Queue Browser

The Queue Browser allows you to view and manage messages in your message queues across different brokers.

Broker Selection​

Select the broker you want to browse from the dropdown menu at the top of the Queue Browser panel. Depending on the messaging system this may be a single broker or a cluster of brokers. For some systems (i.e. AWS SQS) this list shows the regions as there is no "broker" concept.

Queue List and Filter​

  • The left panel displays a list of available queues for the selected broker.
  • Click on the "Queue Name" column to get to the filter box above the queue list to quickly find specific queues.

Message View​

  • Select a queue to view its messages in the main panel.
  • Use the Refresh button to update the message list.
  • To save or export messages, select the desired messages and use the Save button.

Message Deletion (Server-Side)​

  • Select one or more messages and click the Delete button to permanently remove them from the queue.
  • Important: This operation permanently deletes messages from the broker/server.
  • Deleted messages cannot be recovered.
  • Platform support required - available for: ActiveMQ, SonicMQ, Solace, RabbitMQ (with JMS plugin), AWS SQS.

Drag and Drop​

If supported by the broker, you can drag and drop messages between queues for easy message movement.

Search and Filter​

Use the search field below the message list to find specific messages based on content, headers, or properties. Next to the search field is a filter checkbox that allows you to filter the message list matching the search term. It also allows you to inverse the search result by clicking the filter checkbox again.
