[rabbitmq-discuss] Unexaplainable behaviour with shovel plugin.

[Laing, Michael]

Our volumes are quite variable on the shovels, representing a high overall
degree of variability in our message volumes.

Just looking over the last 24 hours, shovel volume ranged from 25/sec to
2,500/sec on our Oregon core cluster.

Best,

Michael
