Alice - REST Monitoring RabbitMQ

Actually I ran into the problem that when using RabbitMQ you need to monitor the server. The system utility rabbitmqctl can be run from the command line, but it could not be started from the application. Something to do with the erlang environment.

After a little googling and communication in the target forumal received a cherished link

This tool will automate server administration:
monitoring and deletion of old queues, connections and exchanges and the number of simultaneous connections.

The RabbitMQ queue server does not have an API for monitoring and statistics. The Alice module allows you to perform the entire set of REST monitoring operations:
/ conn - Current connection information
/ exchanges - Current exchanges information
/ queues - Current queues
/ users - Current users
/ bindings - Current bindings
/ control - Access to the RabbitMQ control
/ permissions - Current permissions
/ vhosts - Current vhosts

there is a possibility to manage the server: start / stop
get / put data into the queue but I have not used it yet.
