Hi folks,
We are trying to determine what is going under the hood in our rabbitmq server because It because unresponsive last night and we have to restart it. When I say unresponsive, it means it was no longer accepting AMQP connections from our webservers.
When we run following command:
/usr/sbin/rabbitmqctl list_queues name memory messages messages_unacknowledged consumers
We see a stream of output given as follows which has around 10K entries.

7bc47977255e4414a975bbdfc9fbc7d3 21688 1 0 0
Now, I do not understand why memory is being consumed if messages are acknowledged already. Our expectation is once the message has been delivered and consumed, ack'd, it should not consume any memory in the system.
Are we reading this correctly ??
Is there any configuration to flush these messages?
We are using 2.3.1 version of rabbitmq on ubuntu server.
Thanks
Sunil
