# RabbitMQ Provider

[RabbitMQ](http://www.rabbitmq.com) is an AMQP message broker server. The
RabbitMQ provider exposes resources used to manage the configuration of
resources in a RabbitMQ server.

Use the navigation to the left to read about the available resources.

## Example Usage

The following is a minimal example:

```hcl
# Configure the RabbitMQ provider
provider "rabbitmq" {
  endpoint = "http://127.0.0.1"
  username = "guest"
  password = "guest"
}

# Create a virtual host
resource "rabbitmq_vhost" "vhost_1" {
  name = "vhost_1"
}
```

## Requirements

The RabbitMQ management plugin must be enabled to use this provider. You can
enable the plugin by doing something similar to:

```
$ sudo rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
```

## Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

* `endpoint` - (Required) The HTTP URL of the management plugin on the
  RabbitMQ server. The RabbitMQ management plugin *must* be enabled in order
