I am new to using RabbitMQ (v 3.9.9). I have created an exchange and a queue and have created a binding between the 2 with a routing key. I can produce and consume messages to the queue w/o any issues. But when I log on to the web console and look at my exchange, I see a bunch of queues which seem to be auto created and having -ve numbered names.

Hi,

RabbitMQ doesn't declare queues on its own. These queue names are valid timestamps - perhaps a bug in your app that uses the timestamp as the queue name?

Best,

Hi Michal,
I checked and I don't have anything in the code to create queues, but I am using Apache Camel routes to produce to and consume from RabbitMQ.
Do you think that would cause this kind of behavior?

Thanks,
Chinmay

I don't have experience with Camel so I'm not sure but something declares these queues and it's not RabbitMQ itself. :)

A thing that came to mind: you can run "rabbitmq-diagnostics consume_event_stream" to be notified when a queue is declared.
The output will contain the user that performed the action and even if you share the user, perhaps the time when this happens will point you in the right direction.

Best,
