[rabbitmq-discuss] Testing Shovel on a WAN

Thank you Simon.

Where could I get the redelivered messages rate ?
I can't see it in the mngt interface. 
I only have : 
Messages /
	Ready
	Unack
	Total
Messages rate / 
	Incoming
	Deliver / get
	Ack
I also tried with the command : python rabbitmqadmin.py -H <myhost> -f raw_json list queues, and there no redelivered field in the displayed values.

As the network is cut, the remote end cannot consume messages.
They all stay in the Shovel queue, or somewhere else at the local end. 
Shouldn't they have the Ready Status ?

What do you mean by "go back into the queue" ?
Does-it mean that unacknowledged messages, are no longer in the Shovel Queue ?
Shovel code, reads messages from its queue, and keep them in memory until an ack is received ?
If Yes, what if the broker crashes ? Are we going to lose all unack messages in that case (if we do not use HA queues)?
