All: I have configured a pure (shared nothing) master/slave setup (both are running ActiveMQ 5.3.1).
One of the documentation points for this configuration is: A slave of a master broker consumes all message states from the master - messages, acknowledgments and transactional states. However, when I view the admin console of the slave (http://slaveip:8161/admin/queues.jsp) for many queues I see the "Number Of Pending Messages" is all over the map. That is, sometimes it equals the "Messages Enqueued" count; sometimes it is zero; and sometimes it is about halfway in between. By the way, if I click on a queue name on this page it "spins" but never comes back. Mostly, I want assurance that the slave is not continuing to store messages that were consumed/acknowledged from the master. (In other words, should the master fail, then clients aren't going to get a bunch of duplicate messages...) TIA, Mike (aka patzerbud)
