[rabbitmq-discuss] rabbitmq dying

Wed Jun 18 15:49:12 BST 2008

Dave,

I've had a quick look at the log file, and it seems that your clients
are dying, which in turn is badly handled in the broker.

This error

Error in process <0.7321.2> on node 'rabbit at vsdlbblue01' with exit
value: {badarg,[{erlang,port_command,[#Port<0.27825>,[<<7 bytes>>,<<36
bytes>>,<<1 byte>>]]},{rabbit_writer,internal_send_command_async,3},{rabbit_writer,handle_message,2},{rabbit_writer,mainloop,1}]}

suggests that the opposing peer is no longer there and causes a follow
on error message:

Error in process <0.30205.1> on node 'rabbit at vsdlbblue01' with exit
value: {{badmatch,{error,[{exit,{timeout,{gen_server,call,[<0.30206.1>,{notify_down,<0.30204.1>}]}}}]}},[{rabbit_channel,terminate,2},{buffering_proxy,mainloop,4}]}

which is a symptom of the first error not being handled correctly.

There is a bug for this already and will be fixed very soon, please
let us know what the urgency on this is, because we could get a patch
out quicker if necessary.

This is not the complete answer though, which we'll look into, but I
just wanted to give some feedback as soon as possible.

A few questions to help us diagnose this:

- What version of Rabbit are you using?
- Does the Rabbit process actually die or just the TCP listener?

Thanks,

Ben
