We need to ACK the rabbitmq message for the server to erase it in the queue - otherwise they are piling up endlessly. As we quit the services every hour the queue is reset at that point, but that still makes monitoring the server quite hard as the queues tend to be full all the time
How to validate the yaml
For some reason, valid yaml is not supported - the indentation required is rather wild. But to check the syntax before commit, you can use the plugin locally
wget https://github.com/tomzo/gocd-yaml-config-plugin/releases/download/0.9.0/yaml-config-plugin-0.9.0.jar #> java -jar yaml-config-plugin-0.9.0.jar syntax sp1-stagings.gocd.yaml {"valid":true}
