• ActiveMQ 5.7.0

In the activemq.log, I'm seeing this exception every 2 seconds:

2013-11-05 13:00:52,374 | DEBUG | Transport Connection to: tcp://127.0.0.1:37501 failed:

Due to this keyword InactivityIOException, the first thing comes to my mind is InactivityMonitor, but the strange thing is MaxInactivityDuration=30000:

2013-11-05 13:11:02,672 | DEBUG | Sending: WireFormatInfo { version=9, properties={MaxFrameSize=9223372036854775807,

Moreover, I also didn't see something like this:

No message received since last read check for ...

or:

Channel was inactive for too (>30000) long

Do a netstat, I see these connections in TIME_WAIT state:

tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:38545             127.0.0.1:61616             TIME_WAIT   -

Here're the output when running tcpdump:

It is very likely a tcp port check. This is what I see when trying telnet from another host:

So the question is: how can I find out the process that is trying to connect to my ActiveMQ (from localhost) every 2 seconds?
