# LWS outage 2020-01-20
## Facts
* Workers offline (reporting crashed, even after redeploy)
* bumping RAM helped, although they don't use all the RAM
* AMQP large amount of unprocessed messages
* Little visibility
* Poor UI in admin tool makes some information unclear
* Unusued queues
> You have 147 queues without any consumers.
* Some queues have a very large backlog
> We recommend less than 10 000 messages in all queues. You have 5 queues with more than 10 000 messages.
## Suggestions
* Delete empty queues without subscribers
* When is the queue created?
* We believe when the event is queued it should create
* Purge queues without subscribers
* Question, can we save the data
* Delete several queues
* BambooHR update supplier only contains supplier_id we have this data and iut's for one customer account
* Intercom is a deleted integration
* We no longer process events for created tasks for the one customer using BambooHR, it's accepted tasks
## Outcomes
* purged intercom queues
* removed SupplierClaimed event-handling from LWS (42k messages unprocessed)
* removed IntercomException base exception class
* unknown what is causing
`evt-services-supplier_updated--bamboohr_provisioner.handle_supplier_updated` 500,000 messages got queued ([the code for that was removed in this commit](https://github.com/kalohq/lws/commit/7cc82a27d6b1f4c440cb88ad6605656dd5c0cbb8) on Jan 4, 2019)
