[rabbitmq-discuss] A question on federation status reporting

[Simon MacMullen]

Hi Matt.

Your policy applies to exchanges and queues with "skytap" in the name - 
that includes the internal queues. Since the policy includes "ha-mode" 
I'm assuming you want it to apply to both exchanges and queues - so you 
could (1) change the regex to "^skytap" (i.e. names have to start with 
skytap, not just contain it or (2) create a second policy to apply 
"ha-mode" to queues and set the current policy to apply to exchanges only.

Note that as of 3.2.x policies can be set to apply to exchanges or 
queues or both: http://www.rabbitmq.com/parameters.html#policies

Cheers, Simon
