[ops] [kolla] RabbitMQ High Availability

 After reading more I realize that "expires" is also set in ms. So it looks like the correct settings are:

message-ttl: 60000
expires: 120000

This would expire messages in 10 minutes and queues in 20 minutes.

The only remaining question is, how can I specify these in a variable without generating the "not a valid message TTL" error?

  Update: I googled around and found this: https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/MODULES-2986

Apparently the " | int " isn't working. I tried '60000' and "60000" but that didn't make a difference. In desperation I tried this:

 {"vhost": "/", "name": "notifications-expire", "pattern": "^(notifications|versioned_notifications).*", "apply-to": "queues", "definition": {"message-ttl":60000,"expires":1200}, "priority":0},

 That works, but I'd prefer to use a variable. Has anyone done this successfully? Also, am I understanding correctly that "message-ttl" is set in milliseconds and "expires" is set in seconds? Or do I need to use ms for "expires" too?

  After digging further I realized that I'm not setting TTL; only queue expiration. Here's what I see in the GUI when I look at affected queues:

Policy notifications-expire
Effective policy definition expires: 1200

This is what I have in definitions.json.j2:

{"vhost": "/", "name": "notifications-expire", "pattern": "^(notifications|versioned_notifications).*", "apply-to": "queues", "definition": {"expires":1200}, "priority":0},

I tried this to set both:

{"vhost": "/", "name": "notifications-expire", "pattern": "^(notifications|versioned_notifications).*", "apply-to": "queues", "definition": {"message-ttl":"{{ rabbitmq_message_ttl | int }}","expires":1200}, "priority":0},

But the RMQ containers restart every 60 seconds and puke this into the log:

[error] <0.322.0> CRASH REPORT Process <0.322.0> with 0 neighbours exited with reason: {error,<<"<<\"Validation failed\\n\\n<<\\\"600\\\">> is not a valid message TTL\\n (//notifications-expire)\">>">>} in application_master:init/4 line 138

After reading the doc on TTL: https://www.rabbitmq.com/ttl.html I realized that the TTL is set in ms, so I tried "rabbitmq_message_ttl: 60000"

but that only changes the number in the error:

[error] <0.318.0> CRASH REPORT Process <0.318.0> with 0 neighbours exited with reason: {error,<<"<<\"Validation failed\\n\\n<<\\\"60000\\\">> is not a valid message TTL\\n (//notifications-expire)\">>">>} in application_master:init/4 line 138

What am I missing?

In the web interface(RabbitMQ 3.8.23, not using Kolla), when looking at the queue you will see the "Policy" listed by name, and "Effective policy definition".
 
You can either view the policy definition, and the arguments for the definitions applied, or "effective policy definition" should show you the list.
 
 

 
 
It may be relevant to note: "Each exchange or queue will have at most one policy matching" - https://www.rabbitmq.com/parameters.html#how-policies-work
 
 
I've added a similar comment to the linked patchset.

 This is very helpful. Thank you! It appears that I have successfully set the expire time to 1200, because I no longer see unconsumed messages lingering in my queues, but it's not obvious how to verify. In the web interface, when I look at the queues, I see things like policy, state, features and consumers, but I don't see a timeout or expire value, nor do I find the number 1200 anywhere. Where should I be looking in the web interface to verify that I set the expire time correctly? Or do I need to use the CLI?

 John Garbutt proposed a few patches for RabbitMQ in kolla, including
 this: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/kolla-ansible/+/822191
 
 https://review.opendev.org/q/hashtag:%2522rabbitmq%2522+(status:open+OR+status:merged)+project:openstack/kolla-ansible
 
 Note that they are currently untested.
