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 "[email protected]", where server is the local host. On a host named "server.example.com", the node name of the RabbitMQ Erlang node will usually be [email protected] (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.

stop [<pid_file>]
stop_app
start_app
wait <pid_file>

<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].
