Charter & Scope

Motivation

It is anticipated that AMQP will grow to global scales of deployment. AMQP will become a critical part of doing business, and consequently the users of it will need to be able to monitor AMQP and manage AMQP deployments within their environment, potentially across several different AMQP implementations.

In order that management does not itself become an avenue for vendor lock-in of the messaging solution, the Management SIG will standardise the critical elements of AMQP's management capabilities.

Objectives

The purpose of the Management SIG is to:

1. Specify the operational and management console services which MUST, SHOULD or MAY be expected of any AMQP compliant message broker
2. Define the logical architecture for how AMQP is managed
3. Document a concrete protocol and management command interface which compliant AMQP brokers must implement

Scope and Schedule

• The Management work can be considered orthogonal to the main specification work stream, consequently, management can evolve at its own schedule, and may not be tied to the main specification releases.
• It is anticipated due to the broad extent of Management that the protocol will be delivered in segments over the next 2 - 3 specification releases.
