Digging into logs, I found that entries

and I came up here[1]. I think it is a problem with RabbitMQ, which is reporting for neutron that the OVS agent is not alive although the container has a "healthy" status

When I run "openstack network agent list" the output is inconsistent. One time, it shows that some agents are not alive, and another time it shows other agents as alive/not alive. Is running a rolling restart in RabbitMQ the way? Has anyone already faced this problem?
