There is no option in the RabbitMQ admin console or using the rabbitmqctl or rabbitmqadmin command line tools to rename a queue. However, the following can be done to rename a queue.
- Create a new queue using the admin console or using the rabbitmqadmin command
- Bind the new queue to the exchanges that will be putting messages on the queue, using the admin console or using the rabbitmqadmin command
- Unbind the old queue from the exchanges using the admin console or rabbitmqadmin command
- Move the messages from the old queue to the new queue using the admin console
