[rabbitmq-discuss] client connect problems

Fri Dec 3 12:03:48 GMT 2010

Hi,

I had an issue for several hours where clients from many hosts were
not able to connect to a running rabbitmq server (2.2.0). list_queues
showed only a small number of items in the queues. Eventually after
restarting rabbitmq server everything returned immediately to normal.

client stack seems to be sometimes this:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out
	at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method)
	at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(PlainSocketImpl.java:333)

	at com.rabbitmq.client.ConnectionFactory.createFrameHandler(ConnectionFactory.java:338)
	at com.rabbitmq.client.ConnectionFactory.newConnection(ConnectionFactory.java:376)

and sometimes this:

I could see nothing unusual on the server using top (memory and cpu
usage ok), or in the rabbitmq logs.

What can I do to produce you a log on the server should this situation re-occur?

Thanks,
Rob.
