[rabbitmq-discuss] Too many connections in active-active cluster

[Vadim Chekan]

Hi all,

I'm using 3 rabbit boxes in active-active configuration and sometimes I
experience "strange" behavior, ranging from abnormally high CPU usage, to
service crash.
I noticed that Connections count went to >800. Channels count is ~1600.
There were around 30 connections I expected from my app servers and
everything else looked like this:

{"name":"<'rabbit at rabbitmq-stg-1'.2.10055.0>","node":"rabbit at rabbitmq-stg-1","protocol":"Direct
0-9-1","user":"xxx","vhost":"/","client_properties":{},"type":"direct"}
{"name":"<'rabbit at rabbitmq-stg-1'.2.10072.0>","node":"rabbit at rabbitmq-stg-1","protocol":"Direct
0-9-1","user":"xxx","vhost":"/","client_properties":{},"type":"direct"}
...

Note that "rabbitmq-stg-1" node is connected to itself hundreds of times
via "Direct 0-9-1" protocol .
I'm not sure either those enormous amount of connections are the cause of
trouble, but seems suspicious.
Anybody knows where to look at?

Vadim.
