node.js - nodejs + amqp silently dies -

i have basic script take amqp messages , forward them socket.io works hours, days, silently stops forwarding amqp messages while continuing emit heartbeats.

logs show when gets broken state, isn't trying emit socket.io messages amqp messages arrive, think problem amqp connection/subscription rather socket.io

i tested manually shutting down , restarting rabbitmq server while script running, , appeared have no issues reconnecting , continuing function should.

var port = 8888,         http = require("http"),         amqp = require("amqp"),         socketio = require("socket.io"),         express = require("express"),         rabbitmq = amqp.createconnection({ host: 'server', reconnect: true }),         app = express(),         server = http.createserver(app),         io = socketio.listen(server);  rabbitmq.on("ready", function () {          console.log("ready");          var queue = rabbitmq.queue("ft-secondary-display", function () {                  queue.bind(rabbitmq.exchange('ft', {type: 'topic'}), "data");                  console.log("bound");                 queue.subscribe(function (message, headers, basicinfo) {                         var data = {'key': basicinfo, 'data': message.data.tostring()};                         io.sockets.emit("message-name", data);                 });         }); });  setinterval(hb, 10000);  function hb(){    io.sockets.emit("message-name", "heartbeat"); }
