RabbitMQ

Available Versions

The following versions of RabbitMQ are currently available:

Version	Status	End-Of-Life Date	Deprecation Date
3.13	Available	July 2025	October 2025
4.0	Available	N/A	N/A

For databases on EOL versions, Aptible will prevent new databases from being provisioned and mark existing database as DEPRECATED on the deprecation date listed above. While existing databases will not be affected, we recommend end-of-life databases to be upgraded. The latest version offered on Aptible will always be available for provisioning, regardless of end-of-life date.

Connecting to RabbitMQ

Aptible RabbitMQ Databases require authentication and SSL to connect.

RabbitMQ Databases use a valid certificate for their host, so you’re encouraged to verify the certificate when connecting.

Connecting to the RabbitMQ Management Interface

Aptible RabbitMQ Databases provide access to the management interface.

Typically, you should access the management interface via a Database Tunnel. For example:

aptible db:tunnel "$DB_HANDLE" --type management

Connecting to RabbitMQ Prometheus

You can create a Database Tunnel to connect to the Prometheus endpoint locally, or use Prometheus with Grafana as a monitoring solution.

aptible db:tunnel "$DB_HANDLE" --type prometheus

Note that the Prometheus plugin on Aptible is configured with HTTP Authentication, so you will need to provide the username and password to reach the endpoint.

Modifying RabbitMQ Parameters & Policies

RabbitMQ parameters can be updated via the management API and changes will persist across Database restarts.

The log level of a RabbitMQ Database can be changed by contacting Aptible Support, but other configuration file values cannot be changed at this time.

Connection Security

Aptible RabbitMQ Databases support connections via the following protocols:

• For RabbitMQ version 3.13, 4.0: TLSv1.2, TLSv1.3
