[rabbitmq-discuss] queue discovery

Hi, Steven...

Usually this is a mishap at the publication end, but a good way to get
insight during debugging is to use the firehose tracer feature of Rabbit.
See here for details:

http://www.rabbitmq.com/firehose.html

Using firehose you'll be able to see every message published and every
message delivered at a "close to the wire" level of detail that will enable
you to catch things like messages that weren't published to where you thought
they were going, messages that weren't properly ACKed at the consumer side,
etc.

Give it a try as it may yield insight.  Also, double check your bindings,
and the details of how you're publishing somewhat meticulously...

Best regards,
Jerry

decided to assert that the queue exists for now. Got a weird publish issue. I am publishing to a queue that exists and the message isn't turning up. 

I confirmed this by looking at "rabbitmqctl.bat list_queues" and also, via the management plugin. 

Have you seen this before? What's a good way to troubleshoot? 

thanks,

Hi, Steven 

Asserting the queue existence probably may not be heavyweight enough for you 
to worry about. That said, you could consider setting the 'mandatory' flag 
when you publish, in which case you'll get an asynchronous notification if the 
message cannot be routed to any queue (e.g. if no queues are bound to the 
exchange you published too, or your routing key didn't match one that was, etc.) 

Best regards, 
Jerry

Hi, 

chicken and egg situation here. 

Sender expects that receiver will have created a queue, only, the sender is in this case the first to exist, and so sends a message to a non-existant queue. 

Result: rabbit throws away the message. Is the only way forward to always assert queue existance, or is there a lighter weight alternative? i.e. it'd be nice to get a status or exception back stating if the message got routed or not. 

Same situation could occur if queue is defined with non durable and autodelete. i.e. rabbit goes down and then comes back up. 

thanks, 
-Steven
