Before the integration of the RabbitMQ and Munin, we need to download all the source code using the git scm tool and copy all of the RabbitMQ-related files to the directory of Munin plugins, as shown in the following command line:

git clone https://github.com/ask/rabbitmq-munin.git
cd rabbitmq-munin
cp rabbitmq* /etc/munin/plugins/

After copying all of the...
