RabbitMQ Configuration
Want to grasp the nuances of RabbitMQ? If so, you’re at the right place. RabbitMQ can help to transfer tasks into queues and get them processed at a time or as parallel processing through asynchronous messaging, thereby allowing web servers to respond quickly. In this blog, we can learn how to configure RabbitMQ with Magento 2.
What is RabbitMQ?
Magento 2 RabbitMQ works as a message intermediator between sender and receiver. It is an open-source communication broker that provides your applications with a common platform while offering a secure and convenient messaging system. It offers a highly reliable, scalable, and portable messaging system. Magento 2 added asynchronous messaging capabilities with the implementation of RabbitMQ. Message Queuing allows web servers to respond quickly to requests and represent them to a third party for processing rather than perform the task instantaneously. This helps in handling multiple, resource-intensive requests efficiently. Several activities are being performed within a website’s architecture as a customer places an order from the website. These are:
- Generating the order
- Taking payment
- Stock management
- Enabling email and text communications
- Sending/Receiving order data to SAP/CRM/ERP systems
When all these activities are performed in real-time, more time is consumed to complete the order process, which can have a negative impact on business. Here comes RabbitMQ, which can help to transfer most of these tasks into queues and get them processed at a time or as parallel processing through asynchronous messaging, thereby allowing web servers to respond quickly. RabbitMq is a message queue system. It will process at a time or in parallel. If anything goes wrong, it will not directly impact the Magento Instance.
Benefits of RabbitMQ
- Asynchronous Messaging
- Highly Available Queues
- Management UI
- Plugin System
The following diagram illustrates the Message Queue Framework:A publisher is a component that sends messages to an exchange. It knows which exchange to publish to and the format of the messages it sends. An exchange receives messages from publishers and sends them to a queue. A queue is a buffer that stores messages. A consumer receives messages. It knows which queue to consume. It can map the processors of the message to a specific queue.
Connect RabbitMQ to Magento Open Source or Adobe Commerce
Here’s the process to set up RabbitMQ to our Magento instance:
STEP -1
Add Queue Configuration
Add a queue section in the /app/etc/env.php file so that it is similar to the following:
‘queue’ =>
array (
‘amqp’ =>
array (
‘host’ => ‘192.XXX.XX.XX’, (This needs to be updated as per your project IP)
‘port’ => ‘15672’, (Port on which RabbitMQ runs. 15672 is default port)
‘user’ =>’test’,
‘password’ => ‘magento’,
‘virtualhost’ => ‘/’
),
),
Step 2
Open the terminal and change the directory to your Magento root path.
Step 3
Add RabbitMQ user
Run the below command to set the RabbitMQ user.Syntax :
sudo rabbitmqctl add_user {user_name} {passwd}Sample: sudo rabbitmqctl add_user test magento
Step 4
Set RabbitMQ user Role
Run the below command to set the RabbitMQ user role.
Syntax : sudo rabbitmqctl set_user_tags {user_name} administrator
Sample: sudo rabbitmqctl set_user_tags test administrator
Step 5 Set RabbitMQ User Role Permissions
Run the below command to set the RabbitMQ user role permissions.
Syntax : sudo rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p / {user_name} “.*” “.*” “.*”
Sample: sudo rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p / test “.*” “.*” “.*”
Step 6
Then, run bin/Magento setup: upgrade to apply the changes.
Step 7
To access the RabbitMQ Admin-
Use this URL to access the RabbitMQ AdminSyntax: http://Your_Server_IP:15672/Sample:http://192.XXX.XX.XX:15672/ Enter the Username and Password to log into RabbitMQ Admin.
Hurray! You have now connected the Magento instance and the RabbitMQ. You are all set to begin the message queue consumers!
