[rabbitmq-discuss] Stats node getting slow

Mon Nov 11 14:24:45 GMT 2013

Hello Simon,

Thanks for the response and yeah, my gut feeling went as well toward a leak
in that rewrite because in fact this issue started showing up when we
upgraded to 3.1.x. We ended up disabling the fine-grained stats last friday
as you mentioned in your last suggestion because people were getting paged
a bit too often :) The current config is below

[
    {rabbit, [
        {vm_memory_high_watermark, 0.75},
        {cluster_nodes, [
            'rabbit at xyz1',
            'rabbit at xyz2',
            'rabbit at xyz3'
        ]},
        {collect_statistics, coarse},
        {collect_statistics_interval, 10000}
    ]},
    {rabbitmq_management_agent, [
        {force_fine_statistics, false}
    ]}
].

I will give it a few more days with this config and then maybe revert to
help you figure this issue. A related question, is there a way to
programmatically figure which one is the stats node in the cluster? I could
not find the config in the HTTP API
