Use the rabbitmq_config Chef InSpec audit resource to test configuration data for the RabbitMQ daemon located at /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.config on Linux and Unix platforms.

Availability

Installation

This resource is distributed along with Chef InSpec itself. You can use it automatically.

Version

This resource first became available in v1.20.0 of InSpec.

Syntax

A rabbitmq_config resource block declares the RabbitMQ configuration data to be tested:

describe rabbitmq_config.params('rabbit', 'ssl_listeners') do
  it { should cmp 5671 }
end

where

• params is the list of parameters configured in the RabbitMQ config file
• { should cmp 5671 } tests the value of rabbit.ssl_listeners as read from rabbitmq.config versus the value declared in the test

Examples

The following examples show how to use this Chef InSpec audit resource.

Test the list of TCP listeners

describe rabbitmq_config.params('rabbit', 'tcp_listeners') do
  it { should eq [5672] }
end
