ROCKETMQ ADDON IN ACTION

Run RocketMQ with real cluster operations and console-backed visibility

Operate RocketMQ on Kubernetes with verified workflows for lifecycle, scaling, parameter control, observability, and task history, while showing the current limits around access rules, backup routes, and web-console enablement exactly as the tested console presented them.

Lifecycle

Deploy RocketMQ clusters and follow rolling service operations

Bring up RocketMQ with the tested DLedger topology, keep namesrv, broker, dashboard, and exporter state visible from the overview, and monitor restart and cleanup work from the same console surface.

  • Create RocketMQ 4.9.6 with DLedger mode, baseline compute, and persistent storage in one guided workflow.
  • Track rolling restart activity from the live overview instead of switching to external tooling.
  • Use the same workspace for teardown after validation is complete.

The RocketMQ overview keeps topology and service health visible after the cluster reaches Running.

Rolling restart progress is captured directly from the overview so teams can follow component recovery in place.

Scale

Adjust RocketMQ resources from a guided scaling workflow

RocketMQ exposes Vertical Scaling from the cluster workspace so teams know exactly where broker capacity is changed and can observe the resulting task from the same page.

  • Increase RocketMQ resources from the overview without editing raw Kubernetes objects.
  • Watch the cluster enter `Updating` while new broker resources are being applied.
  • The tested console did not expose a separate leader transfer or rebalance control for this addon.

Scaling captures the real RocketMQ capacity-change workflow and the in-progress state seen during validation.

Parameter

Preview RocketMQ configuration changes before rollout

Use the Parameters workspace to compare old and new values before reconfiguration, keeping engine tuning separate from lifecycle and scaling actions.

  • Inspect RocketMQ parameter values from a dedicated configuration route.
  • Preview exact value changes before submitting reconfiguration work.
  • Keep configuration review clear for teams managing throughput and topic behavior.

RocketMQ parameter changes are previewed before execution so teams can verify the intended rollout.

Data Management

Review account and console handoff paths for RocketMQ workloads

RocketMQ surfaces both the Credentials route and the Data Management handoff to the web console, and the captured workflow makes the current blockers explicit for teams planning tenant onboarding.

  • See default account information and the Create Account entry point from the Credentials page.
  • Open the Data Management enablement flow that would hand users into the RocketMQ web console.
  • The tested console did not open an account-creation form and returned empty selectors in the enablement dialog, so topic and message workflows could not proceed.

The Credentials page shows where RocketMQ user management begins, even though the tested environment did not open the creation form.

The Data Management handoff shows the current enablement blocker that prevented access to the RocketMQ web console during validation.

Observability

Monitor RocketMQ components and inspect runtime messages

Keep RocketMQ visibility close to the cluster by combining monitor dashboards with runtime logs for brokers, synchronization, registration, and ACL watcher activity.

  • Open hydrated Cluster Monitor and Resource Monitor panels from the RocketMQ broker context.
  • Inspect live log lines for broker registration, slave sync, and watcher behavior.
  • Use the same console surface for both health monitoring and troubleshooting.

Metrics panels give teams live RocketMQ health and resource visibility from the broker perspective.

Runtime logs reveal RocketMQ broker, sync, and watcher activity without leaving the console.

Audit

Keep RocketMQ change history visible from task records

Use task history to review which reconfiguration, restart, and scaling actions ran against RocketMQ and what state they reached during validation.

  • Track RocketMQ restart and reconfiguration results from one task timeline.
  • Review scaling activity alongside other day-2 actions for faster change validation.
  • Use task history as practical evidence for operational review and troubleshooting.

Task history preserves the richest RocketMQ operation trail from the tested console session.
