You can install the Tracer in a location separate from your broker and
client application if needed. It passes frames between the client and
the broker showing the interaction at the AMQP level. Any protocol
analyser with AMQP 0.9.1 capability should work, if you prefer not to
use Java.

Avoid the need for multiple threads to use a channel in the first place.
If you can't avoid it then you must synchronise the threads around
synchronous AMQP methods, otherwise the protocol stream will become corrupt.

You should also obviously make sure that any shared data structures in
your application (such as prefetch_queue) are thread-safe.
