Distributed James Server — rabbitmq.properties

uri

the amqp URI pointing to RabbitMQ server. If you use a vhost, specify it as well at the end of the URI. Details about amqp URI format is in RabbitMQ URI Specification

management.uri

the URI pointing to RabbitMQ Management Service. James need to retrieve some information about listing queues from this service in runtime. Details about URI format is in RabbitMQ Management URI

management.user

username used to access management service

management.password

password used to access management service

connection.pool.retries

Configure retries count to retrieve a connection. Exponential backoff is performed between each retries. Optional integer, defaults to 10

connection.pool.min.delay.ms

Configure initial duration (in ms) between two connection retries. Exponential backoff is performed between each retries. Optional integer, defaults to 100

channel.pool.retries

Configure retries count to retrieve a channel. Exponential backoff is performed between each retries. Optional integer, defaults to 3

channel.pool.max.delay.ms

Configure timeout duration (in ms) to obtain a rabbitmq channel. Defaults to 30 seconds. Optional integer, defaults to 30 seconds.

channel.pool.size

Configure the size of the channel pool. Optional integer, defaults to 3

ssl.enabled

Is using ssl enabled Optional boolean, defaults to false

ssl.management.enabled

Is using ssl on management api enabled Optional boolean, defaults to false

ssl.validation.strategy

Configure the validation strategy used for rabbitmq connections. Possible values are default, ignore and override. Optional string, defaults to using systemwide ssl configuration

ssl.truststore

Points to the truststore (PKCS12) used for verifying rabbitmq connection. If configured then "ssl.truststore.password" must also be configured, Optional string, defaults to systemwide truststore. "ssl.validation.strategy: override" must be configured if you want to use this

ssl.truststore.password

Configure the truststore password. If configured then "ssl.truststore" must also be configured, Optional string, defaults to empty string. "ssl.validation.strategy: override" must be configured if you want to use this

ssl.hostname.verifier

Configure host name verification. Possible options are default and accept_any_hostname Optional string, defaults to subject alternative name host verifier

ssl.keystore

Points to the keystore(PKCS12) used for client certificate authentication. If configured then "ssl.keystore.password" must also be configured, Optional string, defaults to empty string

ssl.keystore.password

Configure the keystore password. If configured then "ssl.keystore" must also be configured, Optional string, defaults to empty string

quorum.queues.enable

Boolean. Whether to activate Quorum queue usage for use cases that benefits from it (work queue). Quorum queues enables high availability. False (default value) results in the usage of classic queues.

quorum.queues.replication.factor

Strictly positive integer. The replication factor to use when creating quorum queues.

hosts

Optional, default to the host specified as part of the URI. Allow creating cluster aware connections. A coma separated list of hosts, example: hosts=ip1:5672,ip2:5672

mailqueue.publish.confirm.enabled

Whether or not to enable publish confirms for the mail queue. Optional boolean, defaults to true.

event.bus.publish.confirm.enabled

Whether or not to enable publish confirms for the event bus. Optional boolean, defaults to true.

event.bus.notification.durability.enabled

Whether or not the queue backing notifications should be durable. Optional boolean, defaults to true.

vhost

Optional string. This parameter is only a workaround to support invalid URIs containing character like '_'. You still need to specify the vhost in the uri parameter.

cassandra.view.enabled

Whether the Cassandra administrative view should be activated. Boolean value defaulting to true. Not necessarily needed for MDA deployments, mail queue management adds significant complexity.

mailqueue.view.sliceWindow

James divides the view into slices, each slice contains data for a given period, sliceWindow parameter controls this period. This dividing of periods allows faster browsing of the mail queue. Tips for choosing sliceWindow are explained in rabbitmq.properties

mailqueue.view.bucketCount

Mails in a mail queue are distributed across the underlying storage service. BucketCount describes how to be distributing mails to fit with your James setup Tips for choosing bucketCount are explained in rabbitmq.properties

mailqueue.view.updateBrowseStartPace

To browse, James needs a starting point and to continuously update that point in runtime. UpdateBrowseStartPace describes the probability to update the starting point. Tips for choosing updateBrowseStartPace are explained in rabbitmq.properties

mailqueue.size.metricsEnabled

By default, the metrics are disabled for the mail queue size. As computing the size of the mail queue is currently implemented on top of browse operation and thus has a linear complexity, sometimes it can get too big, making it impossible for the ES reporter to handle it correctly without crashing. It can be useful then to disable it. Tips for choosing metricsEnabled are explained in rabbitmq.properties

notification.queue.ttl

Configure queue ttl (in ms). References: https://www.rabbitmq.com/ttl.html#queue-ttl. This is used only on queues used to share notification patterns, are exclusive to a node. If omitted, it will not add the TTL configure when declaring queues. Optional integer, defaults is 3600000.

task.consumption.enabled

Whether to enable task consumption on this node. Disable with caution (this only makes sense in a distributed setup where other nodes consume tasks). Defaults to true.

Limitation: Sometimes, some tasks running on James can be very heavy and take a couple of hours to complete. If other tasks are being triggered meanwhile on WebAdmin, they go on the TaskManagerWorkQueue and James unack them, telling RabbitMQ it will consume them later. If they don’t get consumed before the consumer timeout setup in RabbitMQ (default being 30 minutes), RabbitMQ closes the channel on an exception. It is thus advised to declare a longer timeout in rabbitmq.conf. More here.

task.queue.consumer.timeout

Task queue consumer timeout.

Optional. Duration (support multiple time units cf DurationParser), defaults to 1 day.

Required at least RabbitMQ version 3.12 to have effect. This is used to avoid the task queue consumer (which could run very long tasks) being disconnected by RabbitMQ after the default acknowledgement timeout 30 minutes. References: https://www.rabbitmq.com/consumers.html#acknowledgement-timeout.
