Thanks for the quick response Bruce we must be hitting the 5.3 bug where the persisted messages are not being cleaned up because those messages don't exist in the queues.
While on the topic of the systemUsage thresholds. Can you or someone else describe what the memoryUsage limit refers to. I have read two descriptions, one here: http://activemq.apache.org/javalangoutofmemory.html that says it is used to control how much memory is used before non-persistent messages are spooled to disk. However, we are persisting all messages but yet in the web console that "Memory percent used" is non-zero. In another document which I purchased from Total Transaction Management it says that this limits the amount of memory the broker can use. However, this confuses me as well because we had it set to 20 MB which doesn't seem like it would be nearly enough and I have seen the JVM well more than a GB.
