<title>Configure the Oslo RPC messaging system</title>
<para>OpenStack projects use an open standard for messaging
middleware known as AMQP. This messaging middleware enables the
OpenStack services that run on multiple servers to talk to each
other. OpenStack Oslo RPC supports three implementations of AMQP:
<application>RabbitMQ</application>,
<application>Qpid</application>, and
<application>ZeroMQ</application>.</para>
<section xml:id="networking-configuration-rabbitmq">
<title>Configure RabbitMQ</title>
<para>OpenStack Oslo RPC uses <application>RabbitMQ</application>
by default. Use these options to configure the
<application>RabbitMQ</application> message system. The
<option>rpc_backend</option> option is optional as long as
<application>RabbitMQ</application> is the default messaging
system. However, if it is included the configuration, you must
set it to
<literal>neutron.openstack.common.rpc.impl_kombu</literal>.</para>
<programlisting language="ini">
rpc_backend=neutron.openstack.common.rpc.impl_kombu
</programlisting>
<para>Use these options to configure the
<application>RabbitMQ</application> messaging system. You can
configure messaging communication for different installation
scenarios, tune retries for RabbitMQ, and define the size of the
RPC thread pool. To monitor notifications through RabbitMQ, you
must set the <option>notification_driver</option> option to
<literal>neutron.notifier.rabbit_notifier</literal> in the
<filename>neutron.conf</filename> file:</para>

<section xml:id="networking-configuration-qpid">
<title>Configure Qpid</title>
<para>Use these options to configure the
<application>Qpid</application> messaging system for OpenStack
Oslo RPC. <application>Qpid</application> is not the default
messaging system, so you must enable it by setting the
<option>rpc_backend</option> option in the
<filename>neutron.conf</filename> file:</para>
<programlisting language="ini">
rpc_backend=neutron.openstack.common.rpc.impl_qpid
</programlisting>
<para>This critical option points the compute nodes to the
<application>Qpid</application> broker (server). Set the
<option>qpid_hostname</option> option to the host name where
the broker runs in the <filename>neutron.conf</filename>
file.</para>
<note>
<para>The <option>--qpid_hostname</option> option accepts a host
name or IP address value.</para>
</note>
<programlisting language="ini">
qpid_hostname=hostname.example.com
</programlisting>
<para>If the <application>Qpid</application> broker listens on a
port other than the AMQP default of <literal>5672</literal>, you
must set the <option>qpid_port</option> option to that
value:</para>
<programlisting language="ini">
qpid_port=12345
</programlisting>
<para>If you configure the <application>Qpid</application> broker
to require authentication, you must add a user name and password
to the configuration:</para>
<programlisting language="ini">
qpid_username=username
qpid_password=password
</programlisting>
<para>By default, TCP is used as the transport. To enable SSL, set
the <option>qpid_protocol</option> option:</para>
<programlisting language="ini">
qpid_protocol=ssl
</programlisting>
<para>Use these additional options to configure the Qpid messaging
driver for OpenStack Oslo RPC. These options are used
infrequently.</para>

<para>Use these options to configure the

OpenStack Oslo RPC. <application>ZeroMQ</application> is not the
default messaging system, so you must enable it by setting the
<option>rpc_backend</option> option in the
