Hi all,

We have 9 queues and 1 queue seems to have messages that are stuck in the Ready state. What needs to be done here? There are 69,338 messages.

Currently on RMQ 3.6

Thank You & Best Regards,
Lulu Paul

Can you check if there is any client subscribing to this queue?
And, the version 3.6 is really old, please upgrade it.

Sorry I was looking at a different queue. This queue that has messages stuck in ready state has no consumers (screen shot below)

so you should have consumers to consume messages out.
or you could just purge them from the CLI tool rabbitmqctl.

Hi,

Thank you, is there a way to remove a specific message from the queue instead of purging the entire queue?
Or are there any other alternatives I can try to restart the specific queue again?

Thank You & Best Regards,
Lulu Paul

Hi ,

I am planning to use the purge button for the specific queue from the management console. 
Once the messages are deleted, will the queue start accepting messages like before or any other command needs to be run for the process to restart?

Thank You & Best Regards,
Lulu Paul

When you have enough resource on the host such as disk/memory/cpu, your queue should receive messages normally, no matter it gets purged or not.
If you have purged the queue, you don't need any additional action to delivery messages to it.
