Btw you might not necessarily be having RabbitMQ issues. You might also be experiencing something like this.

Oh you are right here, i have following stuff in my neutron.conf on server

# Notifications

driver = messagingv2
topics = notifications
transport_url = rabbit://neutron:5be2a043f9a93adbd@172.28.15.192:5671<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/neutron:5be2a043f9a93adbd@172.28.15.192:5671__;!!Ci6f514n9QsL8ck!1JtoahRvJ7-o3UTgt10NXnicoDEJzvPdT32aMejFaeSUu2ObRSEFvEfDVSWmp4HJag$>,neutron:5be2a043f9a93adbd at 172.28.15.248:5671<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/neutron:5be2a043f9a93adbd@172.28.15.248:5671__;!!Ci6f514n9QsL8ck!1JtoahRvJ7-o3UTgt10NXnicoDEJzvPdT32aMejFaeSUu2ObRSEFvEfDVSXMR7XWRg$>,neutron:5be2a043f9a93adbd at 172.28.15.22:5671//neutron?ssl=1<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/neutron:5be2a043f9a93adbd@172.28.15.22:5671/*neutron?ssl=1__;Lw!!Ci6f514n9QsL8ck!1JtoahRvJ7-o3UTgt10NXnicoDEJzvPdT32aMejFaeSUu2ObRSEFvEfDVSUgm8NHPA$>

# Messaging
[oslo_messaging_rabbit]
rpc_conn_pool_size = 30
ssl = True


Following change i am going to made let me know if anything missing.

[DEFAULT]
executor_thread_pool_size = 2048   <--- is this correct? i didn't see anywhere "rpc_thread_pool_size"
rpc_response_timeout = 3600


[oslo_messaging_notifications]
topics = notifications
driver = noop

# Messaging
[oslo_messaging_rabbit]
rpc_conn_pool_size = 300
heartbeat_timeout_threshold = 0
ssl = True


Should i be adding this to all my compute nodes also ?

If you tune rabbit then for:

heartbeat_timeout_threshold = 0

That should help with the error message you are getting.

That is a lot of messages queued. We had the same because we were not using ceilometer but had the "notifications" still turned on for it for services.

Are all of the ready messages for "notifications.info<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/notifications.info__;!!Ci6f514n9QsL8ck!1JtoahRvJ7-o3UTgt10NXnicoDEJzvPdT32aMejFaeSUu2ObRSEFvEfDVSXCYHosug$>" for the various services ( Nova, Neutron, Keystone etc )

If that is the case you can disable those messages in your config files for those services. Look for:

# Notifications
[oslo_messaging_notifications]
notification_topics = notifications
driver = noop

Make sure the driver option is set to "noop" by default it will be set too "messagingv2" and then restart the service and that should stop sending messages to the queue. You can then purge the "notifications.info<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/notifications.info__;!!Ci6f514n9QsL8ck!1JtoahRvJ7-o3UTgt10NXnicoDEJzvPdT32aMejFaeSUu2ObRSEFvEfDVSXCYHosug$>" queue for Nova or Neutron etc..

We only had the "message ready" when we had the setting for ceilometer set but was not using it. Also only purge a queue if it is for that reason. Do not purge the queue if it is for any other reason than that as it can cause issues.

Hope that helps.

Grant,

But i am seeing lots of following logs on my compute nodes running stein release.

2020-03-20 10:34:46.132 53425 WARNING oslo.messaging._drivers.impl_rabbit [-] Unexpected error during heartbeart thread processing, retrying...: ConnectionForced: Too many heartbeats missed.

Find attached screenshot of one of rabbitMQ node, i have lots of messages in "Ready: 15339"  is this looks normal to you?

Hi,

There was a bug in Queens that meant there was an issue with the heartbeat timeouts. Setting it to 0 gets around that bug. I believe that was fixed in Rocky and above, so your Stein installation should be fine.

Setting the value to 0 For us meant we stopped getting errors in the logs for:

"Too many heartbeats missed, trying to force connect to RabbitMQ"

Great, thanks!  Did you guys tune your nova component for rabbitMQ?

We left ours on the default value of 1 and that still seems to be fine.

Correct, you need to add:

To your Neutron nodes

And you can add:

>> executor_thread_pool_size = 64
>> rpc_response_timeout = 3600

To your compute nodes (neutron.conf) However I found just adding the changes to the neturon servers really helped.

I would recommend just starting with your neutron nodes first to see if that helps. If you find your compute nodes are still having issues then change the settings on those after.

330 compute nodes (agent neutron.conf) going to add following:
>> executor_thread_pool_size = 64
>> rpc_response_timeout = 3600



How about nova? should i be doing that on nova as well to reduce load on rabbitMQ?

Hi Satish,

You will need to add those to the "neutron.conf" file on your network nodes. If you are running OS-A I would do it on your "neutron-server" nodes and add the following to your agents containers:

executor_thread_pool_size = 64
rpc_response_timeout = 3600

Erik,



If i want to adopt following setting then where i should add them in

Queens openstack, neutron-server or all my compute nodes?  which

setting will go where?



heartbeat_timeout_threshold = 0

rpc_conn_pool_size = 300

rpc_thread_pool_size = 2048

rpc_response_timeout = 3600

rpc_poll_timeout = 60



## Rpc all

executor_thread_pool_size = 64

rpc_response_timeout = 3600

We are hitting something awfully similar.



We have basically been hitting a few pretty serious bugs with RabbitMQ.



The main one is when a RabbitMQ server crashes, or gets split brain it does not always recover, or even when just one node is restarted. We sometimes end up with orphaned consumers that keep consuming messages, but goes to /dev/null pretty much. Another issue is that sometimes bindings stop working. They are visually there, but simply does not route traffic to the intended queues.



e.g. https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/issues/641<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/issues/641__;!!Ci6f514n9QsL8ck!1JtoahRvJ7-o3UTgt10NXnicoDEJzvPdT32aMejFaeSUu2ObRSEFvEfDVSVXVk98dA$>



I wrote two quick scripts to audit these issues.

http://paste.openstack.org/show/790569/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/paste.openstack.org/show/790569/__;!!Ci6f514n9QsL8ck!1JtoahRvJ7-o3UTgt10NXnicoDEJzvPdT32aMejFaeSUu2ObRSEFvEfDVSXoXcbVVw$> - Check if you have orphaned consumers (may need pagination if you have a large deployment).

http://paste.openstack.org/show/790570/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/paste.openstack.org/show/790570/__;!!Ci6f514n9QsL8ck!1JtoahRvJ7-o3UTgt10NXnicoDEJzvPdT32aMejFaeSUu2ObRSEFvEfDVSVlMPvQPw$> - Check if the bindings are bad for a specific queue.



The main issue seems to be the number of queues + connections causing the recovery after restarting a node to cause bindings and/or queues to get into an "orphaned" state.

I am also dealing with some short of rabbitmq performance issue but its not as worst you your issue.



This is my favorite video, not sure you have seen this before or not but anyway posting here - https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpmgxrPOrZw__;!!Ci6f514n9QsL8ck!1rOR_L7ya6zmMgZ0owpfO7NvhsPOzbgyUplonob2awcg8hd80yCAT_ynvarUEZv4Mw$<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpmgxrPOrZw__;!!Ci6f514n9QsL8ck!1rOR_L7ya6zmMgZ0owpfO7NvhsPOzbgyUplonob2awcg8hd80yCAT_ynvarUEZv4Mw$>

Hi all,



We are currently experiencing some fairly major issues with our

OpenStack cluster. It all appears to be with Neutron and RabbitMQ.  We

are seeing a lot of time out messages in responses to replies and

because of this instance creation or anything to do with instances and

networking is broken.



We are running OpenStack Queens.



We have already tuned Rabbit for Neutron by doing the following on neutron:



heartbeat_timeout_threshold = 0

rpc_conn_pool_size = 300

rpc_thread_pool_size = 2048

rpc_response_timeout = 3600

rpc_poll_timeout = 60



## Rpc all

executor_thread_pool_size = 64

rpc_response_timeout = 3600



What we are seeing in the error logs for neutron for all services

(l3-agent, dhcp, linux-bridge etc ) are these timeouts:



https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://pastebin.com/Fjh23A5a__;!!Ci6f514n<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/pastebin.com/Fjh23A5a__;!!Ci6f514n>

9QsL8ck!1rOR_L7ya6zmMgZ0owpfO7NvhsPOzbgyUplonob2awcg8hd80yCAT_ynvapLQK

9aOA$



We have manually tried to get everything in sync by forcing fail-over

of the networking which seems to get routers in sync.



We are also seeing that there are a lot of "unacknowledged" messages

in RabbitMQ for 'q-plugin' in the neutron queues.



Some times restarting of the services on neutron gets these back

acknowledged again, however the timeouts come back.



The RabbitMQ servers themselves are not loaded at all. All memory,

file descriptors and errlang processes have plenty of resources available.



We are also seeing a lot of rpc issues:



Timeout in RPC method release_dhcp_port. Waiting for 1523 seconds

before next attempt. If the server is not down, consider increasing

the rpc_response_timeout option as Neutron server(s) may be overloaded

and unable to respond quickly enough.: MessagingTimeout: Timed out

waiting for a reply to message ID 965fa44ab4f6462fa378a1cf7259aad4

2020-03-10 19:02:33.548 16242 ERROR neutron.common.rpc

[req-a858afbb-5083-4e21-a309-6ee53582c4d9 - - - - -] Timeout in RPC

method release_dhcp_port. Waiting for 3347 seconds before next attempt.

If the server is not down, consider increasing the

rpc_response_timeout option as Neutron server(s) may be overloaded and

unable to respond quickly enough.: MessagingTimeout: Timed out waiting

for a reply to message ID 7937465f15634fbfa443fe1758a12a9c



Does anyone know if there is anymore tuning to be done at all?

Upgrading for us at the moment to a newer version isn't really an

option unfortunately.



Because of our setup, we also have roughly 800 routers enabled and I

know that will be putting a load on the system. However these problems

have only started to happen roughly 1 week ago and have steadily got worse.



If anyone has any use cases for this or any more recommendations that

would be great.



Many thanks,
