Generic RabbitMQ Producer

About

The Generic RabbitMQ Producer connector facilitates the sending of files from a specified directory to a RabbitMQ queue. It locates the designated directory, reads any files present, publishes their content as messages to the configured queue, and subsequently deletes the files. This enables a simple file-based integration with RabbitMQ for message queuing.

Configuration

Connections

Virtual Connection - Main

This connector uses a virtual connection and does not require any input during element creation.

Initialization

On the Configuration page, configure the following parameters to set up the element:

  • RabbitMQ Username: User name for RabbitMQ authentication.
  • RabbitMQ Password: Password for RabbitMQ authentication.
  • IP Address: The hostname or IP address of the RabbitMQ server.
  • Port: The port number of the RabbitMQ server.
  • Queue Name: The name of the queue to which messages will be sent.
  • Virtual Host: The virtual host of the RabbitMQ server.
  • Import Directory Path: The directory where files to be published are located, which can be a local or a remote directory.
  • Import Directory Type: The type of the directory where the files to be published are located, either Local or Remote.
  • System Username: The system username to be used if Import Directory Type is set to Remote.
  • System Password: The system password to be used if Import Directory Type is set to Remote.

How to use

Based on the interval time configured in File Process Interval (1 hour by default) on the Configuration page, the connector will try to process the files and send them to the specified queue. This will be reflected in the Processing State parameter.

The file processing can be disabled or enabled with the File Process Status parameter.

You can start the processing manually by clicking the Process Files button. This will start the processing immediately, without waiting for the next interval.

After the files have been processed, all processed files will be listed in the Messages table on the General page. This table will contain the name of the file and the time when it was processed.

The retention time for this table can be configured with the Message Retention Time parameter, and the table can be cleaned up based on that time or completely cleared with the Clean Now and Clear buttons, respectively.
