Determining how many messages are on the Azure Service Bus Queue

Question

I know there is a way to determine the number of messages (or approximate number) in the Azure Queue (Store Account); however is there a way to query for the number of pendi

Answer 1

I've spent good 2 hours digging through docs to get that and for people using .net core and Microsoft.Azure.ServiceBus nuget package, code looks like that:

var managementClient = new ManagementClient("queue connection string"));
var runtimeInfo = await managementClient.GetQueueRuntimeInfoAsync("queueName");

var messagesInQueueCount = runtimeInfo.MessageCountDetails.ActiveMessageCount;

Aparently you get the information about all Counts(including deadletter, active, etc.) from QueueRuntimeInfo object instead of old QueueDescription object.
