title: Find and query RabbitMQ data in New Relic
source: https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/opentelemetry/integrations/rabbitmq/find-and-query-data
---

Once your RabbitMQ monitoring is configured with OpenTelemetry, your metrics will appear across multiple locations in New Relic. This guide shows you where to find your data and how to query it effectively.

## Navigate to your RabbitMQ data [#find-data]

Your RabbitMQ metrics appear in several places across the New Relic platform, each optimized for different use cases:

### 1. Entity explorer

Best for: Quick health checks and entity relationships

1.  Go to **[one.newrelic.com](https://one.newrelic.com) > All capabilities > On host integrations**
2.  View automatically created RabbitMQ entities from your metrics

### 2. Pre-built dashboards

Best for: Comprehensive monitoring and visualization

1.  Go to **[one.newrelic.com](https://one.newrelic.com) > Dashboards > Recommended dashboards (View all)**
2.  Search for **"OpenTelemetry RabbitMQ"**

### 3. Third-party services

Best for: Integration-focused monitoring

1.  Go to **[one.newrelic.com](https://one.newrelic.com) > All capabilities > Infrastructure > Third-party services**
2.  Search for **"RabbitMQ"** to quickly find your monitored instances

## Query your RabbitMQ data [#query-data]

All RabbitMQ metrics include the `instrumentation.provider = 'opentelemetry'` attribute. Here are some useful queries:

### View all available metrics

```sql
SELECT count(*)
FROM Metric
WHERE metricName LIKE 'rabbitmq.%'
  AND instrumentation.provider = 'opentelemetry'
FACET metricName
SINCE 10 minutes ago
```

### Monitor queue depths

```sql
SELECT latest(rabbitmq.queue.message.count)
FROM Metric
WHERE instrumentation.provider = 'opentelemetry'
FACET rabbitmq.queue.name
TIMESERIES
```

### Track consumer lag

```sql
SELECT latest(rabbitmq.queue.message.unacknowledged)
FROM Metric
WHERE instrumentation.provider = 'opentelemetry'
  AND rabbitmq.queue.name = 'your-queue-name'
TIMESERIES
```

## Available metrics [#metrics]

The integration collects these categories of metrics:

| Category               | What it measures              | Example metrics                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Queue metrics**      | Message flow and queue health | - `rabbitmq.queue.message.count` - Total messages - `rabbitmq.queue.message.ready` - Messages ready for delivery - `rabbitmq.queue.message.unacknowledged` - Messages being processed - `rabbitmq.queue.consumer.count` - Active consumers |
| **Connection metrics** | Client connectivity           | - `rabbitmq.connection.count` - Active connections - `rabbitmq.consumer.count` - Total consumers across all queues                                                                                                                         |
