[rabbitmq-discuss] rabbitmq memory grows with queue size

Thu Jun 11 23:29:17 BST 2009

Perhaps I missed a config option, but I am running out of memory on
the machines running rabbitmq-server.

I have two queues and two fanout exchanges (each queue is bound to one
of the exchanges).   As the queue size grows so does memory use, even
though both queues are durable. and the messages persistent.  Does
rabbitmq require everything in memory as well even for persistent
queues?
