amqpc's Introduction

amqpc

amqpc is a tool to test your AMQP broker.
It has been developed and tested with RabbitMQ but any AMQP broker should work.
We put it together very quickly to benchmark and test our RabbitMQ HA Cluster, so it might be unstable.

$ amqpc -u amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/ -p your-exchange routing-key your-message
$ # Start 10 producers
$ amqpc -u amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/ -g 10 -p your-exchange routing-key your-message
$ # Start 10 producers, each one will be sending 100 at a rate of 1msg/s
