Question

Is it possible to view RabbitMQ message contents directly from the command line?

sudo rabbitmqctl list_queues lists the queues.

Is there any comma

Answer 1

I wrote rabbitmq-dump-queue which allows dumping messages from a RabbitMQ queue to local files and requeuing the messages in their original order.

Example usage (to dump the first 50 messages of queue incoming_1):

rabbitmq-dump-queue -url="amqp://user:password@rabbitmq.example.com:5672/" -queue=incoming_1 -max-messages=50 -output-dir=/tmp
