Remove AMQP Broker Settings from VMware Cloud Director

Products

• VMware Cloud Director

Issue/Introduction

• You would like to remove AMQP Broker settings from VMware Cloud Director.
• Cloud Director Provider portal does not allow the AMQP Broker settings to be removed in the 'Administration -> Settings -> Extensibility -> AMQP Broker' page.

Environment

VMware Cloud Director 10.x

Resolution

To remove the AMQP Broker settings use the Cloud Director API. 

By setting a blank hostname and setting the additional properties to their default values Cloud Director will no longer utilize the AMQP Broker.

To achieve this, run a 'PUT' method to the /admin/extension/settings/amqp API which is detailed in the Cloud Director API documentation here, VMware Cloud Director API - PUT /admin/extension/settings/amqp.
For example:
 

PUT https://vcloud.example.com/api/admin/extension/settings/amqp

Accept: application/*+json;version=39.1
Authorization: Bearer …
Content-Type: application/*+json

{
    "href": https://vcloud.example.com/api/admin/extension/settings/amqp,
    "type": "application/vnd.vmware.admin.amqpSettings+json",
    "amqpHost": "",
    "amqpPort": 5671,
    "amqpUsername": "vcd",
    "amqpPassword": null,
    "amqpExchange": "vcdExchange",
    "amqpVHost": "/",
    "amqpUseSSL": true,
    "amqpPrefix": "vcd",
    "vCloudExtension": []
}
