[rabbitmq-discuss] 10 consumers on a queue delivers 10x too many messages

[Simon MacMullen]

Hmm.

Are these numbers coming from the management plugin or are they as 
reported by your applications?

If they are coming from the management plugin, are you seeing any 
redelivered messages being reported?

If they are reported by your applications, what does the management 
plugin report? (And do the applications see the "redelivered" flag set?)

(Oh, and which version of RabbitMQ are you running?)

Cheers, Simon
