Is this in 2.4.1 with Simon's patched management plug-in?

That indicates rabbit has paused all producers since memory is tight.

What memory limit does rabbit thinks it has? Check the rabbit.log file 
near the beginning.

Next time you see rabbit stuck like that, please capture the output of 
(nearly) all 'rabbitmqctl list_*' commands i.e. users, vhosts, 
exchanges, queues, bindings, connections, channels, consumers,

Also, if you can, try not to mix producers and consumers on the same 
connection. That will allow consumers to continue receiving messages and 
ack them even when rabbit has blocked producer connections.


Regards,

Matthias.
