That sounds like the likely culprit.� I'll test that and let you know.� What I was hoping to accomplish, was to have the message queue, keep a copy of a message for an hour so that when a new consumer connected, he receives the last hour of messages.� I might have to add this logic to the applications somehow.<br>

</div></div>I suspect your consumer is not acknowledging messages. Messages are not<br>
forgotten until the client confirms that they have received the message<br>
by using basic.ack. This is required whether the client is doing<br>
basic.get or using basic.consume.<br>
<br>
Alternatively, in both basic.get and basic.consume, the noAck flag can<br>
be set, indicating to Rabbit that it should not expect acks from the<br>
client, and thus should forget about messages as soon as they've been<br>
sent to a client.<br>
<br>
I hope that's of use. If my guess is wrong, do please let us know!<br>
