OpenStack projects use an open standard for messaging middleware known as AMQP. This messaging middleware enables the OpenStack services that run on multiple servers to talk to each other. OpenStack Oslo RPC supports three implementations of AMQP: RabbitMQ, Qpid, and ZeroMQ.
OpenStack Oslo RPC uses RabbitMQ
by default. Use these options to configure the
RabbitMQ message system. The
rpc_backend option is optional as long as
RabbitMQ is the default messaging
system. However, if it is included the configuration, you must
set it to
neutron.openstack.common.rpc.impl_kombu.
rpc_backend=neutron.openstack.common.rpc.impl_kombu
Use these options to configure the
RabbitMQ messaging system. You can
configure messaging communication for different installation
scenarios, tune retries for RabbitMQ, and define the size of the
RPC thread pool. To monitor notifications through RabbitMQ, you
must set the notification_driver option to
neutron.openstack.common.notifier.rpc_notifier in the
neutron.conf file:
| Configuration option = Default value | Description |
|---|---|
| [oslo_messaging_rabbit] | |
amqp_auto_delete = False |
(BoolOpt) Auto-delete queues in AMQP. |
amqp_durable_queues = False |
(BoolOpt) Use durable queues in AMQP. |
fake_rabbit = False |
(BoolOpt) Deprecated, use rpc_backend=kombu+memory or rpc_backend=fake |
heartbeat_rate = 2 |
(IntOpt) How often times during the heartbeat_timeout_threshold we check the heartbeat. |
heartbeat_timeout_threshold = 0 |
(IntOpt) Number of seconds after which the Rabbit broker is considered down if heartbeat's keep-alive fails (0 disables the heartbeat, >0 enables it. Enabling heartbeats requires kombu>=3.0.7 and amqp>=1.4.0). EXPERIMENTAL |
kombu_reconnect_delay = 1.0 |
(FloatOpt) How long to wait before reconnecting in response to an AMQP consumer cancel notification. |
kombu_ssl_ca_certs = |

rabbit_ha_queues = False |
(BoolOpt) Use HA queues in RabbitMQ (x-ha-policy: all). If you change this option, you must wipe the RabbitMQ database. |
rabbit_host = localhost |
(StrOpt) The RabbitMQ broker address where a single node is used. |
rabbit_hosts = $rabbit_host:$rabbit_port |
(ListOpt) RabbitMQ HA cluster host:port pairs. |

(StrOpt) The RabbitMQ virtual host. |
rpc_conn_pool_size = 30 |
(IntOpt) Size of RPC connection pool. |
Use these options to configure the
Qpid messaging system for OpenStack
Oslo RPC. Qpid is not the default
messaging system, so you must enable it by setting the
rpc_backend option in the
neutron.conf file:
rpc_backend=neutron.openstack.common.rpc.impl_qpid
This critical option points the compute nodes to the
Qpid broker (server). Set the
qpid_hostname option to the host name where
the broker runs in the neutron.conf
file.
![[Note]](../common/images/admon/note.png) | Note |
|---|---|
The |
qpid_hostname=hostname.example.com
If the Qpid broker listens on a
port other than the AMQP default of 5672, you
must set the qpid_port option to that
value:
qpid_port=12345
If you configure the Qpid broker to require authentication, you must add a user name and password to the configuration:
qpid_username=username
qpid_password=password
By default, TCP is used as the transport. To enable SSL, set
the qpid_protocol option:
qpid_protocol=ssl
Use these additional options to configure the Qpid messaging driver for OpenStack Oslo RPC. These options are used infrequently.
