Total consumers dipping to zero, but all consumers still running.

[tchaffee]

In New Relic on the Queues tab and in the Total Consumers section we see the value drop to zero on a pretty frequent basis (every 5 to 15 minutes). But monitoring the consumer jobs on our system I see the consumers running for the entire time. It seems like the plugin is occasionally getting wrong information about the number of consumers running for each queue?
