RabbitMQ is an open source message broker that enables messaging between File Reporter components that are needed for file content scanning. These components include ManagerFC and AgentFC. If you will not be performing file content scanning, you do not need to install RabbitMQ.
RabbitMQ can be installed using any of the supported distributions found here: http://www.rabbitmq.com/download.html.
In order to assist with the introduction of RabbitMQ into the File Reporter framework, a simplified, supported distribution for Windows has been included with this release. This distribution is meant solely for use in basic scenarios where clustering, containerization, or automated upgrades are not required. The installation steps in this chapter pertain solely to this included distribution. For other RabbitMQ distributions or installers, please follow the accompanying documentation included with them.
NOTE:File Content scanning can only be conducted on files stored on Windows network storage devices and requires that Active Directory be configured as one of the identity systems.
