Verify version of rabbitmq

Question

How can I verify which version of rabbitmq is running on a server?

Is there a command to verify that rabbitmq is running?

Answer 1

If you have no access to rabbitmqctl or rabbitmq-server is not running, on linux do :

ls /usr/lib/rabbitmq/lib/

I got :

rabbitmq_server-3.5.6

Answer 2

On debian systems, you can just run:

dpkg-query --showformat='${Version}' --show rabbitmq-server

Answer 3

Login to management ui and in top right you can find the version. Also use the following command to find the version

# sudo bash

# rabbitmqctl status | grep rabbit

Answer 4

As Marek said on a local server, or, on a remote server (using amqplib):

from amqplib import client_0_8 as amqp
import sys

conn = amqp.Connection(host=sys.argv[1], userid="guest", password="guest", virtual_host="/", insist=False)

for k, v in conn.server_properties.items():
    print k, v

Save as checkVersion.py and run with python checkVersion.py dev.rabbitmq.com:

% python checkVersion.py dev.rabbitmq.com
