QPID-PRINTEVENTS(1)

📦 version 1.39.0, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💅 QPID-PRINTEVENTS(1) — like, the user commands one, bestie 🎀

okay so this is qpid-printevents, and it lives in the User Commands section of the manual (iykyk), and it literally just collects events and prints them. that's the whole vibe. let's go ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

qpid-printevents — Collect and Print Events. that's it. that's the job. she collects, she prints, she slays 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

qpid-printevents [options] [broker-addr]...

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

qpid-printevents [options] [broker-addr]...

so what she does is: collect and print events from one or more Qpid message brokers. multiple brokers. she's multitasking, she's main character energy 👑

if you don't give her a broker-addr at all? no worries, she's not gonna sit there and pout — she just connects to 'localhost:5672' by default. comfy. lowkey her comfort zone 🫶

here's the [broker-addr] syntax, memorize it bestie:

[username/password@] hostname ip-address [:<port>]

so: optional username/password@ situation, then a hostname or an ip-address, then optionally a :<port> if you're feeling spicy 🌶️

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -h, --help — shows this help message and exits. the "wait what does this do again" button 🙈
  • --heartbeats — Use heartbeats. keep that connection alive, keep it beating, we love a pulse 💓
  • --sasl-mechanism=<mech> — SASL mechanism for authentication (e.g. EXTERNAL, ANONYMOUS, PLAIN, CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, GSSAPI). here's the thing though: SASL already automatically picks the most secure available mechanism on its own — use this option to override that. so like, only if you really want to ✋
  • --sasl-service-name=SASL_SERVICE_NAME — SASL service name to use. yes the placeholder is literally SASL_SERVICE_NAME. iconic of them tbh 🎀
  • --ssl-certificate=<cert> — Client SSL certificate (PEM Format). PEM Format, bestie, don't forget 🔐
  • --ssl-key=<key> — Client SSL private key (PEM Format). also PEM Format. keep it secret, keep it safe 🔑
  • --ha-admin — Allow connection to a HA backup broker. yes, backup. the understudy gets a moment 🌟

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

Examples, baby! the fun part 🎉

$ qpid-printevents localhost:5672
$ qpid-printevents 10.1.1.7:10000
$ qpid-printevents guest/guest@broker-host:10000

see? guest/guest@ before the host when you need creds. ate 💅
