.Sh DESCRIPTION
.\" ------------------------------------------------------------------
RabbitMQ is an implementation of AMQP, the emerging standard for high
performance enterprise messaging.
The RabbitMQ Server is a robust and scalable implementation of an AMQP
broker.
.Pp
.Nm
is a command line tool for managing a RabbitMQ broker.
It performs all actions by connecting to one of the broker's nodes.
.Pp
Diagnostic information is displayed if the broker was not running, could
not be reached, or rejected the connection due to mismatching Erlang
cookies.
.\" ------------------------------------------------------------------
.Sh OPTIONS
.\" ------------------------------------------------------------------
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl n Ar node
Default node is
.Qq Pf rabbit@ Ar server ,
where
.Ar server
is the local host.
On a host named
.Qq myserver.example.com ,
the node name of the RabbitMQ Erlang node will usually be
.Qq rabbit@myserver
(unless
.Ev RABBITMQ_NODENAME
has been set to some non-default value at broker startup time).
The output of
.Qq hostname -s
is usually the correct suffix to use after the
.Qq @
sign.
See
.Xr rabbitmq-server 8
for details of configuring the RabbitMQ broker.
.It Fl q , -quiet
Quiet output mode is selected.
Informational messages are suppressed when quiet mode is in effect.
.It Fl -dry-run
Do not run the command.
Only print information message.
.It Fl t Ar timeout , Fl -timeout Ar timeout
Operation timeout in seconds.
Only applicable to
.Qq list
commands.
Default is
.Cm infinity .
.It Fl l , Fl -longnames
Use longnames for erlang distribution.
If RabbitMQ broker uses long node names for erlang distribution, the
option must be specified.
.It Fl -erlang-cookie Ar cookie
Erlang distribution cookie.
If RabbitMQ node is using a custom erlang cookie value, the cookie value
must be set vith this parameter.

.Ss Application Management
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm force_reset
Forcefully returns a RabbitMQ node to its virgin state.
.Pp
The
.Cm force_reset
command differs from
.Cm reset
in that it resets the node unconditionally, regardless of the current
management database state and cluster configuration.
It should only be used as a last resort if the database or cluster
configuration has been corrupted.
.Pp
For
.Cm reset
and
.Cm force_reset
to succeed the RabbitMQ application must have been stopped, e.g. with
.Cm stop_app .
.Pp
For example, to reset the RabbitMQ node:
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl force_reset
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm hipe_compile Ar directory
Performs HiPE-compilation and caches resulting
.Pa .beam Ns -files in the given directory.
.Pp
Parent directories are created if necessary.
Any existing
.Pa .beam
files from the directory are automatically deleted prior to compilation.
.Pp
To use this precompiled files, you should set
.Ev RABBITMQ_SERVER_CODE_PATH
environment variable to directory specified in
.Cm hipe_compile
invokation.
.Pp
For example, to HiPE-compile modules and store them to
.Pa /tmp/rabbit-hipe/ebin
directory:
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl hipe_compile /tmp/rabbit-hipe/ebin
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm reset
Returns a RabbitMQ node to its virgin state.
.Pp
Removes the node from any cluster it belongs to, removes all data from
the management database, such as configured users and vhosts, and
deletes all persistent messages.
.Pp
For
.Cm reset
and
.Cm force_reset
to succeed the RabbitMQ application must have been stopped, e.g. with
.Cm stop_app .
.Pp
For example, to resets the RabbitMQ node:
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl reset
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm rotate_logs
Instructs the RabbitMQ node to perform internal log rotation.
.Pp
Log rotation is performed according to lager settings specified in
configuration file.
.Pp
Note that there is no need to call this command in case of external log
rotation (e.g. from logrotate(8)), because lager detects renames and
automatically reopens log files.
.Pp
For example, this command starts internal log rotation
process:
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl rotate_logs
.Pp
Rotation is performed asynchronously, so there is no guarantee that it
will be completed when this command returns.
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm shutdown
Shuts down the Erlang process on which RabbitMQ is running.
The command is blocking and will return after the Erlang process exits.
If RabbitMQ fails to stop, it will return a non-zero exit code.
.Pp
Unlike the stop command, the shutdown command:
.Bl -bullet
.It
does not require a
.Ar pid_file
to wait for the Erlang process to exit
.It
returns a non-zero exit code if RabbitMQ node is not running
.El
.Pp
For example, to shut down the Erlang process on which RabbitMQ is
running:
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl shutdown
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm start_app
Starts the RabbitMQ application.
.Pp
This command is typically run after performing other management actions
that required the RabbitMQ application to be stopped, e.g.\&
.Cm reset .
.Pp
For example, to instruct the RabbitMQ node to start the RabbitMQ
application:
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl start_app
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm stop Op Ar pid_file
Stops the Erlang node on which RabbitMQ is running.
To restart the node follow the instructions for
.Qq Running the Server
in the
.Lk http://www.rabbitmq.com/download.html installation guide .
.Pp
If a
.Ar pid_file
is specified, also waits for the process specified there to terminate.
See the description of the
.Cm wait
command for details on this file.
.Pp
For example, to instruct the RabbitMQ node to terminate:
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl stop
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm stop_app
Stops the RabbitMQ application, leaving the Erlang node running.
.Pp
This command is typically run prior to performing other management
actions that require the RabbitMQ application to be stopped, e.g.\&
.Cm reset .
.Pp
For example, to instruct the RabbitMQ node to stop the RabbitMQ
application:
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl stop_app
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm wait Ar pid_file , Cm wait Fl -pid Ar pid
Waits for the RabbitMQ application to start.
.Pp
This command will wait for the RabbitMQ application to start at the
node.
It will wait for the pid file to be created if
.Ar pidfile
is specified, then for a process with a pid specified in the pid file or
the
.Fl -pid
argument, and then for the RabbitMQ application to start in that process.
It will fail if the process terminates without starting the RabbitMQ
application.
.Pp
If the specified pidfile is not created or erlang node is not started within
.Fl -timeout
the command will fail.
Default timeout is 10 seconds.
.Pp
A suitable pid file is created by the
.Xr rabbitmq-server 8
script.
By default this is located in the Mnesia directory.
Modify the
.Ev RABBITMQ_PID_FILE
environment variable to change the location.
.Pp
For example, this command will return when the RabbitMQ node has started
up:
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl wait /var/run/rabbitmq/pid
.\" ------------------------------------
.El
.Ss Cluster Management
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm join_cluster Ar clusternode Op Fl -ram
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Ar clusternode
Node to cluster with.
.It Fl -ram
If provided, the node will join the cluster as a RAM node.
.El
.Pp
Instructs the node to become a member of the cluster that the specified
node is in.
Before clustering, the node is reset, so be careful when using this
command.
For this command to succeed the RabbitMQ application must have been
stopped, e.g. with
.Cm stop_app .
.Pp
Cluster nodes can be of two types: disc or RAM.
Disc nodes replicate data in RAM and on disc, thus providing redundancy
in the event of node failure and recovery from global events such as
power failure across all nodes.
RAM nodes replicate data in RAM only (with the exception of queue
contents, which can reside on disc if the queue is persistent or too big
to fit in memory) and are mainly used for scalability.
RAM nodes are more performant only when managing resources (e.g.\&
adding/removing queues, exchanges, or bindings).
A cluster must always have at least one disc node, and usually should
have more than one.
.Pp
The node will be a disc node by default.
If you wish to create a RAM node, provide the
.Fl -ram
flag.
.Pp
After executing the
.Cm join_cluster
command, whenever the RabbitMQ application is started on the current
node it will attempt to connect to the nodes that were in the cluster
when the node went down.
.Pp
To leave a cluster,
.Cm reset
the node.
You can also remove nodes remotely with the
.Cm forget_cluster_node
command.
.Pp
For more details see the
.Lk http://www.rabbitmq.com/clustering.html Clustering guide .
.Pp
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ node to join the cluster that
.Qq hare@elena
is part of, as a ram node:
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl join_cluster hare@elena --ram
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm cluster_status
Displays all the nodes in the cluster grouped by node type, together
with the currently running nodes.
.Pp
For example, this command displays the nodes in the cluster:
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl cluster_status
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm change_cluster_node_type Ar type
Changes the type of the cluster node.
.Pp
The
.Ar type
must be one of the following:
.Bl -bullet -compact
.It
.Cm disc
.It
.Cm ram
.El
.Pp
The node must be stopped for this operation to succeed, and when turning
a node into a RAM node the node must not be the only disc node in the
cluster.
.Pp
For example, this command will turn a RAM node into a disc node:
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl change_cluster_node_type disc
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm forget_cluster_node Op Fl -offline
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl -offline
Enables node removal from an offline node.
This is only useful in the situation where all the nodes are offline and
the last node to go down cannot be brought online, thus preventing the
whole cluster from starting.
It should not be used in any other circumstances since it can lead to
inconsistencies.
.El
.Pp
Removes a cluster node remotely.
The node that is being removed must be offline, while the node we are
removing from must be online, except when using the
.Fl -offline
flag.
.Pp
When using the
.Fl -offline
flag ,
.Nm
will not attempt to connect to a node as normal; instead it will
temporarily become the node in order to make the change.
This is useful if the node cannot be started normally.
In this case the node will become the canonical source for cluster
metadata (e.g. which queues exist), even if it was not before.
Therefore you should use this command on the latest node to shut down if
at all possible.
.Pp
For example, this command will remove the node
.Qq rabbit@stringer
from the node
.Qq hare@mcnulty :
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl -n hare@mcnulty forget_cluster_node rabbit@stringer
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm rename_cluster_node Ar oldnode1 Ar newnode1 Op Ar oldnode2 Ar newnode2 ...
Supports renaming of cluster nodes in the local database.
.Pp
This subcommand causes
.Nm
to temporarily become the node in order to make the change.
The local cluster node must therefore be completely stopped; other nodes
can be online or offline.
.Pp
This subcommand takes an even number of arguments, in pairs representing
the old and new names for nodes.
You must specify the old and new names for this node and for any other
nodes that are stopped and being renamed at the same time.
.Pp
It is possible to stop all nodes and rename them all simultaneously (in
which case old and new names for all nodes must be given to every node)
or stop and rename nodes one at a time (in which case each node only
needs to be told how its own name is changing).
.Pp
For example, this command will rename the node
.Qq rabbit@misshelpful
to the node
.Qq rabbit@cordelia
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl rename_cluster_node rabbit@misshelpful rabbit@cordelia
.Pp
Note that this command only changes the local database.
It may also be necessary to rename the local database directories,
and to configure the new node name.
For example:
.sp
.Bl -enum -compact
.It
Stop the node:
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl stop rabbit@misshelpful
.sp
.It
Rename the node in the local database:
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl rename_cluster_node rabbit@misshelpful rabbit@cordelia
.sp
.It
Rename the local database directories (note, you do not need to do this
if you have set the RABBITMQ_MNESIA_DIR environment variable):
.sp
.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
mv \\
  /var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia/rabbit\\@misshelpful \\
  /var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia/rabbit\\@cordelia
mv \\
  /var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia/rabbit\\@misshelpful-rename \\
  /var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia/rabbit\\@cordelia-rename
mv \\
  /var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia/rabbit\\@misshelpful-plugins-expand \\
  /var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia/rabbit\\@cordelia-plugins-expand
.Ed
.sp
.It
If you have
.Ar /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-env.conf
and configured the node name there, update this configuration.
.sp
.It
Start the node when ready
.El
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm update_cluster_nodes Ar clusternode
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Ar clusternode
The node to consult for up-to-date information.
.El
.Pp
Instructs an already clustered node to contact
.Ar clusternode
to cluster when waking up.
This is different from
.Cm join_cluster
since it does not join any cluster - it checks that the node is already
in a cluster with
.Ar clusternode .
.Pp
The need for this command is motivated by the fact that clusters can
change while a node is offline.
Consider the situation in which node
.Va A
and
.Va B
are clustered.
.Va A
goes down,
.Va C
clusters with
.Va B ,
and then
.Va B
leaves the cluster.
When
.Va A
wakes up, it'll try to contact
.Va B ,
but this will fail since
.Va B
is not in the cluster anymore.
The following command will solve this situation:
.sp
.Dl update_cluster_nodes -n Va A Va C
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm force_boot
Ensures that the node will start next time, even if it was not the last
to shut down.
.Pp
Normally when you shut down a RabbitMQ cluster altogether, the first
node you restart should be the last one to go down, since it may have
seen things happen that other nodes did not.
But sometimes that's not possible: for instance if the entire cluster
loses power then all nodes may think they were not the last to shut
down.
.Pp
In such a case you can invoke
.Cm force_boot
while the node is down.
This will tell the node to unconditionally start next time you ask it
to.
If any changes happened to the cluster after this node shut down, they
will be lost.
.Pp
If the last node to go down is permanently lost then you should use
.Cm forget_cluster_node Fl -offline
in preference to this command, as it will ensure that mirrored queues
which were mastered on the lost node get promoted.
.Pp
For example, this will force the node not to wait for other nodes next
time it is started:
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl force_boot
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm sync_queue Oo Fl p Ar vhost Oc Ar queue
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Ar queue
The name of the queue to synchronise.
.El
.Pp
Instructs a mirrored queue with unsynchronised slaves to synchronise
itself.
The queue will block while synchronisation takes place (all publishers
to and consumers from the queue will block).
The queue must be mirrored for this command to succeed.
.Pp
Note that unsynchronised queues from which messages are being drained
will become synchronised eventually.
This command is primarily useful for queues which are not being drained.
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm cancel_sync_queue Oo Fl p Ar vhost Oc Ar queue
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Ar queue
The name of the queue to cancel synchronisation for.
.El
.Pp
Instructs a synchronising mirrored queue to stop synchronising itself.
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm purge_queue Oo Fl p Ar vhost Oc Ar queue
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Ar queue
The name of the queue to purge.
.El
.Pp
Purges a queue (removes all messages in it).
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm set_cluster_name Ar name
Sets the cluster name to
.Ar name .
The cluster name is announced to clients on connection, and used by the
federation and shovel plugins to record where a message has been.
The cluster name is by default derived from the hostname of the first
node in the cluster, but can be changed.
.Pp
For example, this sets the cluster name to
.Qq london :
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl set_cluster_name london
.El
.Ss User Management
Note that
.Nm
manages the RabbitMQ internal user database.
Users from any alternative authentication backend will not be visible to
.Nm .
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm add_user Ar username Ar password
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Ar username
The name of the user to create.
.It Ar password
The password the created user will use to log in to the broker.
.El
.Pp
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to create a (non-administrative) user named
.Qq tonyg
with (initial) password
.Qq changeit :
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl add_user tonyg changeit
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm delete_user Ar username
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Ar username
The name of the user to delete.
.El
.Pp
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to delete the user named
.Qq tonyg :
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl delete_user tonyg
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm change_password Ar username Ar newpassword
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Ar username
The name of the user whose password is to be changed.
.It Ar newpassword
The new password for the user.
.El
.Pp
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to change the
password for the user named
.Qq tonyg
to
.Qq newpass :
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl change_password tonyg newpass
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm clear_password Ar username
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Ar username
The name of the user whose password is to be cleared.
.El
.Pp
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to clear the
password for the user named
.Qq tonyg :
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl clear_password tonyg
.Pp
This user now cannot log in with a password (but may be able to through
e.g. SASL EXTERNAL if configured).
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm authenticate_user Ar username Ar password
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Ar username
The name of the user.
.It Ar password
The password of the user.
.El
.Pp
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to authenticate the user named
.Qq tonyg
with password
.Qq verifyit :
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl authenticate_user tonyg verifyit
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm set_user_tags Ar username Op Ar tag ...
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Ar username
The name of the user whose tags are to be set.
.It Ar tag
Zero, one or more tags to set.
Any existing tags will be removed.
.El
.Pp
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to ensure the user named
.Qq tonyg
is an administrator:
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl set_user_tags tonyg administrator
.Pp
This has no effect when the user logs in via AMQP, but can be used to
permit the user to manage users, virtual hosts and permissions when
the user logs in via some other means (for example with the management
plugin).
.Pp
This command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to remove any tags from the user named
.Qq tonyg :
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl set_user_tags tonyg
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm list_users
Lists users.
Each result row will contain the user name followed by a list of the
tags set for that user.
.Pp
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to list all users:
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl list_users
.El
.Ss Access Control
Note that
.Nm
manages the RabbitMQ internal user database.
Permissions for users from any alternative authorisation backend will
not be visible to
.Nm .
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm add_vhost Ar vhost
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Ar vhost
The name of the virtual host entry to create.
.El
.Pp
Creates a virtual host.
.Pp
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to create a new
virtual host called
.Qq test :
.Pp
.Dl rabbitmqctl add_vhost test
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm delete_vhost Ar vhost
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Ar vhost
The name of the virtual host entry to delete.
.El
.Pp
Deletes a virtual host.
.Pp
Deleting a virtual host deletes all its exchanges, queues, bindings,
user permissions, parameters and policies.
.Pp
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to delete the
virtual host called
.Qq test :
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl delete_vhost test
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm list_vhosts Op Ar vhostinfoitem ...
Lists virtual hosts.
.Pp
The
.Ar vhostinfoitem
parameter is used to indicate which virtual host information items to
include in the results.
The column order in the results will match the order of the parameters.
.Ar vhostinfoitem
can take any value from the list that follows:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Cm name
The name of the virtual host with non-ASCII characters escaped as in C.
.It Cm tracing
Whether tracing is enabled for this virtual host.
.El
.Pp
If no
.Ar vhostinfoitem
are specified then the vhost name is displayed.
.Pp
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to list all
virtual hosts:
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl list_vhosts name tracing
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm set_permissions Oo Fl p Ar vhost Oc Ar user Ar conf Ar write Ar read
.Bl -tag -width Ds

granted configure permissions.
.It Ar write
A regular expression matching resource names for which the user is
granted write permissions.
.It Ar read
A regular expression matching resource names for which the user is
granted read permissions.
.El
.Pp
Sets user permissions.
.Pp
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to grant the
user named
.Qq tonyg
access to the virtual host called
.Qq /myvhost ,
with configure permissions on all resources whose names starts with
.Qq tonyg- ,
and write and read permissions on all resources:
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p /myvhost tonyg Qo ^tonyg-.* Qc Qo .* Qc Qq .*
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm clear_permissions Oo Fl p Ar vhost Oc Ar username

defaulting to
.Qq / .
.It Ar username
The name of the user to deny access to the specified virtual host.
.El
.Pp
Sets user permissions.
.Pp
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to deny the user
named
.Qq tonyg
access to the virtual host called
.Qq /myvhost :
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl clear_permissions -p /myvhost tonyg
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm list_permissions Op Fl p Ar vhost

.It Ar vhost
The name of the virtual host for which to list the users that have been
granted access to it, and their permissions.
Defaults to
.Qq / .
.El
.Pp
Lists permissions in a virtual host.
.Pp
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to list all the
users which have been granted access to the virtual host called
.Qq /myvhost ,
and the permissions they have for operations on resources in that
virtual host.
Note that an empty string means no permissions granted:
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl list_permissions -p /myvhost
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm list_user_permissions Ar username
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Ar username
The name of the user for which to list the permissions.
.El
.Pp
Lists user permissions.
.Pp
For example, this command instructs the RabbitMQ broker to list all the
virtual hosts to which the user named
.Qq tonyg
has been granted access, and the permissions the user has for operations
on resources in these virtual hosts:
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl list_user_permissions tonyg
.\" ------------------------------------
.It Cm set_topic_permissions Oo Fl p Ar vhost Oc Ar user Ar exchange Ar write Ar read
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Ar vhost
The name of the virtual host to which to grant the user access,
defaulting to
.Qq / .
.It Ar user
The name of the user the permissions apply to in the target virtual host.
.It Ar exchange
The name of the topic exchange the authorisation check will be applied to.
.It Ar write
A regular expression matching the routing key of the published message.
.It Ar read
A regular expression matching the routing key of the consumed message.
.El
.Pp
Sets user topic permissions.

virtual host with a routing key starting with
.Qq tonyg- :
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl set_topic_permissions -p /myvhost tonyg amq.topic Qo ^tonyg-.* Qc Qo ^tonyg-.* Qc
.Pp
Topic permissions support variable expansion for the following variables:
username, vhost, and client_id. Note that client_id is expanded only when using MQTT.
The previous example could be made more generic by using
.Qq ^{username}-.* :
.sp
.Dl rabbitmqctl set_topic_permissions -p /myvhost tonyg amq.topic Qo ^{username}-.* Qc Qo ^{username}-.* Qc
.\" ------------------------------------

.Ss Parameter Management
Certain features of RabbitMQ (such as the federation plugin) are
controlled by dynamic, cluster-wide
.Em parameters.
There are 2 kinds of parameters: parameters scoped to a virtual host and
global parameters.
Each vhost-scoped parameter consists of a component name, a name and a
value.
The component name and name are strings, and the value is an Erlang term.
A global parameter consists of a name and value.
The name is a string and the value is an Erlang term.
Parameters can be set, cleared and listed.
In general you should refer to the documentation for the feature in
question to see how to set parameters.
