RabbitMQ Message Routing Errors

Back to Runbooks

Overview

RabbitMQ Message Routing Errors occur when RabbitMQ, a message broker software, fails to route messages from the sender to the intended recipient. This can happen due to various reasons such as network issues, misconfiguration, or issues with the software itself. As a result, messages may be delayed, lost, or delivered to the wrong recipient, leading to disruptions in communication and potentially impacting the functionality of the software system that relies on RabbitMQ.

Parameters

Debug

Verify that RabbitMQ is running

Check the RabbitMQ logs for any errors

Verify that the RabbitMQ exchange exists and is configured correctly

Verify that the RabbitMQ queue exists and is configured correctly

Verify that the RabbitMQ binding between the exchange and queue exists and is configured correctly

Check the status of the RabbitMQ connections and channels

Check the status of the RabbitMQ consumers

Verify that the message is being sent to the correct exchange and routing key

Check the RabbitMQ message rates for the exchange and queue

Verify that the RabbitMQ virtual host is configured correctly

Repair

Check if the exchange and queue bindings are correctly defined on the RabbitMQ server. If not, modify them to ensure proper routing of messages between the producers and consumers.
