.Sh DESCRIPTION
.\" ------------------------------------------------------------------
.Nm
is a command line tool that provides commands used to manage queues,
for example, grow, shrink or rebalance replicas of replicated queue types.
See the
.Lk https://www.rabbitmq.com/docs/quorum-queues "RabbitMQ quorum queues guide"
and the general
.Lk https://www.rabbitmq.com/docs/queues "RabbitMQ queues guide"
to learn more about queue types in RabbitMQ.

.\" ------------------------------------------------------------------
.Sh OPTIONS
.\" ------------------------------------------------------------------
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl n Ar node
Default node is
.Qq Pf rabbit@ Ar target-hostname ,
where
.Ar target-hostname
is the local host.
On a host named
.Qq myserver.example.com ,
the node name will usually be
.Qq rabbit@myserver
(unless
.Ev RABBITMQ_NODENAME
has been overridden).
The output of
.Qq hostname -s
is usually the correct suffix to use after the
.Qq @
sign.
See
.Xr rabbitmq-server 8
for details of configuring a RabbitMQ node.
.It Fl q , -quiet
Quiet output mode is selected.
Informational messages are reduced when quiet mode is in effect.
.It Fl s , -silent
Silent output mode is selected.
Informational messages are reduced and table headers are suppressed when silent mode is in effect.
.It Fl t Ar timeout , Fl -timeout Ar timeout
Operation timeout in seconds.
Not all commands support timeouts.
Default is
.Cm infinity .
.It Fl l , Fl -longnames
Must be specified when the cluster is configured to use long (FQDN) node names.
To learn more, see the
.Lk https://www.rabbitmq.com/docs/clustering "RabbitMQ Clustering guide"
.It Fl -erlang-cookie Ar cookie
Shared secret to use to authenticate to the target node.
Prefer using a local file or the
.Ev RABBITMQ_ERLANG_COOKIE
environment variable instead of specifying this option on the command line.
To learn more, see the
.Lk https://www.rabbitmq.com/docs/cli "RabbitMQ CLI Tools guide"

.Dl rabbitmq-queues rebalance Qo all Qc --vhost-pattern Qo a-vhost Qc --queue-pattern Qo .* Qc
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm shrink Ar node
.Pp
Shrinks quorum queue clusters by removing any members (replicas) on the given node.
.Pp
Example:
.Sp
.Dl rabbitmq-queues shrink Qo rabbit@decomissioned-node Qc
.\" ------------------------------------
.El
.Ss Replication
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm add_member Ar queue Ar node Fl -vhost Ar virtual-host
.Pp
Adds a quorum queue member (replica) on the given node.
.Pp
Example:
.Sp
.Dl rabbitmq-queues add_member --vhost Qo a-vhost Qc Qo a-queue Qc Qo rabbit@new-node Qc
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm delete_member Ar queue Ar node Fl -vhost Ar virtual-host
.Pp
Removes a quorum queue member (replica) on the given node.
.Pp
Example:
.Sp
.Dl rabbitmq-queues delete_member --vhost Qo a-vhost Qc Qo a-queue Qc Qo rabbit@decomissioned-node Qc
.\" ------------------------------------
.El
.Ss Queues
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm quorum_status Ar queue Fl -vhost Ar virtual-host
.Pp
Displays quorum status of a quorum queue.
.Pp
Example:
.Sp
.Dl rabbitmq-queues quorum_status --vhost Qo a-vhost Qc Qo a-queue Qc
.It Cm peek Ar queue Ar position Fl -vhost Ar virtual-host Fl -timeout
.Pp
Displays the details of a message at the given position in the queue.
This command is currently only supported by quorum queues.
.Pp
Example:
.Sp
.Dl rabbitmq-queues peek --vhost Qo a-vhost Qc Qo a-queue Qc Qo 1 Qc
.It Cm check_if_cluster_has_classic_queue_mirroring_policy
.Pp
Health check that exits with a non-zero code if there are policies in the cluster that enable classic queue mirroring.
Classic queue mirroring has been deprecated since 2021 and was completely removed in the RabbitMQ 4.0 development cycle.
.Pp
Example:
.Sp
.Dl rabbitmq-queues check_if_cluster_has_classic_queue_mirroring_policy
.It Cm check_if_node_is_quorum_critical
.Pp
Health check that exits with a non-zero code if there are queues with minimum online quorum (queues that would lose their quorum if the target node is shut down).
.Pp
Example:
.Sp
.Dl rabbitmq-queues check_if_node_is_quorum_critical
