[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ Network Partition Diagnostics

[Croy, Steve]

Tim

We installed some software on the box that needed a restart and it triggered this failure.  We are starting to think it is related to RestartManager.  We had a look at the logs on the boxes and the occurrence seems to coincide with RestartManager running.  What do you think?

Are you asking for the Rabbit logs?

Thank you,
Steve

Oh and if you can provide me with the logs then I might be able to pin down the cause a bit more specifically.

Cheers
