your messaging infrastructure.

The plugin exposes metrics through the /metrics, /metrics/detailed, and /metrics/memory-breakdown endpoints in Prometheus text format. Amazon MQ also publishes a curated subset of these Prometheus metrics to CloudWatch. With the Prometheus plugin, you can now integrate your brokers into existing Prometheus-based monitoring stacks including Grafana dashboards, Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, and self-hosted Prometheus servers.

The Prometheus plugin is enabled by default on all Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ 4.2 brokers in all AWS Regions where Amazon MQ is available. To learn more about monitoring with Prometheus, see the Amazon MQ release notes.
