Chapter 1. Overview
AMQ Broker configuration files define important settings for a broker instance. By editing a broker’s configuration files, you can control how the broker operates in your environment.
1.1. AMQ Broker configuration files and locations
All of a broker’s configuration files are stored in <broker-instance-dir>/etc. You can configure a broker by editing the settings in these configuration files.
Each broker instance uses the following configuration files:
broker.xml- The main configuration file. You use this file to configure most aspects of the broker, such as network connections, security settings, message addresses, and so on.
bootstrap.xml-
The file that AMQ Broker uses to start a broker instance. You use it to change the location of
broker.xml, configure the web server, and set some security settings. logging.properties- You use this file to set logging properties for the broker instance.
artemis.profile- You use this file to set environment variables used while the broker instance is running.
login.config,artemis-users.properties,artemis-roles.properties- Security-related files. You use these files to set up authentication for user access to the broker instance.
1.2. Understanding the default broker configuration
You configure most of a broker’s functionality by editing the broker.xml configuration file. This file contains default settings, which are sufficient to start and operate a broker. However, you will likely need to change some of the default settings and add new settings to configure the broker for your environment.
By default, broker.xml contains default settings for the following functionality:
- Message persistence
- Acceptors
- Security
- Message addresses
Default message persistence settings
By default, AMQ Broker persistence uses an append-only file journal that consists of a set of files on disk. The journal saves messages, transactions, and other information.
<configuration ...>
<core ...>
...
<persistence-enabled>true</persistence-enabled>
<!-- this could be ASYNCIO, MAPPED, NIO
ASYNCIO: Linux Libaio
MAPPED: mmap files
NIO: Plain Java Files

<journal-datasync>true</journal-datasync>
<journal-min-files>2</journal-min-files>
<journal-pool-files>10</journal-pool-files>
<journal-file-size>10M</journal-file-size>
<!--
This value was determined through a calculation.
Your system could perform 8.62 writes per millisecond
on the current journal configuration.
That translates as a sync write every 115999 nanoseconds.
Note: If you specify 0 the system will perform writes directly to the disk.
We recommend this to be 0 if you are using journalType=MAPPED and journal-datasync=false.
-->
<journal-buffer-timeout>115999</journal-buffer-timeout>

</core>
</configuration>Default acceptor settings
Brokers listen for incoming client connections by using an acceptor configuration element to define the port and protocols a client can use to make connections. By default, AMQ Broker includes configuration for an acceptor for each supported messaging protocol.
<configuration ...>
<core ...>
...
<acceptors>
<!-- Acceptor for every supported protocol -->
<acceptor name="artemis">tcp://0.0.0.0:61616?tcpSendBufferSize=1048576;tcpReceiveBufferSize=1048576;protocols=CORE,AMQP,STOMP,HORNETQ,MQTT,OPENWIRE;useEpoll=true;amqpCredits=1000;amqpLowCredits=300</acceptor>
<!-- AMQP Acceptor. Listens on default AMQP port for AMQP traffic -->
<acceptor name="amqp">tcp://0.0.0.0:5672?tcpSendBufferSize=1048576;tcpReceiveBufferSize=1048576;protocols=AMQP;useEpoll=true;amqpCredits=1000;amqpLowCredits=300</acceptor>
<!-- STOMP Acceptor -->
<acceptor name="stomp">tcp://0.0.0.0:61613?tcpSendBufferSize=1048576;tcpReceiveBufferSize=1048576;protocols=STOMP;useEpoll=true</acceptor>
<!-- HornetQ Compatibility Acceptor. Enables HornetQ Core and STOMP for legacy HornetQ clients. -->
<acceptor name="hornetq">tcp://0.0.0.0:5445?anycastPrefix=jms.queue.;multicastPrefix=jms.topic.;protocols=HORNETQ,STOMP;useEpoll=true</acceptor>
<!-- MQTT Acceptor -->
<acceptor name="mqtt">tcp://0.0.0.0:1883?tcpSendBufferSize=1048576;tcpReceiveBufferSize=1048576;protocols=MQTT;useEpoll=true</acceptor>
</acceptors>
...
</core>
</configuration>Default security settings
AMQ Broker contains a flexible role-based security model for applying security to queues, based on their addresses. The default configuration uses wildcards to apply the amq role to all addresses (represented by the number sign, #).
<configuration ...>
<core ...>
...
<security-settings>
<security-setting match="#">
<permission type="createNonDurableQueue" roles="amq"/>
<permission type="deleteNonDurableQueue" roles="amq"/>
<permission type="createDurableQueue" roles="amq"/>
<permission type="deleteDurableQueue" roles="amq"/>
<permission type="createAddress" roles="amq"/>
<permission type="deleteAddress" roles="amq"/>
<permission type="consume" roles="amq"/>
<permission type="browse" roles="amq"/>
<permission type="send" roles="amq"/>
<!-- we need this otherwise ./artemis data imp wouldn't work -->
<permission type="manage" roles="amq"/>
</security-setting>
</security-settings>
...
</core>
</configuration>Default message address settings
AMQ Broker includes a default address that establishes a default set of configuration settings to be applied to any created queue or topic.
Additionally, the default configuration defines two queues: DLQ (Dead Letter Queue) handles messages that arrive with no known destination, and Expiry Queue holds messages that have lived past their expiration and therefore should not be routed to their original destination.
<configuration ...>
<core ...>
...
<address-settings>
...
<!--default for catch all-->
<address-setting match="#">
<dead-letter-address>DLQ</dead-letter-address>
<expiry-address>ExpiryQueue</expiry-address>
<redelivery-delay>0</redelivery-delay>
<!-- with -1 only the global-max-size is in use for limiting -->
<max-size-bytes>-1</max-size-bytes>
<message-counter-history-day-limit>10</message-counter-history-day-limit>
<address-full-policy>PAGE</address-full-policy>
<auto-create-queues>true</auto-create-queues>
<auto-create-addresses>true</auto-create-addresses>
<auto-create-jms-queues>true</auto-create-jms-queues>
<auto-create-jms-topics>true</auto-create-jms-topics>
</address-setting>
</address-settings>
<addresses>
<address name="DLQ">
<anycast>
<queue name="DLQ" />
</anycast>
</address>
<address name="ExpiryQueue">
<anycast>
<queue name="ExpiryQueue" />
</anycast>
</address>
</addresses>
</core>
</configuration>1.3. Reloading configuration updates
By default, a broker checks for changes in the configuration files every 5000 milliseconds. If the broker detects a change in the "last modified" time stamp of the configuration file, the broker determines that a configuration change took place. In this case, the broker reloads the configuration file to activate the changes.
When the broker reloads the broker.xml configuration file, it reloads the following modules:
Address settings and queues
When the configuration file is reloaded, the address settings determine how to handle addresses and queues that have been deleted from the configuration file. You can set this with the
config-delete-addressesandconfig-delete-queuesproperties. For more information, see Appendix B, Address Setting Configuration Elements.Security settings
SSL/TLS keystores and truststores on an existing acceptor can be reloaded to establish new certificates without any impact to existing clients. Connected clients, even those with older or differing certificates, can continue to send and receive messages.
Diverts
A configuration reload deploys any new divert that you have added. However, removal of a divert from the configuration or a change to a sub-element within a
<divert>element do not take effect until you restart the broker.
The following procedure shows how to change the interval at which the broker checks for changes to the broker.xml configuration file.
Procedure
-
Open the
<broker-instance-dir>/etc/broker.xmlconfiguration file. Within the
<core>element, add the<configuration-file-refresh-period>element and set the refresh period (in milliseconds).This example sets the configuration refresh period to be 60000 milliseconds:
<configuration> <core> ... <configuration-file-refresh-period>60000</configuration-file-refresh-period> ... </core> </configuration>
1.4. Modularizing the broker configuration file
If you have multiple brokers that share common configuration settings, you can define the common configuration in separate files, and then include these files in each broker’s broker.xml configuration file.
The most common configuration settings that you might share between brokers include:
- Addresses
- Address settings
- Security settings
Procedure
Create a separate XML file for each
broker.xmlsection that you want to share.Each XML file can only include a single section from
broker.xml(for example, either addresses or address settings, but not both). The top-level element must also define the element namespace (xmlns="urn:activemq:core").This example shows a security settings configuration defined in
my-security-settings.xml:my-security-settings.xml
<security-settings xmlns="urn:activemq:core"> <security-setting match="a1"> <permission type="createNonDurableQueue" roles="a1.1"/> </security-setting> <security-setting match="a2"> <permission type="deleteNonDurableQueue" roles="a2.1"/> </security-setting> </security-settings>-
Open the
<broker-instance-dir>/etc/broker.xmlconfiguration file for each broker that should use the common configuration settings. For each
broker.xmlfile that you opened, do the following:In the
<configuration>element at the beginning ofbroker.xml, verify that the following line appears:xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
Add an XML inclusion for each XML file that contains shared configuration settings.
This example includes the
my-security-settings.xmlfile.broker.xml
<configuration ...> <core ...> ... <xi:include href="/opt/my-broker-config/my-security-settings.xml"/> ... </core> </configuration>If desired, validate
broker.xmlto verify that the XML is valid against the schema.You can use any XML validator program. This example uses
xmllintto validatebroker.xmlagainst theartemis-server.xslschema.$ xmllint --noout --xinclude --schema /opt/redhat/amq-broker/amq-broker-7.2.0/schema/artemis-server.xsd /var/opt/amq-broker/mybroker/etc/broker.xml /var/opt/amq-broker/mybroker/etc/broker.xml validates

1.4.1. Reloading modular configuration files
When the broker periodically checks for configuration changes (according to the frequency specified by configuration-file-refresh-period), it does not automatically detect changes made to configuration files that are included in the broker.xml configuration file via xi:include. For example, if broker.xml includes my-address-settings.xml and you make configuration changes to my-address-settings.xml, the broker does not automatically detect the changes in my-address-settings.xml and reload the configuration.
To force a reload of the broker.xml configuration file and any modified configuration files included within it, you must ensure that the "last modified" time stamp of the broker.xml configuration file has changed. You can use a standard Linux touch command to update the last-modified time stamp of broker.xml without making any other changes. For example:
$ touch -m <broker-instance-dir>/etc/broker.xml1.5. Document conventions
This document uses the following conventions for the sudo command and file paths.
The sudo command
In this document, sudo is used for any command that requires root privileges. You should always exercise caution when using sudo, as any changes can affect the entire system.
For more information about using sudo, see The sudo Command.
About the use of file paths in this document
In this document, all file paths are valid for Linux, UNIX, and similar operating systems (for example, /home/...). If you are using Microsoft Windows, you should use the equivalent Microsoft Windows paths (for example, C:\Users\...).
