Chapter 3. Using the command line interface
The command line interface (CLI) allows interaction with the message broker by use of an interactive shell. You can manage broker actions, configure messages, add users and roles to files and enter other useful commands by using the CLI.
You can use the CLI to interact with the broker in a Bash or Zsh shell, or a custom artemis
shell. The same commands are available in each shell. By default, the artemis
shell has built-in auto-completion of commands and command parameters. You can add auto-completion of the CLI commands and command parameters to a Bash or Zsh shell also.
3.1. Using the CLI in an artemis
shell
The artemis
shell interface provides auto-completion of commands and parameters that can be used with the artemis
command. The shell also reuses the connection information provided, such as the broker URI and login credentials, for subsequent commands that you run in the same shell session.
Procedure
Switch to the user account you created during installation, for example:
$ su - amq-broker
Use the
artemis
command to start the shell, for example:$ /var/opt/amq-broker/mybroker/bin/artemis
If you want to supply the broker connection details when you start an
artemis
shell, use theartemis shell
command. For example:$ /var/opt/amq-broker/mybroker/bin/artemis shell --user myuser --password mypassword --url tcp://localhost:61616
The credentials and URI provided are reused for any subsequent command run in the shell that requires authentication with a broker.
Press Tab to display auto-completion information anywhere in the shell. For example:
-
To display a list of commands available in the
artemis
shell, press Tab at the shell prompt. -
To display sub-commands for a command, press Tab after the command. For example, type
check
and press Tab to display the sub-commands for thecheck
command. The auto-completion information shows that thecheck
command supports three sub-commands:cluster
,node
andqueue
. -
To display auto-completion information for a sub-command, press Tab after the sub-command. For example, type
check node
and press Tab. If no further auto-completion information is displayed, type--
, for example,check node --
, and press Tab to display the parameters available for the command.

3.2. Configuring auto-completion in a Bash or Zsh shell
You can configure auto-completion of CLI commands and command parameters in a Bash or Zsh shell.
Procedure
Switch to the user account you created during installation, for example:
$ su - amq-broker
Use the following command to create a command auto-completion script called
auto-complete-artemis.sh
.$ /var/opt/amq-broker/mybroker/bin/artemis auto-complete
To run the
auto-complete-artemis.sh
, use the following command:$ source /var/opt/amq-broker/mybroker/bin/artemis/auto-complete-artemis.sh
-
To view auto-completion information for the
artemis
command, type/var/opt/amq-broker/mybroker/artemis
and press Tab. A list of commands available for theartemis
command is displayed. -
To view auto-completion information for an available command, press Tab after the command. For example, type
/var/opt/amq-broker/mybroker/artemis check node
and press Tab. If no further auto-completion information is displayed, type--
, for example,check node --
, and press Tab to display the parameters available for the command.
3.3. Starting broker instances
A broker instance is a directory containing all the configuration and runtime data, such as logs and data files. The runtime data is associated with a unique broker process.
You can start a broker in the foreground by using the artemis
script, as a Linux service, or as a Windows service.
3.3.1. Starting the broker instance
After the broker instance is created, you use the artemis run
command to start it.
Procedure
Switch to the user account you created during installation.
$ su - amq-broker
Use the
artemis run
command to start the broker instance.$ /var/opt/amq-broker/mybroker/bin/artemis run __ __ ____ ____ _ /\ | \/ |/ __ \ | _ \ | | / \ | \ / | | | | | |_) |_ __ ___ | | _____ _ __ / /\ \ | |\/| | | | | | _ <| '__/ _ \| |/ / _ \ '__| / ____ \| | | | |__| | | |_) | | | (_) | < __/ | /_/ \_\_| |_|\___\_\ |____/|_| \___/|_|\_\___|_| Red Hat JBoss AMQ 7.2.1.GA 10:53:43,959 INFO [org.apache.activemq.artemis.integration.bootstrap] AMQ101000: Starting ActiveMQ Artemis Server 10:53:44,076 INFO [org.apache.activemq.artemis.core.server] AMQ221000: live Message Broker is starting with configuration Broker Configuration (clustered=false,journalDirectory=./data/journal,bindingsDirectory=./data/bindings,largeMessagesDirectory=./data/large-messages,pagingDirectory=./data/paging) 10:53:44,099 INFO [org.apache.activemq.artemis.core.server] AMQ221012: Using AIO Journal ...
The broker starts and displays log output with the following information:
- The location of the transaction logs and cluster configuration.
- The type of journal being used for message persistence (AIO in this case).
The URI(s) that can accept client connections.
By default, port 61616 can accept connections from any of the supported protocols (CORE, MQTT, AMQP, STOMP, HORNETQ, and OPENWIRE). There are separate, individual ports for each protocol as well.
- The web console is available at http://localhost:8161.
- The Jolokia service (JMX over REST) is available at http://localhost:8161/jolokia.
3.3.2. Starting a broker as a Linux service
If the broker is installed on Linux, you can run it as a service.
Procedure
-
Create a new
amq-broker.service
file in the/etc/systemd/system/
directory. Copy the following text into the file.
Modify the path and user fields according to the information provided during the broker instance creation. In the example below, the user
amq-broker
starts the broker service installed under the/var/opt/amq-broker/mybroker/
directory.[Unit] Description=AMQ Broker After=syslog.target network.target [Service] ExecStart=/var/opt/amq-broker/mybroker/bin/artemis run Restart=on-failure User=amq-broker Group=amq-broker # A workaround for Java signal handling SuccessExitStatus=143 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
- Open a terminal.
Enable the broker service using the following command:
sudo systemctl enable amq-broker
Run the broker service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start amq-broker
3.3.3. Starting a broker as a Windows service
If the broker is installed on Windows, you can run it as a service.
Procedure
- Open a command prompt to enter the commands
Install the broker as a service with the following command:
<broker_instance_dir>\bin\artemis-service.exe install
Start the service by using the following command:
<broker_instance_dir>\bin\artemis-service.exe start
(Optional) Uninstall the service:
<broker_instance_dir>\bin\artemis-service.exe uninstall
3.4. Stopping broker instances
Stop the broker instance manually or configure the broker to shutdown gracefully.
3.4.1. Stopping the broker instance
After creating the standalone broker and producing and consuming test messages, you can stop the broker instance.
This procedure manually stops the broker, which forcefully closes all client connections. In a production environment, you should configure the broker to stop gracefully so that client connections can be closed properly.
Procedure
Use the
artemis stop
command to stop the broker instance:$ /var/opt/amq-broker/mybroker/bin/artemis stop 2018-12-03 14:37:30,630 INFO [org.apache.activemq.artemis.core.server] AMQ221002: Apache ActiveMQ Artemis Message Broker version 2.6.1.amq-720004-redhat-1 [b6c244ef-f1cb-11e8-a2d7-0800271b03bd] stopped, uptime 35 minutes Server stopped!
3.4.2. Stopping a broker instance gracefully
A manual shutdown forcefully disconnects all clients after a stop
command is entered. As an alternative, configure the broker to shut down gracefully by using the graceful-shutdown-enabled
configuration element.
When graceful-shutdown-enabled
is set to true
, no new client connections are allowed after a stop
command is entered. However, existing connections are allowed to close on the client-side before the shutdown process is started. The default value for graceful-shutdown-enabled
is false
.
Use the graceful-shutdown-timeout
configuration element to set a length of time, in milliseconds, for clients to disconnect before connections are forcefully closed from the broker side. After all connections are closed, the shutdown process is started. One advantage of using graceful-shutdown-timeout
is that it prevents client connections from delaying a shutdown. The default value for graceful-shutdown-timeout
is -1
, meaning the broker waits indefinitely for clients to disconnect.
The following procedure demonstrates how to configure a graceful shutdown that uses a timeout.
Procedure
-
Open the configuration file
<broker_instance_dir>\etc\broker.xml
. Add the
graceful-shutdown-enabled
configuration element and set the value totrue
.<configuration> <core> ... <graceful-shutdown-enabled> true </graceful-shutdown-enabled> ... </core> </configuration>
Add the
graceful-shutdown-timeout
configuration element and set a value for the timeout in milliseconds. In the following example, client connections are forcefully closed 30 seconds (30000
milliseconds) after thestop
command is issued.<configuration> <core> ... <graceful-shutdown-enabled> true </graceful-shutdown-enabled> <graceful-shutdown-timeout> 30000 </graceful-shutdown-timeout> ... </core> </configuration>
3.5. Auditing messages by intercepting packets
Intercept packets entering or exiting the broker, to audit packets or filter messages. Interceptors change the packets that they intercept. This makes interceptors powerful, but also potentially dangerous.
Develop interceptors to meet your business requirements. Interceptors are protocol specific and must implement the appropriate interface.
Interceptors must implement the intercept()
method, which returns a boolean value. If the value is true
, the message packet continues onward. If false
, the process is aborted, no other interceptors are called, and the message packet is not processed further.
3.5.1. Creating interceptors
Interceptors can change the packets they intercept. You can create your own incoming and outgoing interceptors. All interceptors are protocol specific and are called for any packet entering or exiting the server respectively. This allows you to create interceptors to meet business requirements such as auditing packets.
Interceptors and their dependencies must be placed in the Java classpath of the broker. You can use the <broker_instance_dir>/lib
directory because it is part of the classpath by default.
The following examples demonstrate how to create an interceptor that checks the size of each packet passed to it.
The examples implement a specific interface for each protocol.
Procedure
Implement the appropriate interface and override its
intercept()
method.If you are using the AMQP protocol, implement the
org.apache.activemq.artemis.protocol.amqp.broker.AmqpInterceptor
interface.package com.example; import org.apache.activemq.artemis.protocol.amqp.broker.AMQPMessage; import org.apache.activemq.artemis.protocol.amqp.broker.AmqpInterceptor; import org.apache.activemq.artemis.spi.core.protocol.RemotingConnection; public class MyInterceptor implements AmqpInterceptor { private final int ACCEPTABLE_SIZE = 1024; @Override public boolean intercept(final AMQPMessage message, RemotingConnection connection) { int size = message.getEncodeSize(); if (size <= ACCEPTABLE_SIZE) { System.out.println("This AMQPMessage has an acceptable size."); return true; } return false; } }
If you are using Core Protocol, your interceptor must implement the
org.apache.artemis.activemq.api.core.Interceptor
interface.package com.example; import org.apache.artemis.activemq.api.core.Interceptor; import org.apache.activemq.artemis.core.protocol.core.Packet; import org.apache.activemq.artemis.spi.core.protocol.RemotingConnection; public class MyInterceptor implements Interceptor { private final int ACCEPTABLE_SIZE = 1024; @Override boolean intercept(Packet packet, RemotingConnection connection) throws ActiveMQException { int size = packet.getPacketSize(); if (size <= ACCEPTABLE_SIZE) { System.out.println("This Packet has an acceptable size."); return true; } return false; } }
If you are using the MQTT protocol, implement the
org.apache.activemq.artemis.core.protocol.mqtt.MQTTInterceptor
interface.package com.example; import org.apache.activemq.artemis.core.protocol.mqtt.MQTTInterceptor; import io.netty.handler.codec.mqtt.MqttMessage; import org.apache.activemq.artemis.spi.core.protocol.RemotingConnection; public class MyInterceptor implements Interceptor { private final int ACCEPTABLE_SIZE = 1024; @Override boolean intercept(MqttMessage mqttMessage, RemotingConnection connection) throws ActiveMQException { byte[] msg = (mqttMessage.toString()).getBytes(); int size = msg.length; if (size <= ACCEPTABLE_SIZE) { System.out.println("This MqttMessage has an acceptable size."); return true; } return false; } }
If you are using the STOMP protocol, implement the
org.apache.activemq.artemis.core.protocol.stomp.StompFrameInterceptor
interface.package com.example; import org.apache.activemq.artemis.core.protocol.stomp.StompFrameInterceptor; import org.apache.activemq.artemis.core.protocol.stomp.StompFrame; import org.apache.activemq.artemis.spi.core.protocol.RemotingConnection; public class MyInterceptor implements Interceptor { private final int ACCEPTABLE_SIZE = 1024; @Override boolean intercept(StompFrame stompFrame, RemotingConnection connection) throws ActiveMQException { int size = stompFrame.getEncodedSize(); if (size <= ACCEPTABLE_SIZE) { System.out.println("This StompFrame has an acceptable size."); return true; } return false; } }
3.5.2. Configuring the broker to use interceptors
Prerequisites
-
Create an interceptor class and add it (and its dependencies) to the Java classpath of the broker. You can use the
<broker_instance_dir>/lib
directory since it is part of the classpath by default.
Procedure
-
Open
<broker_instance_dir>/etc/broker.xml
Configure the broker to use an interceptor by adding configuration to
<broker_instance_dir>/etc/broker.xml
If the interceptor is intended for incoming messages, add its
class-name
to the list ofremoting-incoming-interceptors
.<configuration> <core> ... <remoting-incoming-interceptors> <class-name>org.example.MyIncomingInterceptor</class-name> </remoting-incoming-interceptors> ... </core> </configuration>
If the interceptor is intended for outgoing messages, add its
class-name
to the list ofremoting-outgoing-interceptors
.<configuration> <core> ... <remoting-outgoing-interceptors> <class-name>org.example.MyOutgoingInterceptor</class-name> </remoting-outgoing-interceptors> </core> </configuration>
3.5.3. Interceptors on the client side
Clients can use interceptors to intercept packets either sent by the client to the server or by the server to the client. If the broker-side interceptor returns a false
value, then no other interceptors are called and the client does not process the packet further. This process happens transparently, unless an outgoing packet is sent in a blocking
fashion. In this case, an ActiveMQException
is thrown to the caller. The ActiveMQException
thrown contains the name of the interceptor that returned the false
value.
On the server, the client interceptor classes and their dependencies must be added to the Java classpath of the client, to be properly instantiated and invoked.
3.6. Checking the health of brokers, queues and the cluster
AMQ Broker includes a command-line utility that enables you to perform various health checks on brokers and queues in your broker topology. If your brokers are clustered, you can also use the utility to check the health of your cluster topology.
Procedure
See the list of checks that you can run for a particular broker (that is, node) in your broker topology.
$ <broker_instance_dir>/bin/artemis help check node
You see output that describes the set of options that you can use with the
artemis check node
command.NAME artemis check node - Check a node SYNOPSIS artemis check node [--backup] [--clientID <clientID>] [--diskUsage <diskUsage>] [--fail-at-end] [--live] [--memoryUsage <memoryUsage>] [--name <name>] [--password <password>] [--peers <peers>] [--protocol <protocol>] [--silent] [--timeout <timeout>] [--up] [--url <brokerURL>] [--user <user>] [--verbose] OPTIONS --backup Check that the node has a backup --clientID <clientID> ClientID to be associated with connection --diskUsage <diskUsage> Disk usage percentage to check or -1 to use the max-disk-usage --fail-at-end If a particular module check fails, continue the rest of the checks --live Check that the node has a live --memoryUsage <memoryUsage> Memory usage percentage to check --name <name> Name of the target to check --password <password> Password used to connect --peers <peers> Number of peers to check --protocol <protocol> Protocol used. Valid values are amqp or core. Default=core. --silent It will disable all the inputs, and it would make a best guess for any required input --timeout <timeout> Time to wait for the check execution, in milliseconds --up Check that the node is started, it is executed by default if there are no other checks --url <brokerURL> URL towards the broker. (default: tcp://localhost:61616) --user <user> User used to connect --verbose Adds more information on the execution
For example, check that the disk usage of the local broker is below the maximum disk usage configured for the broker.
$ <broker_instance_dir>/bin/artemis check node --url tcp://localhost:61616 --diskUsage -1 Connection brokerURL = tcp://localhost:61616 Running NodeCheck Checking that the disk usage is less then the max-disk-usage ... success Checks run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.065 sec - NodeCheck
In the preceding example, specifying a value of
-1
for the--diskUsage
option means that the utility checks disk usage against the maximum disk usage configured for the broker. The maximum disk usage of a broker is configured using themax-disk-usage
parameter in thebroker.xml
configuration file. The value specified formax-disk-usage
represents the percentage of available physical disk space that the broker is allowed to consume.See the list of checks that you can run for a particular queue in your broker topology.
$ <broker_instance_dir>/bin/artemis help check queue
You see output that describes the set of options that you can use with the
artemis check queue
command.NAME artemis check queue - Check a queue SYNOPSIS artemis check queue [--browse <browse>] [--clientID <clientID>] [--consume <consume>] [--fail-at-end] [--name <name>] [--password <password>] [--produce <produce>] [--protocol <protocol>] [--silent] [--timeout <timeout>] [--up] [--url <brokerURL>] [--user <user>] [--verbose] OPTIONS --browse <browse> Number of the messages to browse or -1 to check that the queue is browsable --clientID <clientID> ClientID to be associated with connection --consume <consume> Number of the messages to consume or -1 to check that the queue is consumable --fail-at-end If a particular module check fails, continue the rest of the checks --name <name> Name of the target to check --password <password> Password used to connect --produce <produce> Number of the messages to produce --protocol <protocol> Protocol used. Valid values are amqp or core. Default=core. --silent It will disable all the inputs, and it would make a best guess for any required input --timeout <timeout> Time to wait for the check execution, in milliseconds --up Check that the queue exists and is not paused, it is executed by default if there are no other checks --url <brokerURL> URL towards the broker. (default: tcp://localhost:61616) --user <user> User used to connect --verbose Adds more information on the execution
The utility can execute multiple options with a single command. For example, to check production, browsing, and consumption of 1000 messages on the default
helloworld
queue on the local broker, use the following command:$ <broker_instance_dir>/bin/artemis check queue --name helloworld --produce 1000 --browse 1000 --consume 1000 Connection brokerURL = tcp://localhost:61616 Running QueueCheck Checking that a producer can send 1000 messages to the queue helloworld ... success Checking that a consumer can browse 1000 messages from the queue helloworld ... success Checking that a consumer can consume 1000 messages from the queue helloworld ... success Checks run: 3, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 2.882 sec - QueueCheck
In the preceding example, observe that you did not specify a broker URL when running the queue check. If you do not explicitly specify a URL, the utility uses a default value of
tcp://localhost:61616
.If your brokers are clustered, see the list of checks that you can run for the cluster topology.
$ <broker_instance_dir>/bin/artemis help check cluster
You see output that describes the set of options that you can use with the
artemis check cluster
command.NAME artemis check cluster - Verify if all the nodes on the cluster match the same topology and time configuration. SYNOPSIS artemis check cluster [--acceptor=<acceptor>] [--clientID=<clientID>] [--password=<password>] [--protocol=<protocol>] [--silent] [--url=<brokerURL>] [--user=<user>] [--variance=<variance>] [--verbose] OPTIONS --acceptor=<acceptor> Name used to find the default connection URL on the acceptor list. If an acceptor with that name cannot be found, the command looks for a connector with the same name. --clientID <clientID> ClientID to be associated with connection. --password <password> Password used to connect. --protocol <protocol> Protocol used. Valid values are amqp or core. Default=core. --silent Disables all the input options and make a best guess for any required input. --url <brokerURL> URL of the broker (default: tcp://localhost:61616). --user <user> User used to connect. --variance <variance> Allowed time variance in milliseconds after which check is deemed to have failed (default=1000). --verbose Adds more information on the execution.
