systemctl status rabbitmq-server

Step 10 : Enable RabbitMQ Management Plugin

rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management

Step 11 : Create an Admin User

Replace admin_password with a strong password:

sudo rabbitmqctl add_user admin your_password
sudo rabbitmqctl set_user_tags admin administrator
sudo rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p / admin ".*" ".*" ".*"

Step 12 : Configure Firewall (If Enabled)

sudo firewall-cmd --add-port={5672,15672}/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Step 13 : Access RabbitMQ Management Interface
