This feature is available on dedicated instances
RabbitMQ plugins can cover gaps between standard features and your organization's needs. Plugins can be enabled and disabled from the Plugins view in the CloudAMQP console. API endpoints are used to list available plugins, enable/disable plugins, and install supported community plugins. All plugins enabled via the plugins view or the API survive a server restart, and they are also moved to new nodes when changing CloudAMQP plans.
We recommend disabling unused plugins.
The following plugins are available from the CloudAMQP console. Some plugins are enabled automatically for all instances, and some require additional configuration. If you want to enable a plugin that needs additional configuration, send us an email at support@cloudamqp.com with the configuration needed.
