Billy Olsen e0a2829ab8 Install python3-croniter for nrpe checks
Change ab79c3ee introduced the croniter library for interacting
with cron. However, the dependent package was not included in
a list of installation packages nor installed on the upgrade
path. This patch adds the python3-croniter package for upgrade
and installation paths to allow the nrpe checks to continue
to function.

README.md

Overview

RabbitMQ is an implementation of AMQP, the emerging standard for high performance enterprise messaging. The RabbitMQ server is a robust and scalable implementation of an AMQP broker.

The rabbitmq-server charm deploys RabbitMQ server and provides AMQP services to those charms that support the rabbitmq interface. The current list of such charms can be obtained from the Charm Store (the charms officially supported by the OpenStack Charms project are published by 'openstack-charmers').

Usage

Configuration

This section covers common and/or important configuration options. See file config.yaml for the full list of options, along with their descriptions and default values. See the Juju documentation for details on configuring applications.

min-cluster-size

The min-cluster-size option sets the number of rabbitmq-server units required to form its cluster. It is best practice to use this option as doing so ensures that the charm will wait until the cluster is up before accepting relations from other client applications.

source

The source option sets an alternate software source and can be passed during or after deployment. The default behaviour is to use the Ubuntu package archive for the underlying machine series. The most common value is a UCA cloud pocket (e.g. 'cloud:bionic-train'). In the case of a non-OpenStack project, there is no guarantee that a candidate will be found in the stated UCA pocket.

Note: Changing the value of this option post-deployment will trigger a software upgrade. See OpenStack upgrade in the OpenStack Charms Deployment Guide.

Deployment

To deploy a single rabbitmq-server unit:

juju deploy rabbitmq-server

To make use of AMQP services, simply add a relation between rabbitmq-server and an application that supports the rabbitmq interface. For instance:

juju add-relation rabbitmq-server:amqp nova-cloud-controller:amqp

High availability

When more than one unit is deployed the charm will bring up a native RabbitMQ HA active/active cluster. The min-cluster-size option should be used (see description above).

See Infrastructure high availability in the OpenStack Charms Deployment Guide for details.

TLS

Communication between the AMQP message queue and client services (OpenStack applications) can be TLS-encrypted. There are two methods for managing keys and certificates:

  1. with Vault
  2. manually (via charm options)

Vault can set up private keys and server certificates for an application. It also stores a central CA certificate for the cloud. See the vault charm for more information.

Vault is the recommended method and is what will be covered here.

The private key and server certificate (and its signing) are managed via a relation made to the vault application:

juju add-relation rabbitmq-server:certificates vault:certificates

Actions

This section lists Juju actions supported by the charm. Actions allow specific operations to be performed on a per-unit basis.

  • check-queues
  • cluster-status
  • complete-cluster-series-upgrade
  • list-unconsumed-queues
  • pause
  • resume

To display action descriptions run juju actions --schema rabbitmq-server. If the charm is not deployed then see file actions.yaml.
