I do see them taking very different amounts of RAM on different machines across my stack. It's almost as if the large queues that I have (ones in which messages sit for a while before expiring via their TTL) are getting saved in RAM instead of persistent. But if that were the case, then restarting RabbitMQ would flush them, I presume. And I can definitely restart with the messages still there, which is what made my confident they were durable and persistent.<div><br></div><div>For people familiar with the erl_crash.dump, is my example below a simple "out of memory" error that caused the crash? This is running on EC2, which has no swap space by default, maybe there's a hard crash case here?<br><div><br></div><div>-Will</div><div><br><div><div>On May 26, 2012, at 12:00 AM, Will Koffel wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">I'm seeing somewhat regular (but not in a tight loop) occurrences of these notices in my rabbit@<host>-sasl.log.<div><br></div><div>Sometimes the reason is listed as "noproc", other times as "shutdown".
