A future RabbitMQ release will replicate retained messages in the cluster and also send retained messages matching topic filters containing wildcards.

Does this issue also takes track also of the first part about the retained messages that are not replicated in the cluster? In my case this is a big limitation, is there any work in progress or ETA for that?

No, this is tracked in #8096

is there any work in progress or ETA for that?

No. For the time being you can write your own plugin as for example done in https://github.com/gery0815/rabbitmq-mqtt-retained-msg-redis

@ansd Thanks for that! Is there any mongodb alternative? Otherwise we could create one

Is there any mongodb alternative?

I'm not aware of a mongodb plugin.

Hi, we ran into the same issue. Even though rabbitmq is our preferred broker, we can't use it because of this issue. We unfortunately we don't have anybody knowing anything about writing erlang. Thus we can't provide a PR for this.

We are willing to financially support anybody, who is willing to fix this. Who would be the right point of contact? @ansd?

@juergen-albert are you referring to only this issue or also to #8096?
If you are referring to only this issue, I assume you run only a single node RabbitMQ cluster?

Right now, I refer only to this issue and yes we are currently run on a single node.

@juergen-albert please contact [email protected] to become a commercial VMware Tanzu RabbitMQ customer in order to discuss prioritisation of this feature.
