Amazon MQ for ActiveMQ broker configurations

A configuration contains all of the settings for your ActiveMQ broker in XML format (similar to ActiveMQ's activemq.xml file). You can create a configuration before creating any brokers. You can then apply the configuration to one or more brokers.

Important

Making changes to a configuration does not apply the changes to the broker immediately. To apply your changes, you must wait for the next maintenance window or reboot the broker.

Currently, you can't delete a configuration.

Attributes

A broker configuration has several attributes, for example:

  • A name (MyConfiguration)

  • An ID (c-1234a5b6-78cd-901e-2fgh-3i45j6k178l9)

  • An Amazon Resource Name (ARN) (arn:aws:mq:us-east-2:123456789012:configuration:c-1234a5b6-78cd-901e-2fgh-3i45j6k178l9)

Using Spring XML configuration files

ActiveMQ brokers are configured using Spring XML files. You can configure many aspects of your ActiveMQ broker, such as predefined destinations, destination policies, authorization policies, and plugins. Amazon MQ controls some of these configuration elements, such as network transports and storage. Other configuration options, such as creating networks of brokers, aren't currently supported.

The full set of supported configuration options is specified in the Amazon MQ XML schemas. Download zip files of the supported schemas using the following links.

You can use these schemas to validate and sanitize your configuration files. Amazon MQ also lets you provide configurations by uploading XML files. When you upload an XML file, Amazon MQ automatically sanitizes and removes invalid and prohibited configuration parameters according to the schema.

Note

You can use only static values for attributes. Amazon MQ sanitizes elements and attributes that contain Spring expressions, variables, and element references from your configuration.
