How to set/change the default consumer_timeout parameter in AWS MQ rabbitmq brokers?

Question

Dear Support; 
we have switched our broker to `AWS MQ rabbitmq`, but we have realized that some of the tasks we execute have ETA longer than the default rabbitmq `consumer_timeout` parameter, which is set to 30 min for the rabbitmq broker version we use (3.9.16). Despite being easy to reconfigure the parameter locally using the `rabbitmq.conf` file or `rabbitmqctl` tool, I cannot find a way to set it via the broker's web console.

Could you let me know how to do that? I find it frustrating that such fundamental parameters cannot be tweaked easily.

PS. I have also found a thread stating I should open the case with Amazon MQ Support, so there you go.

Answer

Hello there,

Kindly note that we(AWS) currently support the configuration of the consumer_timeout on Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ brokers. You may need to open a support case to Amazon MQ support from your AWS console Support Center and request for your broker to be configured with the desired consumer_timeout.
