RabbitMQ management web console doesn't show queues or exchanges

Question

I've got rabbitmq 2.8.2 set up with the web management interface running. The Queues and Exchanges show no data.

rabbitmqctl list_queues works and shows my queues.

I've done rabbitmqctl stop_app, start_app.. and also service rabbitmq-server restart.

Any idea how to get the queue & exchange details to populate?

Answer 1

I had removed the guest user and created a new user for myself. My new user did not have permission to access the / vhost. Adding that permission fixed my issue.

Answer 2

Rabbitmq users only have permission to view the queues that they created by default. Also if you want the user to have access to the management console you need to grant the right privileges.

To solve this problem I ran:

rabbitmqctl set_user_tags <user> management

There is more information on setting up the correct permissions for accessing the management console on RabbitMQs website: https://www.rabbitmq.com/management.html
