Is anyone else seeing this? We are running Rocky. As our production cluster grows in size we are starting to have trouble with neutron-metadata-agent. After restarting it is happy for a minute and then it complains "2019-12-06 17:54:24.615 664587 WARNING oslo_messaging._drivers.amqpdriver [-] Number of call queues is 11, greater than warning threshold: 10. There could be a leak. Increasing threshold to: 20" It increases the threshold a couple of times and then after increasing to 40 we start to see errors: 2019-12-06 17:55:10.119 664578 INFO eventlet.wsgi.server [-] Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/eventlet/wsgi.py", line 521, in handle_one_response write(b''.join(towrite)) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/eventlet/wsgi.py", line 462, in write wfile.flush() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 307, in flush self._sock.sendall(view[write_offset:write_offset+buffer_size]) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/eventlet/greenio/base.py", line 390, in sendall tail = self.send(data, flags) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/eventlet/greenio/base.py", line 384, in send return self._send_loop(self.fd.send, data, flags) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/eventlet/greenio/base.py", line 371, in _send_loop return send_method(data, *args) error: [Errno 32] Broken pipe It looks like increasing the threshold to 40 fails because it keeps trying: 2019-12-06 17:55:17.452 664597 WARNING oslo_messaging._drivers.amqpdriver [-] Number of call queues is 21, greater than warning threshold: 20.
