Exchanges, Queues are not getting published in RabbitMQ management despite everything showing correct in my springboot application logs

[shikshartin-coder]

I was trying to do some basic RabbitMQ setup and learn few things. I got the RabbitMQ 3.13.6 management docker image. I am running the image with the following command "docker run --rm -it -p 15672:15672 -p 5672:5672 rabbitmq:3.13.6-management".
I have declared the following properties in springboot application.properties file:

spring.rabbitmq.host=localhost
spring.rabbitmq.port=5672
spring.rabbitmq.username=guest
spring.rabbitmq.password=guest

rabbitmq.queue.name=Queue_Test
rabbitmq.exchange.name=Exchange_Test
rabbitmq.routing.key=routingKey_Test

logging.level.org.springframework.amqp=DEBUG
logging.level.org.springframework.amqp.rabbit.core.RabbitTemplate=DEBUG
logging.level.org.springframework.amqp.rabbit.connection=DEBUG

And because I am running it in DEBUG mode I can see the following DEBUG messages in Springboot application console:

As you can see I am not getting any error but still no exchange or queue is getting created in RabbitMQ management. Neither I can see any error in RabbitMQ server logs in docker. Can you please guide what exactly can I try to get past this? I am literally stuck in this without even any error coming up.

Hello, thanks for using RabbitMQ.

I started RabbitMQ using the same docker command you did, and then ran PerfTest. You can see that a queue is created.

If you wish to have assistance, the least you can do is share your code so that I can compile and run it. If you do so, I will re-open this discussion.

@shikshartin-coder either share RabbitMQ logs or we won't be able to help you.

Most likely your app fails to connect to RabbitMQ. We cannot know why that might be, here are some relevant doc links:

1. Remote connection restrictions for the default user
2. How to enable debug logging on RabbitMQ nodes
3. How to troubleshooting connectivity to RabbitMQ nodes

My fault. I didn't realized I had installed RabbitMQ on my machine long time back and hence the port 5672 was already occupied by Erleng. Hence despite stopping the rabbitMQ docker container the connection was still happening with Springboot. I had to specifically stop the rabbitMQ server running locally in my machine and then run the Docker RabbitMQ to finally see things working.
