RabbitMQ提供了完善的管理和监控工具，分management plugin 和 rabbitmqctl 两种类型的工具。
一. management plugin
rabbitmq-management plugin提供HTTP API来管理和监控RabbitMQ Server，具体包含如下功能：
Declare，list and delete exchanges，queues，bindings，users，virtual hosts and permissions。
Monitor queue length，message rates globally and per channel，data rates per connection，etc。
Send and receive messages。
Monitor Erlang processes，file descriptors，memory use。
Export / inport object definitions to JSON。
Force close connections，purge queues。
management plugin默认就在RabbitMQ的发布版本中，只需要enable就可以了，执行以下命令：
$ sudo rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
看到这一幕后，重启RabbitMQ就可以了。需要注意的是，mochiweb 必须得有，mochiweb是一个用来构建Web应用的轻便，高效的HTTP应用框架的Erlang库。
下面可以通过以下两种方式来访问管理和监控界面：
1. Web UI
打开浏览器，输入 http://[server-name]:15672/ 如 http://localhost:15672/ ，会要求输入用户名和密码，用默认的guest/guest即可，确认后会出现下面界面：
接下来你就可以尽情掌控RabbitMQ了。management UI是static HTML页面，其通过Javascript查询HTTP API得到实时数据。实质上Web UI最终也是调用的Management command line tool。
2. 命令行工具
Management command line tool（rabbitmqadmin）拥有跟Web UI同样的功能，可能还更便于脚本使用。rabbitmqadmin仅仅是一个定制的HTTP客户端，如果想在自己的程序中引入rabbitmqadmin的话，可以直接使用HTTP API。rabbitmqadmin可以在http://server-name:15672/cli页面下载。
下载rabbitmqadmin.txt后，将其重命名为rabbitmqadmin，拷贝到 /usr/local/bin 或者你想要的路径，并增加可执行权限。使用：
$ sudo rabbitmqadmin --help
可以查看使用指南。
二. rabbitmqctl
rabbitmqctl是一个简单的命令行工具用于管理RabbitMQ Server，在shell中执行如下命令，能看到各种命令简价：
Usage:
rabbitmqctl [-n <node>] [-q] <command> [<command options>]
Options:
-n node
-q
Default node is "rabbit@server", where server is the local host. On a host named "server.example.com", the node name of the RabbitMQ Erlang node will usually be rabbit@server (unless RABBITMQ_NODENAME has been set to some non-default value at broker startup time). The output of hostname -s is usually the correct suffix to use after the "@" sign. See rabbitmq-server(1) for
details of configuring the RabbitMQ broker.
Quiet output mode is selected with the "-q" flag. Informational messages are
suppressed when quiet mode is in effect.
Commands:
stop [<pid_file>]
stop_app
start_app
wait <pid_file>
reset
force_reset
rotate_logs <suffix>
join_cluster <clusternode>[<--ram>]
cluster_status
change_cluster_node_type disc | ram
forget_cluster_node [--offline]
update_cluster_nodes clusternode
add_user <username> <password>
delete_user <username>
change_password <username> <newpassword>
clear_password <username>
set_user_tags <username> <tag> ...
list_users
add_vhost <vhostpath>
delete_vhost <vhostpath>
list_vhosts [<vhostinfoitem> ...]
set_permissions [-p <vhostpath>] <user> <conf> <write> <read>
clear_permissions [-p <vhostpath>] <username>
list_permissions [-p <vhostpath>]
list_user_permissions <username>
set_parameter [-p <vhostpath>] <component_name> <name> <value>
clear_parameter [-p <vhostpath>] <component_name> <key>
list_parameters [-p <vhostpath>]
set_policy [-p <vhostpath>] <name> <pattern> <definition> [<priority>]
clear_policy [-p <vhostpath>] <name>
list_policies [-p <vhostpath>]
list_queues [-p <vhostpath>] [<queueinfoitem> ...]
list_exchanges [-p <vhostpath>] [<exchangeinfoitem> ...]
list_bindings [-p <vhostpath>] [<bindinginfoitem> ...]
list_connections [<connectioninfoitem> ...]
list_channels [<channelinfoitem> ...]
list_consumers [-p <vhostpath>]
status
environment
report
eval <expr>
close_connection <connectionpid> <explanation>
trace_on [-p <vhost>]
trace_off [-p <vhost>]
set_vm_memory_high_watermark <fraction>
<vhostinfoitem> must be a member of the list [name, tracing].
The list_queues, list_exchanges and list_bindings commands accept an optional virtual host parameter for which to display results. The default value is "/".
<queueinfoitem> must be a member of the list [name, durable, auto_delete, arguments, policy, pid, owner_pid, exclusive_consumer_pid, exclusive_consumer_tag, messages_ready, messages_unacknowledged, messages, consumers, active_consumers, memory, slave_pids, synchronised_slave_pids].
<exchangeinfoitem> must be a member of the list [name, type, durable, auto_delete, internal, arguments, policy].
<bindinginfoitem> must be a member of the list [source_name, source_kind, destination_name, destination_kind, routing_key, arguments].
<connectioninfoitem> must be a member of the list [pid, name, port, host, peer_port, peer_host, ssl, ssl_protocol, ssl_key_exchange, ssl_cipher, ssl_hash, peer_cert_subject, peer_cert_issuer, peer_cert_validity, last_blocked_by, last_blocked_age, state, channels, protocol, auth_mechanism, user, vhost, timeout, frame_max, client_properties, recv_oct, recv_cnt, send_oct, send_cnt, send_pend].
<channelinfoitem> must be a member of the list [pid, connection, name, number, user, vhost, transactional, confirm, consumer_count, messages_unacknowledged, messages_uncommitted, acks_uncommitted, messages_unconfirmed, prefetch_count, client_flow_blocked].
