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

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 3.5, 3.7, 3.9: TLSv1.0, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2
  • For RabbitMQ version 3.12: TLSv1.2, TLSv1.3
