# Rabbit MQ setup and MaxScale Integration
 | 
						|
## Introduction
 | 
						|
A step by step guide helps installing a RabbitMQ server and testing it before MaxScale integration.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
New plugin filter and a message consumer application need to be compiled and linked with an external C library, RabbitMQ-c, that provides AMQP protocol integration.
 | 
						|
Custom configuration, with TCP/IP and Queue parameters, is also detailed here.
 | 
						|
The software install setup provides RPM and DEB packaging and traditional compilation steps.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Step 1 - Get the RabbitMQ binaries
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
On Centos 6.5 using fedora / RHEL rpm get the rpm from [http://www.rabbitmq.com/](http://www.rabbitmq.com/ "RabbitMQ")
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	rabbitmq-server-3.3.4-1.noarch.rpm
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Please note, before installing RabbitMQ, you must install Erlang. 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Example:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	yum install erlang
 | 
						|
    Package erlang-R14B-04.3.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Step 2 - Install and Start the Server
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Install the packages using your distribution's package manager and start the server:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	yum install rabbitmq-server-3.3.4-1.noarch.rpm
 | 
						|
	systemctl start rabbitmq-server.service
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To configure your RabbitMQ server, please refer to the RabbitMQ website: [http://www.rabbitmq.com/](http://www.rabbitmq.com/ RabbitMQ website).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
rabbitmqctl is a command line tool for managing a RabbitMQ broker. It performs all actions by connecting to one of the broker's nodes.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
            rabbitmqctl list_queues
 | 
						|
            rabbitmqctl list_queues | list_exchanges| cluster_status | list_bindings | list_connections | list_consumers | status 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Example output:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
            [root@maxscale-02 MaxScale]# rabbitmqctl status
 | 
						|
            Status of node 'rabbit@maxscale-02' ...
 | 
						|
            [{pid,12251},
 | 
						|
             {running_applications,[{rabbit,"RabbitMQ","3.3.4"},
 | 
						|
                        {os_mon,"CPO  CXC 138 46","2.2.7"},
 | 
						|
                        {xmerl,"XML parser","1.2.10"},
 | 
						|
                        {mnesia,"MNESIA  CXC 138 12","4.5"},
 | 
						|
                        {sasl,"SASL  CXC 138 11","2.1.10"},
 | 
						|
                        {stdlib,"ERTS  CXC 138 10","1.17.5"},
 | 
						|
                        {kernel,"ERTS  CXC 138 10","2.14.5"}]},
 | 
						|
                         {os,{unix,linux}},
 | 
						|
                          {erlang_version,"Erlang R14B04 (erts-5.8.5) [source] [64-bit] [smp:2:2] [rq:2] [async-threads:30] [kernel-poll:true]\n"},
 | 
						|
                          ...
 | 
						|
                           {listeners,[{clustering,25672,"::"},{amqp,5672,"::"}]},
 | 
						|
                           ...
 | 
						|
                           ...done.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
                           [root@maxscale-02 MaxScale]# rabbitmqctl list_bindings
 | 
						|
                           Listing bindings ...
 | 
						|
                           x1    exchange    q1    queue    k1    []
 | 
						|
                           ...done.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Interaction with the server may require stop & reset at some point:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
            rabbitmqctl stop_app
 | 
						|
            rabbitmqctl reset 
 | 
						|
            rabbitmqctl start_app
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Step 3 - Install and test the client libraries
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The selected library for MaxScale integration of RabbitMQ is:
 | 
						|
[https://github.com/alanxz/rabbitmq-c](https://github.com/alanxz/rabbitmq-c RabbitMQ-C)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Manual software compilation
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To compile the RabbitMQ-C libraries manually:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   git clone  https://github.com/alanxz/rabbitmq-c.git
 | 
						|
   cd rabbitmq-c
 | 
						|
   cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr .
 | 
						|
   make
 | 
						|
   make install
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Please note, this will install the packages to /usr. If you do not wish to install them to this location, provide a different value for the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Setup using the EPEL repository
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Check how to configure your distribution for the EPEL repository: [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL EPEL)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Configure your repositories and install the software:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
          yum install librabbitmq.x86_64
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
you might also like to install:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    librabbitmq-tools.x86_64, librabbitmq-devel.x86_64
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Please note you may also install the rabbitmq server from the EPEL repository:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
       yum install rabbitmq-server
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Basic tests with library
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The required library librabbitmq-c is now installed and we continue with basic operations with amqp_* tools, located  in the examples/ folder of the build directory, testing client server interaction.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Please note, those example applications may not be included in the RPM library packages.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### Test 1 - create the exchange
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     [root@maxscale-02 examples]# ./amqp_exchange_declare
 | 
						|
     Usage: amqp_exchange_declare host port exchange exchangetype
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Declare the exchange:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     [root@maxscale-02 examples]# ./amqp_exchange_declare 127.0.0.1 5672 foo direct
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### Test 2 - Listen to exchange with selected binding key
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     [root@maxscale-02 examples]# ./amqp_listen
 | 
						|
     Usage: amqp_listen host port exchange bindingkey
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Start the listener:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     [root@maxscale-02 examples]# ./amqp_listen 127.0.0.1 5672 foo k1 &
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### Test 3 - Send a message …
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     [root@maxscale-02 examples]# ./amqp_sendstring
 | 
						|
     Usage: amqp_sendstring host port exchange routingkey messagebody
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     [root@maxscale-02 examples]# ./amqp_sendstring 127.0.0.1 5672 foo k1 “This is a new message”
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
... and watch the listener output
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    Delivery 1, exchange foo routingkey k1
 | 
						|
    Content-type: text/plain
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Step 4 - MaxScale integration with librabbitmq-c
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
A new filter (mqfilter.c) is implemented in order to send messages to the rabbitmq server and a message consumer (rabbitmq_consumer/consumer.c) program will get messages and store them into a MySQL/MariaDB database.
 | 
						|
A quick way to install MaxScale with the RabbitMQ filter is to go to the MaxScale source directory and run the following commands:
 | 
						|
  
 | 
						|
    mkdir build
 | 
						|
    cd build
 | 
						|
    cmake .. -DBUILD_RABBITMQ=Y
 | 
						|
    make
 | 
						|
    make install
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To build the RabbitMQ filter CMake needs an additional parameter:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	-DBUILD_RABBITMQ=Y
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If the librabbitmq-c library is manually compiled it may be necessary to manually pass the location of the libraries and header files to CMake.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Libraries:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	-DRABBITMQ_LIBRARIES=<path to RabbitMQ-c libraries>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Headers:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	-DRABBITMQ_HEADERS=<path to RabbitMQ-c headers> 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Please note, Message Queue Consumer (consumer.c) also needs to be compiled with MySQL/MariaDB client libraries in addition to the RabbitMQ-c libraries. If you have your MySQL/MariaDB client libraries and headers in non-standard locations, you can pass them manually to CMake:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Libraries:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    -DMYSQLCLIENT_LIBRARIES=<path to libraries>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Headers:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    -DMYSQLCLIENT_HEADERS=<path to headers>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The message queue consumer must be also built as a separate task, it’s not built as part of MaxScale build system. To build it, run the following commands in the rabbitmq_consumer directory in the MaxScale source folder:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    mkdir build
 | 
						|
    cd build
 | 
						|
    cmake ..
 | 
						|
    make
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To install it:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	make install
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To build packages:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	make package
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This generates RPM or DEB packages based on your system. These packages can then be installed on remote systems for easy access to the data generated by the consumer client.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Step 5 - Configure new applications
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The new filter needs to be configured in maxscale.cnf.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    [Test Service]
 | 
						|
    type=service
 | 
						|
    router=readconnroute
 | 
						|
    router_options=slave
 | 
						|
    servers=server1,server2,server3,server5,server4
 | 
						|
    user=massi
 | 
						|
    passwd=massi
 | 
						|
    filters=MQ
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    [MQ]
 | 
						|
    type=filter
 | 
						|
    module=mqfilter
 | 
						|
    exchange=x1
 | 
						|
    key=k1
 | 
						|
    queue=q1
 | 
						|
    hostname=127.0.0.1
 | 
						|
    port=5672
 | 
						|
    logging_trigger=all
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Logging triggers define whether to log all or a subset of the incoming queries using these options:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
        # log only some elements or all
 | 
						|
        logging_trigger=[all,source,schema,object]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
        # Whether to log only SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT and DELETE queries or all possible queries
 | 
						|
        logging_log_all=true|false
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
        # Log only when any of the trigger parameters match or only if all parameters match
 | 
						|
        logging_strict=true|false
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
        # specify objects
 | 
						|
        logging_object=mytable,another_table
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
        # specify logged users
 | 
						|
        logging_source_user=testuser,testuser
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
        # specify source addresses
 | 
						|
        logging_source_host=127.0.0.1,192.168.10.14
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
        # specify schemas
 | 
						|
        logging_schema=employees,orders,catalog
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Example:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    logging_trigger=object,schema,source
 | 
						|
    logging_strict=false
 | 
						|
    logging_log_all=false
 | 
						|
    logging_object=my1
 | 
						|
    logging_schema=test
 | 
						|
    logging_source_user=maxtest
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The logging result of the example is:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    if user maxtest does something, it's logged
 | 
						|
    and all queries in test schema are logged
 | 
						|
    anything targeting my1 table is logged
 | 
						|
    SELECT NOW(), SELECT MD5(“xyz)” are not logged
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Please note that if we want to log only the user ‘maxtest’ accessing the schema ‘test’ with target ‘my1’  the option logging_strict must be set to TRUE and if we want to include those selects without schema name the option logging_log_all must be set to TRUE.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The mqfilter logs into the MaxScale TRACE log information about the matched logging triggers and the message delivering:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    2014 09/03 06:22:04   Trigger is TRG_SOURCE: user: testuser = testuser
 | 
						|
    2014 09/03 06:22:04   Trigger is TRG_SCHEMA: test = test
 | 
						|
    2014 09/03 06:22:04   Trigger is TRG_OBJECT: test.t1 = t1
 | 
						|
    2014 09/03 06:22:04   Routing message to: 127.0.0.1:5672 / as guest/guest, exchange: x1<direct> key:k1 queue:q1
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The consumer application needs to be configured as well:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	#The options for the consumer are:
 | 
						|
	#hostname    RabbitMQ hostname
 | 
						|
	#port        RabbitMQ port
 | 
						|
	#vhost        RabbitMQ virtual host
 | 
						|
	#user        RabbitMQ username
 | 
						|
	#passwd    RabbitMQ password
 | 
						|
	
 | 
						|
	
 | 
						|
	#queue        Name of the queue to use
 | 
						|
	#dbserver    SQL server name
 | 
						|
	#dbport    SQL server port
 | 
						|
	#dbname    Name of the database to use
 | 
						|
	#dbuser    SQL server username
 | 
						|
	#dbpasswd    SQL server password
 | 
						|
	#logfile    Message log filename
 | 
						|
	
 | 
						|
	[consumer]
 | 
						|
	hostname=127.0.0.1
 | 
						|
	port=5672
 | 
						|
	vhost=/
 | 
						|
	user=guest
 | 
						|
	passwd=guest
 | 
						|
	queue=q1
 | 
						|
	dbserver=127.0.0.1
 | 
						|
	dbport=3308
 | 
						|
	dbname=mqpairs
 | 
						|
	dbuser=xxx
 | 
						|
	dbpasswd=yyy
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We may probably need to modify LD_LIBRARY_PATH before launching ‘consumer’:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/packages/rabbitmq-c/rabbitmq-c/librabbitmq:/packages/mariadb_client-2.0.0-Linux/lib/mariadb:/usr/lib64
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
and finally we can launch it:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	# ./consumer
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If the consumer.cnf file is not in the same directory as the binary file is, you can provide the location of the folder that it is in by passing it the -c flag followed by the path:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	# ./consumer -c path/to/file
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
and start maxScale as well
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Step 6 - Test the filter and check collected data 
 | 
						|
Assuming that MaxScale and the message consumer are successfully running let’s connect to the service with an active mqfilter:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	[root@maxscale-02 MaxScale]#  mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -P 4506 -uxxx -pyyy
 | 
						|
	...
 | 
						|
	MariaDB [(none)]> select RAND(3), RAND(5); 
 | 
						|
	+--------------------+---------------------+
 | 
						|
	| RAND(3)            | RAND(5)             |
 | 
						|
	+--------------------+---------------------+
 | 
						|
	| 0.9057697559760601 | 0.40613597483014313 |
 | 
						|
	+--------------------+---------------------+
 | 
						|
	1 row in set (0.01 sec)
 | 
						|
	
 | 
						|
	…
 | 
						|
	MariaDB [(none)]> select RAND(3544), RAND(11); 
 | 
						|
	
 | 
						|
	
 | 
						|
	
 | 
						|
we can check the consumer output in the terminal where it was started:
 | 
						|
	
 | 
						|
	--------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
						|
	Received: 1409671452|select @@version_comment limit ?
 | 
						|
	Received: 1409671452|Columns: 1
 | 
						|
	...
 | 
						|
	Received: 1409671477|select RAND(?), RAND(?)
 | 
						|
	Received: 1409671477|Columns: 2
 | 
						|
	
 | 
						|
	We query now the database for the content collected so far:
 | 
						|
	
 | 
						|
	MariaDB [(none)]> use mqpairs;
 | 
						|
	Database changed
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	
 | 
						|
	MariaDB [mqpairs]> select * from pairs;
 | 
						|
