<div dir="ltr">We hit the same kinda things with the F5's. The F5's work more as a proxy and not a router so the basic TCP FastL4 connection profile does a reset on an idle connection at a default of 5 minutes. We added a new F5 FastL4 profile for 10 minute resets and upgraded to the rabbit 3 release that added heartbeat support, and a lot of our issues went away. Note you'd only see the issue if there was 0 traffic going through, e.g. no messages being published. We have a lot of servers set to shovel to a centralized location and some of our remote nodes weren't publishing regularly - turns out we saw very regular (5 minute intervals) disconnects on the log files.<div>

They hadn't had their heartbeats set correctly. We've updated the broker to push a heartbeat every four minutes from our end of the connection. Thanks for your help!<br>

In what way exactly does it fail? What do the broker logfiles say?<br>
<br>
What happens if you shut down all but one of the broker nodes?<br>

That's hard to guess without knowing the logic of the client or it's network input.<br>
<br>

<br>
It should be possible to provide better feedback if you can supply the output of connecting the client via the tracer:<br>
