Yes of course, I should've spotted that from the trace.

Well unsurprisingly, Matthias was right about Shovel. Looks like the shovel plugin is stuck - can you explain what your shovel configuration is meant to be doing? It seems shovelB_realtime and shovelB are both hung during startup - are these guys meant to be sending data or receiving it? And shovelA - is that using a direct (Erlang) connection to obtain data from rabbit at Test2 (the source) and send it to the local server (on which it is currently running) using a network based connection? I'm a bit confused about that setup - why not the other way around? - though I've not really spent much time looking at the shovel plugin tbh so it may be I'm missing something very obvious.
