In Rabbitmq management webapp, create a new exchange named collectd.amq.fanout of type fanout. The Format parameter supports 3 formats:

• json
• command
• graphite

You can check the results running the python script in the gist after installing pika:

sudo pip install pika

collectd_consumer.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
import pika

connection = pika.BlockingConnection(pika.ConnectionParameters(
        host='localhost'))
channel = connection.channel()

channel.exchange_declare(exchange='collectd.amq.fanout', type='fanout', durable='false')

result = channel.queue_declare(exclusive=True)
queue_name = result.method.queue

channel.queue_bind(exchange='collectd.amq.fanout',
                   queue=queue_name)

print(' [*] Waiting for logs. To exit press CTRL+C')

def callback(ch, method, properties, body):
    print("%r" % body)

channel.basic_consume(callback,
                      queue=queue_name,
                      no_ack=True)

channel.start_consuming()
