Stumped at RabbitMQ Config Screen

Greetings,

I am trying to configure my newly-upgraded 4.5 agent on a host that's running RabbitMQ. I enter user name and password fo the account that's running RMQ server but get rejected with "host name cannot be null."

I enter user name as User@Host but it's not accepted. Is the account a unix account or RabbitMQ account? Is this a erlang cookie problem?

Thoroughly stumped,

/David

Follow-up: here's a screenshot of the configuration dialog for RMQ:

I don't see a field for host, perhaps there is a special format for User@Host?

Thanks,

/D

Yeah, and here's the error when entering user/pass:

2010-12-13 21:53:37,552 ERROR [Thread-1] [MeasurementCommandsService] Error getting real time measurement: Plugin error: Please configure a username and password for the broker.

I think I know - RabbitMQ version I'm running is at 1.7.2 and the plugin is advertised to work with 1.8.2 or better. #ugh
