Introduction

Monitors node-level events in a RabbitMQ cluster during an experiment. This check observes whether specific node events occur — such as a node going down or a node alarm being raised — and evaluates them against an expected change list.

This action targets nodes, not queues. For queue-level monitoring (message backlog), use Check Queue Backlog instead.

Use Cases

  • Verify that a node-down event is detected when a RabbitMQ node pod is killed or network-isolated.
  • Confirm that a node alarm is raised when memory or disk pressure is injected on a RabbitMQ node.
  • Assert that no unexpected node-level disruptions occur during a queue-level fault injection.

Parameters

ParameterDescriptionDefault
DurationHow long the check runs. The check continuously polls node state for this duration.30s
Expected Changes(optional) Which node-level events to watch for. Valid values: Node down (node down), Node alarm raised (node alarm raised). Multiple values can be selected. If left empty, any node-level change triggers.
Change Check ModeHow the expected changes are evaluated. All the time (allTheTime): every poll must detect the change. At least once (atLeastOnce): the change must be observed at least once during the duration.all-time
