Introduction

This document provides instructions for getting started with Distributed Message Service (DMS) for RabbitMQ, including creating a RabbitMQ instance on the console and connecting to a RabbitMQ instance through an Elastic Cloud Server (ECS).

You can also create a RabbitMQ instance by calling APIs.

Procedure

Figure 1 Procedure for using DMS for RabbitMQ

Prepare the environment.
A RabbitMQ instance runs in a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). Before creating a RabbitMQ instance, ensure that a VPC is available.
Create a RabbitMQ instance.
When creating an instance, you can choose whether to enable SSL. If SSL is enabled, data is encrypted for transmission, improving data security. The SSL setting can be configured only when you create an instance. After an instance is created, the SSL setting cannot be changed.
Connect to the instance.
A client can connect to an instance with SSL or without SSL.
Configure alarm rules.
Configure alarm rules for a RabbitMQ instance to monitor the service running status.
