NAME

       rabbitmq-env.conf — environment variables used by RabbitMQ server

DESCRIPTION

       rabbitmq-env.conf  contains  environment  variables  that  override the defaults built in to the RabbitMQ
       scripts and CLI tools.

       The file is interpreted by the system shell, and so should consist of a  sequence  of  shell  environment
       variable  definitions.   Normal  shell syntax is permitted (since the file is sourced using the shell "."
       operator), including line comments starting with "#".

       In order of preference, the startup scripts get their values from the environment, from rabbitmq-env.conf
       and finally  from  the  built-in  default  values.   For  example,  for  the  RABBITMQ_NODENAME  setting,
       RABBITMQ_NODENAME  from  the environment is checked first.  If it is absent or equal to the empty string,
       then NODENAME from rabbitmq-env.conf is checked.  If it is also absent or set equal to the  empty  string
       then the default value from the startup script is used.

       The  variable  names  in  rabbitmq-env.conf  are always equal to the environment variable names, with the
       "RABBITMQ_"  prefix   removed:   RABBITMQ_NODE_PORT   from   the   environment   becomes   NODE_PORT   in
       rabbitmq-env.conf.

EXAMPLES

       Below  is an example of a minimalistic rabbitmq-env.conf file that overrides the default node name prefix
       from "rabbit" to "hare".

             # I am a complete rabbitmq-env.conf file.
             # Comment lines start with a hash character.
             # This is a /bin/sh script file - use ordinary envt var syntax
             NODENAME=hare

       In  the  below  rabbitmq-env.conf   file   RabbitMQ   configuration   file   location   is   changed   to
       "/data/services/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf".

             # I am a complete rabbitmq-env.conf file.
             # Comment lines start with a hash character.
             # This is a /bin/sh script file - use ordinary envt var syntax
             CONFIG_FILE=/data/services/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf
