[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ / Erlang not running on all cores?

Tue Oct 22 23:44:36 BST 2013

Hi Matthias,

The load on our box (it's in production) has dropped a little bit, but core
0 is still running nearly flat out.

Here's the output you asked for:

22:39 PROD user at host:rabbitmqctl.py eval 'erlang:statistics(run_queue).'
0
...done.

Which per your comment, doesn't look like a promising lead.

Are there other useful "eval" commands that I could use to ferret out
what's happening? This is a box in production and we have an upcoming
release that's only going to add more load on this box.

Also, we are running this in a cluster with another box, with all queues in
HA mode. I imagine that would have some overall CPU impact, but don't see
why it would concentrate everything on one core. The slave node CPU
utilization is much lower, but also shows most activity on one CPU.

Thanks,

Matt
