Mastering RabbitMQ

Plugin configuration

As we know from Chapter 2, Configuring RabbitMQ, the configuration file locates the plugin-related configuration. The following table shows the plugin-related configuration parameters in the RabbitMQ configuration file:

Name	Default Value	Description
rabbitmq_plugins_dir	$RABBITMQ_HOME/plugins	The location where plugins of RabbitMQ Server are located.
rabbitmq_plugins_expand_dir	$RABBITMQ_MNESIA_BASE/$RABBITMQ_NODENAME-plugins-expand	The location where RabbitMQ expands—plugins are zip files with .ez extension—enabled plugins when starting the server.
