In our monitoring, RabbitMQ queues like aliveness-test may show up as unresponsive, with a ping timeout after 10 seconds. The logfile will generally read like this:
operation queue.delete caused a channel exception not_found: failed to perform operation on queue 'example' in vhost '/' due to timeout
For the aliveness-test queue, you can can use this command to delete it:
rabbitmqctl eval 'rabbit_amqqueue:internal_delete({resource,<<"/">>,queue,<<"aliveness-test">>}).'
This queue is only used for monitoring if RabbitMQ is alive and processing things. It does not contain customer data and will automatically be re-created after deletion.
