Connection to broker lost?

Any idea why this happens?

I let the app run on cloud foundry for a few days and this happens

Your service has lost its connection to the RabbitMQ broker. It will keep retrying like this until it manages to reconnect. It looks like your broker is refusing new connections.

I’ve not used CloudFoundry before. How is the RabbitMQ broker configured?

We receive a ampq uri from CF. Is there a way to configure heart in nameko ? Is it using a URL like amqp://host:port?heartbeat=300 ?

Heartbeats are enabled by default on consumer connections since Nameko 2.4.4. The default value is 60 seconds and you can change it by setting the HEARTBEAT config key.

I doubt that heartbeats will help in this scenario though – your service is failing to reconnect to the broker. A (shorter) heartbeat will probably just mean that it notices the disconnection sooner. Keeping the connection alive with a heartbeat may help if Cloud Foundry is removing the broker because it thinks its idle or something.
