Using AMQP with graphite 9.9

Question

I'm attempting to connect RabbitMQ to Graphite using AMQP that is built into Graphite. However when I uncomment the setting in carbon.conf I get:

notroot@ubuntu:/opt/graphite/bin$ sudo python carbon-cache.py start
Starting carbon-cache (instance a)
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named txamqp.protocol

Answer 1

pip install txamqp

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/txAMQP

because there is no real implementation of amqp in graphite carbon it uses txamqp
