[rabbitmq-discuss] queue_procs using more memory in 1 node of a cluster

Wed Dec 11 15:03:46 GMT 2013

Hello,

     I have a 2 node rabbit mq cluster with mirroring. From the web admin
UI (in queues tab), I have noticed that all the queues say its primary is
node 1 with node 2 as mirroring.

  I noticed that node 2 uses high memory in queue_procs (not sure what
exactly it means) 2.7 GB vs 10 MB in node 1 (more info below). Could
someone explain what this means and how I could resolve this mismatch of
memory usage?

Thank you,
Shri
