Check RabbitMQ queue size from client

Question

Does anyone know if there\'s a way to check the number of messages in a RabbitMQ queue from a client application?

I\'m using the .NET client library.

Answer 1

I am 2 years too late but I was searching for it myself and found that rabbitmq gives u simple script to communicate to erlang nodes..its in sbin folder where the starting script for RabbitMQ is located..so you can basically say

./rabbitmqctl list_queues

this will display the queues along with the count of messages pending to those queues similarly you can also say

./rabbitmqctl list_channels
./rabbitmqctl list_connections

etc. For more info you can visit here
