Troubleshoot RabbitMQ Cluster Failure

Problem

The RabbitMQ cluster fails as a result of a power outage.

Solution

If the RabbitMQ cluster fails as a result of a power outage, the RabbitMQ message bus may not restart properly. To identify the status of the RabbitMQ message bus, run the kubectl get po -n northstar -l app=rabbitmq command. This command should show three pods with their status as Running. For example:

If the status of one or more pods is Error, use the following recovery procedure:

1. Delete RabbitMQ.

   kubectl delete po -n northstar -l app=rabbitmq

2. Check the status of the pods.

   kubectl get po -n northstar -l app=rabbitmq.

   Repeat kubectl delete po -n northstar -l app=rabbitmq until the status of all pods is Running.

3. Restart the Paragon Pathfinder application.
