Unfortunately no (not yet). Anyway, it's a clean Artemis installation of version 1.5.1, made by following the user manual instructions at https://activemq.apache.org/artemis/docs/1.5.1/using-server.html.
The installation was done by using a dedicated user and also the artemis java process runs with this dedicated user. Attached you can find my broker.xml configuration file: it's pretty much the same default created during the installation procedure, but for the acceptors (which I've customized for my MQTT purpose) and the addition of parameter "<last-value-queue>true</last-value-queue>" inside the address-setting section (but I tried with and without it and my issue persists). The only other configuration I changed is the heap size dedicated to the process, by setting "-Xms4096M -Xmx4096M" among the JAVA_ARGS in the artemis.profile file. The platform where Artemis broker is installed is: - Machine: It's an EC2 instance on AWS cloud of type m4.large: 2 vCPU, 8G RAM and SSD storage. - OS: CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core) - x86_64 - JVM: java version "1.8.0_111" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_111-b14) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.111-b14, mixed mode) - Distro package version of libaio: Arch : x86_64 Version : 0.3.109 Release : 13.el7 It seems like the problem relates the Persistence (File Journal?). Until the broker keeps the retained messages in ram it works. When it needs to recover the retained messages from the file system, clients receive them with weird chars. And I suspect the same issue appears when RAM is full and messages start to be paged... but this case is a bit more difficult to test in a systematic way.
