This is specifically for aliveness test, but could apply to other apis as well

rabbitmqctl add_vhost statuscheckvhost
rabbitmqctl add_user heartbeat alive
rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p statuscheckvhost heartbeat ".*" ".*" ".*"
rabbitmqctl set_user_tags heartbeat management

curl -i -u heartbeat:alive http://127.0.0.1:55672/api/aliveness-test/statuscheckvhost
