RabbitMQ Configuration

rabbitmq提供三种方式来定制化server

1、environment variables：定义端口、文件路径、服务名称等，可以使用shell和rabbitmq-env.conf定义； 
2、configuration file：定义权限、集群、插件等，可以使用rabbitmq.config配置； 
3、runtime parameters ：运行时参数，如集群设置等； 
大多数设置使用第一、二中设置；

config file location

verify configuration(how to find config file location) 
the active configuration file can be verified by inspecting rabbitmq log file,it will show up in the log file at the top.

Customize Rabbitmq Environment(unix) 
You can creat/edit rabbitmq-env.conf to define enviroment variables. Its location is configurable using the RABBITMQ_CONF_EVN_FILE environment variable. 
You can use the standard variable names but drop the RABBITMQ_ prefix in rabbitmq-env.conf.

RabbitMQ Environment Variables 
RabbitMQ environment variable names have the prefix RABBITMQ_ . A typical variable called RABBTIMQ_variable_name is set as follows: 
a shell environment variable called RABBITMQ_variable_name is used if this is defined; 
otherwise, a variable called variable_name is used if this is set in the rabbitmq-env.conf; 
otherwise, a system-specified default value is used.

name	default	description
RABBITMQ_NODE_PORT	5672
RABBITMQ_DIST_PORT	RABBITMQ_NODE_PORT+20000	Port used for inter-node and CLI tool communition
RABBITMQ_NODENAME	UNIX:rabbit@$HOSTNAME	the node name must be unique per erlang-node-and-machine
RABBITMQ_CONF_ENV_FILE	UNIX:$RABBITMQ_HOME/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-env.conf	Port used for inter-node and CLI tool communition
RABBITMQ_CONFIG_FILE	/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq	the rabbitmq.config file location,erlang 在运行时会自动添加.config后缀到这个变量值后面

Configuration File

该配置文件运行自定义rabbitmq的server，erlang，plugins，文件格式是一个标准的erlang配置文件格式，rabbitmq server源文件有一个配置文件实例，名称为：rabbitmq.config.example
