Hanging connections in management interface (v3.0.4)

[Allan Beaufour]

I've for a long time had an issue where queues show hanging connections in the management interface. The queues show a number of perpetual unacked messages and even if I shut down all consumers, these remain. The ip+port for the consumers doesn't match any processes either. Is this a known bug?

I've had this issues for a while. We were running v2.7.1 perviously and was secretly hoping they would disappear in the upgrade :)

Thanks,

Allan

We are running  RabbitMQ 2.8.7 on Erlang R14B04 and see similar behavior.  Usually around the same time as network glitches.  We use an F5 load balancer that we believe is keeping the connection open even though the client was (sometimes forcefully) severed.  We either Force the connection closed through API, or just let it sit long enough that the connections drop, the conumsers disappear, and the messages get requeued.
