The above graph shows system memory usage. It is perfectly normal for a 
non-idle linux system to gradually fill up all the memory with cached 
files. And, as you say, rabbit thinks it is only using 330MB. Is the 
rabbit Erlang process considerably bigger than that?

Mark reported that he was seeing memory alarms in the logs, which only 
happens when rabbit itself thinks it has exceeded the watermark.

Matthias.
