Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ version 4.2 brokers now include a Prometheus plugin that exposes metrics endpoints in Prometheus text format. This facilitates direct integration with Prometheus-compatible monitoring tools without additional intermediaries.
Metrics covering broker, queue, and connection aspects can be scraped, enabling users to incorporate RabbitMQ metrics into existing Prometheus-based stacks such as Grafana dashboards or Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, enhancing observability of messaging infrastructure.
