Using the AMQP Plug-In 15
The AMQP plug-in allows you to interact with Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) servers also
known as brokers. You can define AMQP brokers and queue subscriptions as inventory objects by running
configuration workflows, and perform AMQP operations on defined objects.
The plug-in contains a set of standard workflows related to managing AMQP brokers and calling AMQP
operations.
