    <p>I am trying to get RabbitMQ with Celery and Django going on an EC2 instance to do some pretty basic background processing. I'm running rabbitmq-server 2.5.0 on a large EC2 instance.</p> <p>I downloaded and installed the test client per the instructions <a href="http://www.rabbitmq.com/ec2.html" rel="noreferrer">here</a> (at the very bottom of the page). I have been just letting the test script go and am getting the expected output:</p> <pre><code>recving rate: 2350 msg/s, min/avg/max latency: 588078478/588352905/588588968 microseconds recving rate: 1844 msg/s, min/avg/max latency: 588589350/588845737/589195341 microseconds recving rate: 1562 msg/s, min/avg/max latency: 589182735/589571192/589959071 microseconds recving rate: 2080 msg/s, min/avg/max latency: 589959557/590284302/590679611 microseconds </code></pre> <p>The problem is that it is consuming an incredible amount of CPU:</p> <blockquote> <p>PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND<br> 668 rabbitmq 20 0 618m 506m 2340 S 166 6.8 2:31.53 beam.smp<br> 1301 ubuntu 20 0 2142m 90m 9128 S 17 1.2 0:24.75 java </p> </blockquote> <p>I was testing on a micro instance earlier and it was completely consuming all resources on the instance. </p> <p>Is this to be expected? Am I doing something wrong?</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong></p> <p>The real reason for this post was that celerybeat seemed to run okay for awhile and then suddenly consume all resources on the system. I installed the <a href="http://www.rabbitmq.com/management.html" rel="noreferrer">rabbitmq management tools</a> and have been investigating how the queues are created from celery and from the rabbitmq test suite. It seems to me that celery is orphaning these queues and they are not going away.</p> <p>Here is the queue as generated by the test suite. One queue is created and all the messages go into it and come out: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/jqzd8.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>Celerybeat creates a new queue for every time it runs the task: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/stVMr.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>It sets the auto-delete parameter to true, but I'm not entirely sure when these queues will get deleted. They seem to just slowly build up and eat resources.</p> <p>Does anyone have an idea?</p> <p>Thanks.</p>
