Ok, I'm trying this approach to found a solutions to solve a problem that I
reported here that RabbitMQ crash when my queue size take a big volume,
always time that queue size have ~700.000/200Bytes messages Rabbit simple
crash and don't write any log. This is my big concerns once we don't have a
good way to monitoring queue size (i.e messages buffers and etc)
