[rabbitmq-discuss] Debugging RabbitMQ memory usage

Tue Oct 1 17:12:21 BST 2013

First of all, could you be seeing the same as this:

http://rabbitmq.1065348.n5.nabble.com/memory-leak-rabbitmq-3-1-5-td29924.html 
?

The smoking gun is

   $ rabbitmqctl eval \
     'length(supervisor:which_children(rabbit_stomp_client_sup_sup)).'

returning a number much larger than the number of open STOMP connections 
on the leaky node.

Cheers, Simon
