# RabbitMQ Federation Management Plugin
This plugin adds information on federation link status to the management
plugin.
## Installation
In recent releases, this [plugin](https://www.rabbitmq.com/plugins.html) ships with RabbitMQ.
[Enable](https://www.rabbitmq.com/plugins.html#basics) it with
``` shell
rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management rabbitmq_federation_management
```
If you have a heterogenous cluster (where the nodes have different
plugins installed), this should be installed on the same nodes as the
management plugin.
## Use over HTTP API
The HTTP API endpoints allow for retrieval of federation links:
# lists all links
GET /api/federation-links
# lists links in a vhost
GET /api/federation-links/{vhost}
## Building From Source
To [build the plugin](https://www.rabbitmq.com/plugin-development.html), use
make dist
and see under the `./plugins` directory.
