[erlang-questions] Ho to keep-alive inactive RabbitMQ connections?

[Bohuslav Svancara]

Yes. Connection is closed if a heartbeat pulse does not arrive.
You need to open connection again.
The best way (I think)  is to let module crash and its supervisor will
restart (and reconnect) it.

I have "topRabbitSupervisor", which starts "rabbitConnection" module.
rabbitConnection module opens connection and starts amqp subscribers which
use this open connection.

If any of amqp subscribers lose a connection (heartbeat did not arrive) it
crashes, crash propagates to topRabbitSupervisor and
topRabbitSupervisor restarts rabbitConnection which restarts all
subscribers then.

It seems it works fine.
