sr_shovel foreground|start|stop|restart|reload|status configfile
sr_shovel cleanup|declare|setup configfile
sr_shovel copies messages on one broker (given by the broker option) to another (given by the post_broker option.) subject to filtering by (exchange, subtopic, and optionally, accept/reject.)
The topic_prefix option must to be set to:
- v02.post to shovel sr_post(7) messages
- v02.log to shovel sr_report(7) messages
There is no default. On startup, the sr_shovel component takes two argument: an action start|stop|restart|reload|status... (self explanatory.) and a configuration file described below.
The actions cleanup, declare, setup can be used to manage resources on the rabbitmq server. The resources are either queues or exchanges. declare creates the resources. setup creates and additionnaly does the bindings of queues.
sr_shovel is an sr_subscribe with the following presets:
no-download True
suppress_duplicates offIn general, the options for this component are described by the sr_subscribe(1) page which should be read first. It fully explains the option configuration language, and how to find the option settings.
There is no required option for posting messages. By default, the program publishes the selected consumed message with its exchange onto the current cluster, with the feeder account.
The user can overwrite the defaults with options :
- post_broker amqp{s}://<user>:<pw>@<post_brokerhost>[:port]/<vhost>
- post_exchange <name> (default: None)
- post_exchange_split <number> (default: 0)
- on_post <script_name> (optional)
The post_broker option sets the credential information to connect to the output RabbitMQ server. The default is the value of the feeder option in default.conf.
The post_exchange option sets a new exchange for the selected messages. The default is to publish under the exchange it was consumed.
The post_exchange_split is documented in sr_subscribe.
Before a message is published, a user can set to trigger a script. The option on_post would be used to do such a setup. The message is only published if the script returns True.
If a queue builds up on a broker because a subscriber is unable to process messages, overall broker performance will suffer, so leaving the queue lying around is a problem. As an administrator, one could keep a configuration like this around:
% more ~/tools/save.conf
broker amqp://tfeed@localhost/
topic_prefix v02.post
exchange xpublic
post_rate_limit 50
on_post post_rate_limit
post_broker amqp://tfeed@localhost/The configuration relies on the use of an administrator or feeder account. Note the queue which has messages in it, in this case q_tsub.sr_subscribe.t.99524171.43129428. Invoke the shovel in save mode to consume messages from the queue and save them to disk:
% cd ~/tools
% sr_shovel -save -queue q_tsub.sr_subscribe.t.99524171.43129428 foreground save.conf

%The messages are written to a file in the caching directory for future use, with the name of the file being based on the configuration name used. The file is in json format, one message per line (lines are very long) and so filtering with other tools is possible to modify the list of saved messages. Note that a single save file per configuration is automatically set, so to save multiple queues, one would need one configuration file per queue to be saved. Once the subscriber is back in service, one can return the messages saved to a file into the same queue:

%All the messages saved are returned to the named return_to_queue. Note that the use of the post_rate_limit plugin prevents the queue from being flooded with hundreds of messages per second. The rate limit to use will need to be tuned in practice.
