KEDA not scaling pods based on RabbitMQ queue length

Time:07-07

I'm trying to use KEDA to auto-scale a Celery worker pod based on the current length of a RabbitMQ message queue. The worker runs as expected, however, it is not scaling under load.

For reference, I'm using KEDA v2.7.1.

Logs from keda-operator pod:

1.6569289126033094e 09  ERROR   controller.scaledobject Reconciler error        {"reconciler group": "keda.sh", "reconciler kind": "ScaledObject", "name": "celery-worker-scaler", "namespace": "default", "error": "error establishing rabbitmq connection: dial tcp: lookup rabbitmq on 10.96.0.10:53: server misbehaving"}

Clearly there is some issue with connecting to the rabbitmq pod

CodePudding user response:

The keda.yaml file is applied in the keda namespace (even though I wrote default at the top). Since my rabbitmq pod is in the default namespace, I had to set the host as follows: amqp://guest:[email protected]:5672
