[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ filling up?

[Martí Planellas Rosell]

I had some problems recently with RabbitMQ freezing now and again 
apparently randomly, and I'm not sure what could be wrong.

When I do a rabbitmqctl report I get a lot of these:

Channels:
pid name connection number user vhost transactional confirm consumer_count 
messages_unacknowledged messages_unconfirmed messages_uncommitted 
acks_uncommitted prefetch_count client_flow_blocked

<'rabbit at edfdr-qb-wb01'.3.9507.0> 9 guest / false false 0 0 0 0 0 0 false
...
up to 1895

And a lot of:

node-amqp-21172-0.23239665268920362 false
...
About 40

In theory I only have one producer (PHP process) and one consumer (NodeJS 
server)

Anyone have some idea of what's going on with that?

The beam.smp process would eventually hit more than 50% CPU and memory and 
would stop delivering messages.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
