RabbitMQ msg_store_transient directory eats all available disk space

rabbitmq

I have a problem with RabbitMQ 2.8.2 server.
After one or two days usage I receive Disk Space warning from RabbitMQ and the only solution I found is to clear directory /var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia/rabbit@linux-3blg/msg_store_transient and restart RabbitMQ. I use rather huge messages in my program 1-50MB may be problem is there, but I really need stability.
Does anybody knows the solution?

This means that messages are not being acknowledged and consumed. It might help to make use of the Time-To-Live Extensions. See http://www.rabbitmq.com/ttl.html#per-queue-message-ttl and set an expiration for messages.

Deleting all pending tasks in celery / rabbitmq

From the docs:

$ celery -A proj purge

from proj.celery import app
app.control.purge()

(EDIT: Updated with current method.)

Delete all the queues from RabbitMQ

First, list your queues:

rabbitmqadmin list queues name

Then from the list, you'll need to manually delete them one by one:

rabbitmqadmin delete queue name='queuename'

Because of the output format, doesn't appear you can grep the response from list queues. Alternatively, if you're just looking for a way to clear everything (read: reset all settings, returning the installation to a default state), use:

rabbitmqctl stop_app
rabbitmqctl reset    # Be sure you really want to do this!
rabbitmqctl start_app
