I will hijack this thread since I have almost the same problem. Log files the filling up disk and TRACE telling me: "not removing data file: XXX as contained ack(s) refer to referenced file: [XXX]" Running ActiveMQ 5.13.4.
I hacked'n'slashed KahaDBJournalReader (would be great if the source code could be found somewhere else were collaboration and contribution where easier…) to work with the current ActiveMQ. And the output ended up like this: --- 2016-09-26 16:21:27,659 INFO main - -- inflight transactions--- 2016-09-26 16:21:27,669 INFO main - adds[1251093], acks[1270663] for: null 2016-09-26 16:21:27,669 INFO main - 2016-09-26 16:21:27,669 INFO main - Persistent destination statistics: 2016-09-26 16:21:27,670 INFO main - ------------------------ 2016-09-26 16:21:27,672 INFO main - QUEUE: queue1.test: -38136 msgs. 2016-09-26 16:21:27,673 INFO main - QUEUE: queue1.dev: 5883 msgs. 2016-09-26 16:21:27,673 INFO main - QUEUE: ActiveMQ.DLQ: 3 msgs. 2016-09-26 16:21:27,673 INFO main - QUEUE: aliveness-test: -33 msgs. 2016-09-26 16:21:27,674 INFO main - QUEUE: ActiveMQ.DLQ.Queue.queue1.dev: -636 msgs. 2016-09-26 16:21:27,674 INFO main - QUEUE: ActiveMQ.DLQ.Queue.queue1.test: 907 msgs. --- If comparing with the web console the only thing that seems correct is the amount of messages in ActiveMQ.DLQ.Queue.queue1.test, everything else seems wrong. What can I read from this? Are all the negative values indicating that my KahaDB is corrupt? Could enableAckCompaction found in 5.14.0 be a solution to this problem? -- jocar > On 22 Sep 2016, at 17:40, Steve Hill <sh...@futurelogix.co.uk> wrote: > > Ok, so I hooked up jconsole and looked at the queues, all of the queues were > showing zero.
