Just follow the README. Do you experience any problem in particular?

[carlhoerberg]

Or is you question if you can specify an array of hostname/ip:s to multiple nodes?

[michaelklishin]

Every client is only connected to a single node. Is your question about automatic connection recovery and list host support, something that several other clients have?

[damianof]

Ok so I was able to connect to a cluster by setting 'host' option to an array of hosts like ['127.0.0.1:5672', '127.0.0.1:5673'].

However, looking at the code I see it randomly picks one when you connect. But like michaelklishin mention, does this library also support automatic failover if one of them goes down? Or do I have to implement my own connection recovery?

i'm searching into documentation about connecting to a cluster of brokers, but without success.
@damianof : where do you found documentation about "host" option?

[zweifisch]

automatic failover/connection recovery is not supported

automatic failover/connection recovery is not supported

That's right -- and there's no form of connect that accepts an array of hosts (perhaps you were thinking of node-amqp, @damianof ?)

I have resisted adding reconnection/failover so far -- see #25 for the most extensive discussion.

@damianof See if https://github.com/benbria/node-amqp-connection-manager works for your use case.

Rascal (built on top of amqp.node) might also be of some use. It accepts a list of hosts and will attempt to connect / reconnect to one of them at random, or until all hosts have failed.

@cressie176 please announce it on rabbitmq-users?

[cressie176]

@michaelklishin done. Thanks for the suggestion.
