node-amqpsnoop v0.0.1

Overview

usage: amqpsnoop [-h host] [-r routekey] [-f filter...]

Snoops AMQP messages sent to routekey using broker . All messages must be JSON-encoded objects. The following options may be specified:

-h host        hostname of AMQP broker to use (default: localhost)

-r routekey    routekey to bind to (default: "#")

-f filter      filter expression to invoke on each message
               Multiple filters may be specified.  Each one is a 
               chunk of JavaScript code to be executed with each 
               message bound to variable "msg".  The message is 
               only printed if all filters return true.

-o format      output messages with the given format
               Valid values are "inspect" (uses sys.inspect, the)
               default), "json" and "json0" (JSON with no
               indentation).
