Subject: AMQP standard connection properties for process, pid etc


All,

I'd like to restart the discussion about identifying a standard set of
AMQP connection properties that would allow an AMQP container to
communicate to its peer information about itself and its execution
environment.

The use-case for this information is two fold:

- to aid troubleshooting expose process identifier/process name, and
- to assist configuration management expose the names/version of the
product providing the AMQP implementation.

These data-items are particularly valuable for large organisation
where complex messaging systems comprising hundreds or thousands of
applications are common place.   In such organisations, positivity
identifying an errant application or an application using an out of
date library can be challenging: revealing this information in a
standard way helps.

The use of these connection properties by an AMQP implementation would
not be mandatory.  However, standardising the names and value types
will encourage interoperability.

The intention would be to produce AMQP TC Committee Note capturing the
standardised connection properties.

My proposal, which builds on previous work [1], is for four connection
properties.

(1) process_name, which can be used to convey the name of the process
associated with the connection

(2) process_id, which can be used to convey the PID of that same process.

(3) product, which can be used to provide the name of the product
providing the AMQP implementation.

(4) version, which can be used to provide the version information of
the product named by 3).

Comments welcome,

Keith Wall.
