No, its not the heartbeats, it looks like it is from the qmf.default.topic
and qpid.management exchanges which each have dropped 44k messages. Using
qpid-stat itself will generate quite a few messages. Also I suspect the high
number of drops may be events that are generated but have no-one interested
in receiving them.

The increasing message count in "total-enqueues" and "total-dequeues"
might be caused by qpid-stat then, I guess.

No I am wondering about the high message dropping in qmf.default.topic
and qpid.management. As far as this application is concerned, we only
send messages to amq.topic exchanges (between several qpid deamons
across hosts using routes). Except for application startup or fail
over, where we create routes in between the qpid daemons via commands
to qmf.default.direct/broker. Could that be the cause?

It bugs me that we seem to have something in our app constantly
sending messages, and I don't know what it is. ;-)

I think the drops are caused by management events. The broker will generate events and route them to the management exchanges. However if there is no-one subscribed to receive those events, then they will just be dropped.

Using qpid-stat will itself trigger the raising of events on the broker (connection opened and closed, queues created and destroyed etc). Furthermore I believe there is some periodic 'publishing' of current object stats which again may well just be dropped.

Ideally these stats related to management itself would be hidden by default of course.
