RabbitMQ

Use this node to publish incoming message data to a RabbitMQ exchange — for example, routing device telemetry to microservices via a topic exchange, delivering alarms to severity-specific queues, or integrating with legacy AMQP-based systems.

Configuration

Exchange and routing

Exchange name pattern — target exchange. Leave empty to use the default exchange. Supports templatization.
Routing key pattern — routing key for message distribution. Supports templatization. Leave empty for fanout exchanges.
Message properties — predefined AMQP properties:

Value	Persistence	Content type
(empty)	Non-persistent	None
`BASIC`	Non-persistent	None
`TEXT_PLAIN`	Non-persistent	text/plain
`MINIMAL_BASIC`	Non-persistent	None
`MINIMAL_PERSISTENT_BASIC`	Persistent	None
`PERSISTENT_BASIC`	Persistent	None
`PERSISTENT_TEXT_PLAIN`	Persistent	text/plain

Connection

Host — required. RabbitMQ server hostname or IP.
Port — AMQP port. Default: 5672.
Virtual host — RabbitMQ virtual host. Default: /.
Username / Password — broker authentication. Default: guest/guest.

Advanced

Automatic recovery — reconnect and restore topology automatically after network failures. Default: false.
Connection timeout (ms) — TCP connection establishment timeout. Default: 60000.
Handshake timeout (ms) — AMQP handshake timeout after TCP connects. Default: 10000.
Client properties — custom key-value metadata sent to RabbitMQ during connection (appears in the management UI).

Outgoing message format

On Success: message data and metadata are not modified.

On Failure: the error key is added to message metadata in the format class ExceptionClass: message.

Message processing algorithm

Resolve exchange and routing key patterns from message data and metadata.
Convert message data to bytes (UTF-8) and publish to RabbitMQ with the configured properties.
On success: forward the unchanged message via Success.
On error: add error to metadata; route via Failure.

Output connections

Connection	Condition
`Success`	Message published. Outgoing message is unchanged.
`Failure`	Broker rejected the message, invalid exchange/routing, connection error, or unexpected error.

Examples

Example 1 — Publish telemetry with device-type routing

Data: { "temperature": 25.5, "humidity": 60.2 } | Metadata: { "deviceType": "TH-Sensor" }.

{
  "exchangeNamePattern": "telemetry",
  "routingKeyPattern": "${deviceType}",
  "messageProperties": "PERSISTENT_TEXT_PLAIN",
  "host": "rabbitmq.example.com",
  "port": 5672,
  "virtualHost": "/",
  "username": "iot-user",
  "password": "secure-password",
  "automaticRecoveryEnabled": true,
  "connectionTimeout": 60000,
  "handshakeTimeout": 10000,
  "clientProperties": {}
}

Result: message published to telemetry exchange with routing key TH-Sensor, persistent. Routes via Success.

Example 2 — Dynamic exchange and routing key from alarm data

Data: { "type": "HighTemperature", "severity": "CRITICAL" } | Metadata: { "deviceType": "temperature-sensor" }.

{
  "exchangeNamePattern": "alarms-$[severity]",
  "routingKeyPattern": "alarm.$[type].${deviceType}",
  "messageProperties": "PERSISTENT_BASIC",
  "host": "rabbitmq.example.com",
  "port": 5672,
  "virtualHost": "/iot",
  "username": "alarm-publisher",
  "password": "secure-password",
  "automaticRecoveryEnabled": true,
  "connectionTimeout": 60000,
  "handshakeTimeout": 10000,
  "clientProperties": {}
}

Result: published to exchange alarms-CRITICAL with routing key alarm.HighTemperature.temperature-sensor. Routes via Success.
