Public bug reported:

We had an incident where rabbitmq-server would stop accepting
connections, with the following message in the log:

=WARNING REPORT==== 24-Nov-2020::09:46:02 ===
file descriptor limit alarm set.

********************************************************************
*** New connections will not be accepted until this alarm clears ***
********************************************************************


However, when checking the fd limits these are set quite high:

root@juju-efcc41-12-lxd-0:~# cat /etc/default/rabbitmq-server
# Generated by juju
# bump ulimit so rabbit can support lots of connections
ulimit -n 65536

root@juju-efcc41-12-lxd-0:~# grep Limit 
/lib/systemd/system/rabbitmq-server.service
LimitNOFILE=65536

On the other hand, checking fd usage via lsof, `lsof -u rabbitmq` would
only report abt. 900 open fds

After bouncing rabbitmq it resumed accepting connects

Versions:

rabbitmq-server                  3.5.7-1ubuntu0.16.04.2
