See the VMware Smart Assurance documentation for details on Smarts components.

host

Hostname or IP address of the RabbitMQ server to connect to.

Type	String
Required	Yes
Default	N/A

port

RabbitMQ port to connect to.

Type	Integer
Required	Yes
Default	`5672`

username

Username of the account used to connect to your RabbitMQ server.

Type	String
Required	Yes
Default	N/A

password

Password of the account used to connect to your RabbitMQ server.

Type	String
Required	If you are not using `encrypted_password`
Default	N/A

encrypted_password

If you are using an encrypted password to connect to your RabbitMQ server, enter it into this field and comment the password field. The encrypted_password property overrides password.

Type	String
Required	If you are not using `password`
Default	N/A

topic_queue_name

A list of topics for the topic queue.

Type	String
Required	No
Default	`"#"`
Valid Values	The default value `"#"` means "match all". To set a different value, use the format `emc.smarts.notification.domain.ClassName.EventName.InstanceName`.

Example

topics : ["emc.smarts.notifications.*.Router.#"],

topic_exchange

The topic exchange for the topic queue.

Type	String
Required	Yes
Default	`emc.smarts.notifications`

topic_queue_durable

Determines whether the server maintains the queue contents when it isn't in use.

Type	Boolean
Required	Yes
Default	`true`

topic_queue_exclusive

Determines whether to restrict the topic queue to the LAM's connection.

Type	Boolean
Required	Yes
Default	`false`

message_prefetch

Controls how many messages the LAM takes from the RabbitMQ queues (both topic and direct) and holds in memory as a processing buffer. Configuring this allows processes to have throttled message consumption which can ease backlog and memory consumption issues. The higher the value, the more messages held in memory.

To achieve high availability and ensure messages are processed, we advise the value of this property being higher than the default value of 0, which tells the process to take as many messages as it can.

Type	Integer
Required	Yes
Default	`0`
