[rabbitmq-discuss] Ready, Unacked and Total messages of Queues

[Juno Chan]

thanks very much MK

So it's good to hear that #ready msgs high is not impacting RabbitMQ
performance.

because we encountered an issues like the total messages in rabbit was up
to 300K, while some applications have queues of extremely high #ready, but
no #unack, while some applications have queues of high #unack, but no
#ready.

thats helps me to troubleshoot which application I should look into.

Thanks.
Cheers
