Messaging

perspective-messaging (id messaging) is the devops and debug surface for the embedded ActiveMQ broker. Inspect destinations, browse pending messages without consuming them, purge queues, remove destinations.

Layout

  • Destinations (left) - filterable list of every queue and topic with live counters (enqueued, dequeued, inflight, pending).
  • Message browser (center) - master / detail of the messages currently pending on the selected queue. Body preview is decoded from TextMessage directly; BytesMessage payloads are inspected up to 64 KB and rendered as UTF-8 when textual, otherwise base64.

Actions

ActionEffect
Purge queueRemoves every pending message from the queue. Non-destructive to the destination.
Remove single messageRemoves one message by its JMS message id.
Remove destinationDeletes the queue / topic itself. Returns 409 if consumers are still attached.

Endpoints

All endpoints live under /services/ide/messaging-monitoring/ and require one of ADMINISTRATOR, DEVELOPER, OPERATOR:

MethodPathPurpose
GET/summaryBroker meta + every destination + counters.
GET/queues/{name}/messages?limit=NNon-destructive browse (cap 200).
DELETE/queues/{name}/messagesPurge the queue.
DELETE/queues/{name}/messages/{messageId}Remove a single message.
DELETE/queues/{name}Remove the destination.
DELETE/topics/{name}Remove the destination.

Topics

JMS topics do not retain non-persistent messages. The destinations view still shows live counters for topics, but the message browser shows an empty list - there is nothing pending to inspect. Use a durable subscriber to retain messages.
