Configuration

The list of RabbitMQ sources and corresponding AWS target resources are stored in mapping file.

Mapping file

Sample of RabbitMQ -> SNS mapping file. All fields are required. Samples are located in examples directory.

[
  {
    "source" : {
      "type" : "RabbitMQ",
      "name" : "test-rabbit",
      "connection" : "amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/",
      "topic" : "amq.topic",
      "queue" : "test-queue",
      "routingKeys" : ["#"]
    },
    "destination" : {
      "type" : "SNS",
      "name" : "test-sns",
      "target" : "arn:aws:sns:eu-west-1:XXXXXXXX:test-forwarder"
    }
  }
]

Environment variables

Forwarder uses the following environment variables:

export MAPPING_FILE=/config/mapping.json
export AWS_REGION=region
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=access_key
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=secret_key

Using TLS with rabbit

Specify amqps for the rabbit connection ub the mapping file:

 "connection" : "amqps://guest:guest@localhost:5671/",

Additional environment variables for working with TLS and rabbit:

export CA_CERT=/certs/ca_certificate.pem
export CERT_FILE=/certs/client_certificate.pem
export KEY_FILE=/certs/client_key.pem

Amazon configuration

When making subscription to SNS -> SQS/HTTP/HTTPS set Raw message delivery to ensure that json messages are not escaped.

Supervisor

Supervisor is a module which starts the consumer->forwarder pairs. Exposed endpoints:

  • APP_URL/health - returns status if all consumers are running
  • APP_URL/restart - restarts all consumer->forwarder pairs
