8.6.2. Configuring the Sample Routing Plug-In

Procedure 8.18. To Enable and Configure the Sample Routing Plug-in:

1. Add a new user, topic, and queue to ActiveMQ. On each ActiveMQ broker, edit the /etc/activemq/activemq.xml file and add the following line within the <users> section, replacing routinginfopasswd with your own password:

   <authenticationUser username="routinginfo" password="routinginfopasswd" groups="routinginfo,everyone"/>

   Example 8.14. Example <users> Section

   <users>
     <authenticationUser username="mcollective" password="marionette" groups="mcollective,everyone"/>
     <authenticationUser username="admin" password="secret" groups="mcollective,admin,everyone"/>
     <authenticationUser username="routinginfo" password="routinginfopasswd" groups="routinginfo,everyone"/>
   </users>

2. Add the following lines within the <authorizationEntries> section:

   <authorizationEntry topic="routinginfo.>" write="routinginfo" read="routinginfo" admin="routinginfo" />
   <authorizationEntry queue="routinginfo.>" write="routinginfo" read="routinginfo" admin="routinginfo" />

   Example 8.15. Example <authorizationEntries> Section

   <authorizationEntries>
     <authorizationEntry queue=">" write="admins" read="admins" admin="admins" />
     <authorizationEntry topic=">" write="admins" read="admins" admin="admins" />
     <authorizationEntry topic="mcollective.>" write="mcollective" read="mcollective" admin="mcollective" />
     <authorizationEntry queue="mcollective.>" write="mcollective" read="mcollective" admin="mcollective" />
     <authorizationEntry topic="ActiveMQ.Advisory.>" read="everyone" write="everyone" admin="everyone"/>
     <authorizationEntry topic="routinginfo.>" write="routinginfo" read="routinginfo" admin="routinginfo" />
     <authorizationEntry queue="routinginfo.>" write="routinginfo" read="routinginfo" admin="routinginfo" />
   </authorizationEntries>

3. Add the following lines within the <plugins> section:

   <redeliveryPlugin fallbackToDeadLetter="true"
                     sendToDlqIfMaxRetriesExceeded="true">
     <redeliveryPolicyMap>
       <redeliveryPolicyMap>
         <redeliveryPolicyEntries>
           <redeliveryPolicy queue="routinginfo"
                             maximumRedeliveries="4"
                             useExponentialBackOff="true"
                             backOffMultiplier="4"
                             initialRedeliveryDelay="2000" />
           </redeliveryPolicyEntries>
         </redeliveryPolicyMap>
       </redeliveryPolicyMap>
     </redeliveryPlugin>

4. Add the schedulerSupport="true" directive within the <broker> section:

   <broker xmlns="http://activemq.apache.org/schema/core"
   	brokerName="activemq.example.com"
   	dataDirectory="${activemq.data}"
   	schedulePeriodForDestinationPurge="60000"
   	schedulerSupport="true"
   	>

5. Restart the activemq service:

   # service activemq restart

6. On the broker host, verify that the rubygem-openshift-origin-routing-activemq package is installed:

   # yum install rubygem-openshift-origin-routing-activemq

7. Copy the /etc/openshift/plugins.d/openshift-origin-routing-activemq.conf.example file to /etc/openshift/plugins.d/openshift-origin-routing-activemq.conf:

   # cp /etc/openshift/plugins.d/openshift-origin-routing-activemq.conf.example /etc/openshift/plugins.d/openshift-origin-routing-activemq.conf

8. Edit the /etc/openshift/plugins.d/openshift-origin-routing-activemq.conf file and ensure the ACTIVEMQ_HOST and ACTIVEMQ_PORT parameters are set appropriately for your ActiveMQ broker. Set the ACTIVEMQ_PASSWORD parameter to the password chosen for the routinginfo user:

   Example 8.16. Example Routing Plug-in Configuration File

   ACTIVEMQ_TOPIC='/topic/routinginfo'
   ACTIVEMQ_USERNAME='routinginfo'
   ACTIVEMQ_PASSWORD='routinginfopasswd'
   ACTIVEMQ_HOST='127.0.0.1'
   ACTIVEMQ_PORT='61613'

   In OpenShift Enterprise 2.1.2 and later, you can set the ACTIVEMQ_HOST parameter as a comma-separated list of host:port pairs if you are using multiple ActiveMQ brokers:

   Example 8.17. Example ACTIVEMQ_HOST Setting Using Multiple ActiveMQ Brokers

   ACTIVEMQ_HOST='192.168.59.163:61613,192.168.59.147:61613'

9. You can optionally enable SSL connections per ActiveMQ host. To do so, set the MCOLLECTIVE_CONFIG parameter in the /etc/openshift/plugins.d/openshift-origin-routing-activemq.conf file to the MCollective client configuration file used by the broker:

   MCOLLECTIVE_CONFIG='/opt/rh/ruby193/root/etc/mcollective/client.cfg'

   Note that while setting the MCOLLECTIVE_CONFIG parameter overrides the ACTIVEMQ_HOST and ACTIVEMQ_PORT parameters in this file, the ACTIVEMQ_USERNAME and ACTIVEMQ_PASSWORD parameters in this file are still used by the routing plug-in and must be set.
10. Restart the broker service:

    # service openshift-broker restart
