Cannot connect rasax to AWS RabbitMQ

I’m facing some issues when i try to connect rasax to AWS RabbitMQ, rasa event service can create new Broker in AWS RabbitMQ but rasa-worker and rasa-production cannot connect to it. I’m using rasax helm chart, here is the logs from rasa-worker and rasa-production:

The error message reads For details see the broker logfile.. Just to check, you’ve been able to inspect these files?

Rasa tries to connect with the username guest although we used rasa username :

PLAIN login refused: user 'guest' - invalid credentials

Just to confirm. You are able to use the same credentials manually to connect to RabbitMQ? Since it reads “invalid credentials” I’d like to double-check that it isn’t due to a typo.

Yes using rasa as username and rasa+123 as passwords works when manually connecting to RabbitMQ. We used rasa/rasa:2.1.2-full but the same error persists

We found the problem, we should pass the username and password in the RabbitMQ URL because rasa event service needs the URL, username and password to connect to RabbitMQ unlike rasa worker and rasa production which need the username and password embedded in the RabbitMQ URL:

event_broker:
  type: pika
  url: "amqps://USER:PASSWORD@host"
  username: USER
  password: PASSWORD
  queues:
  - my_queue

double check all your credentials in your environmental variables or variables in env file or docker-compose file or endpoints.yml
