[rabbitmq-discuss] High Cpu Usage

[Chris Penev]

On December 21, 2012, I noticed my rabbitmq server using up 100% cpu even
though I had nothing connected to it. I checked my uptime (70 days) and
noted when rabbitmq was started (Oct 25).

Two days ago I once again, accidentally decided to check what processes are
running and how much cpu they are taking, noticing rabbitmq once again at a
steady 45% cpu.

Following this I wrote a simple shell script to monitor the resource usage
of rabbitmq. It became clear in the first eight hours and rabbitmq was
"leaking" resources, consuming more and more cpu, even though _no_ services
were connected to it. I kept the script running (cron job taking eight top
samples every 30 minutes) and graphed the cpu usage using gnuplot
(following the first eight hours, I then did start connecting and
disconnecting rabbitmq-clients).

I have attached below the graph I plotted, as well as the top samples that
were taken. The version of rabbitmq I am using is 2.7.1

$ echo $(< /etc/issue); uname -a; erl -version
