I wrote a simple plugin for Munin (available at Munin-Exchange:
http://exchange.munin-monitoring.org/plugins/rabbitmq_list_queues/details),
which lists all available queues and draws a graph of the number of
messages in these queues. When a queue gets longer than, say, 100k
messages, I fling a pencil into the author of the corresponding
consumers.
