Overview - CloudAMQP Console

Instance Details screenshot

In the Overview, you find helpful information about how to connect to your instance, including the hostname, password, and username, among other things. The data will be available when the instance is created.

Host

The hostname of your instance.

If you have a multi-node cluster, you will see the hostname of all hosts.

The load-balanced host is a DNS load balancer in front of the cluster, and it will round robin to the different nodes automatically. If one node in a cluster goes down, it will be removed from the rotation, so the other nodes will still handle the traffic until the node is back.

Region

Cloud and data center region.

Created at

The date and time the instance was created.

User & Vhost

Default user and vhost.

Password

Password for default user.

AMQP URL

The connections URL to connect clients

MQTT Details

Hostname, ports, username, and password used to connect using MQTT.

API Access

API Key to use with the CloudAMQP API, CloudAMQP API docs

Shows obscured data when clicked.
Copy password, AMQP URL and API Key Copy Password Button
Copies the data to your clipboard when clicked.
Rotate password Rotate Password Button
Creates a new password for the default user when clicked.

Current connections will not be affected, but new connections using the default user will need to have the password updated.

This button will take you to the upgrade process, where you can select the new plan and number of nodes you want to change to.
