@akrzos yes. i have installed grafana for rabbitmq monitoring with this plugin. i am getting data for rabbitmq but i dont know how to see the message in queue for rabbitmq.

Hi, I have the same problem. Everything works great except msg_count metric. It shows 0 for each queue. If you need any additional information please let me know.

@tomaszwostal Try adjusting which vhost your collecting that data from. I am pretty sure the vhost configured in this plugin is set to '/' - https://github.com/akrzos/collectd-rabbitmq-monitoring/blob/master/collectd_rabbitmq_monitoring/__init__.py#L125

@akrzos I'm collecting data from '/'. I'm able to graph all metric except msg_count. When I use curl to get number of messages in queue I'm able to get the proper result.
curl -s -u username:password http://hostname:15672/api/queues/%2F/my_queue | jq .messages 43
To get proper results I had to change this piecie of code:

# Configurable per-queue message counts
    for queue_name in queues_to_count:
        messages_detail = None
        try:
            messages_detail = cl.get_queue('/', queue_name)['messages']
        except HTTPError as err:
            collectd.error(
                'Error Opening Queue [{}] details: {}'
                .format(queue_name, err))
        if messages_detail is None:
            count = 0
        else:
            count = messages_detail

Got it pyrabbit might have changed since requirements.txt doesn't lock the pyrabbit version down.
