I setup an scenario as following: Web Application (deployed on VM) connects to ActiveMQ (version: 5.15.10 deployed on k8s container). The kubernetes cluster contains 2 worker nodes. I found on connection dashboard of ActiveMQ that the connection changed after some minutes.

The application throws following logs:

From the ActiveMQ side, I find the logs:

2020-04-07 15:06:09,575 | WARN  | Transport Connection to: tcp://10.171.159.210:41910 failed: org.apache.activemq.transport.InactivityIOException: Channel was inactive for too (>30000) long: tcp://10.171.159.210:41910 | org.apache.activemq.broker.TransportConnection.Transport | ActiveMQ InactivityMonitor Worker

The web application has following tcp connection in openwire format to ActiveMQ:

tcp://10.171.159.210:61616?connectionTimeout=0&keepAlive=true&useInactivityMonitor=false&wireFormat.maxInactivityDuration=0

Could any one has solution to keep the connection is reused? Because, when the socket connection is broken, it could cause the message is re-delivered.
