Cause

Resolution

These errors are triggered by RabbitMQ monitoring always when RabbitMQ starts. RabbitMQ uses handle.exe to monitor file descriptors and displays tracking details in the RabbitMQ Management UI. However, these details are not used by the Orion Platform, and thus the handle.exe app is not relevant for the Orion Platform. Unfortunately, it is not possible to turn the monitoring off. These errors can be safely ignored.
