[rabbitmq-discuss] high water mark

Fri Apr 13 20:42:56 BST 2012

I  would like to set a high water mark

Here is my rabbitmq.config file

[
{rabbit, [{cluster_nodes, ['rabbit at xxx-1', 'rabbit at xxx-2']
        % Use this to change the default tcp port
        {rabbit, [{tcp_listeners, [5672]}]},

        % To precompile parts of RabbitMQ with the High Performance
Erlang compi
        % (If Erlang VM segfaults or if HiPE support is not compiled
into your E
    {rabbit, [{hipe_compile, [true]}]},

    {rabbit, [{frame_max, [0]}]},

        % At this fraction of RAM the server introduces a flow control
mechanism
        % but lets consumers continue unaffected
        % (To be configured based on availabily of RAM)
        {rabbit, [{vm_memory_high_watermark, 0.6}]}
  ].

but after stopping and restarting the service I'm still seeing

 {vm_memory_high_watermark,0.39999999999605385},
 {vm_memory_limit,40545928806}]

can anyone advise?
