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

On debian systems, you can just run:

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

Answer 2

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 3

sudo rabbitmqctl status

and look for line that looks like that:

{rabbit,"RabbitMQ","2.6.1"},

Answer 4

I use following command to trim output down to version,

rabbitmqctl status | grep "{rabbit,\"RabbitMQ\""

Output:

  {rabbit,"RabbitMQ","3.7.3"},

Answer 5

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 6

To get RMQ version using C#

using (var connection = connectionFactory.CreateConnection())
{
    if (connection.ServerProperties.ContainsKey("version"))
        Console.WriteLine("Version={0}",
            Encoding.UTF8.GetString((byte[])connection.ServerProperties["version"]));
}

Output:

Version=3.6.3
