Benefits for Developers

Are your messages going where they should?

With QueueExplorer you can dig into your queues and see which message went where, whether they were correctly formatted, with correct headers and settings, etc.

Multiple viewers are at your disposal: JSON, XML, WCF, Hex, text with different encodings...

Develop and test producers and consumers separately

With QueueExplorer you can test individual pieces of your solution, or even simulate third party messages going in or out. You can create and edit test messages, send one by one or bunch of them together.

Test performance and load handling of your app

Send thousands of messages for performance testing to see how system handles that load.



Benefits for Admins


Troubleshoot, fix, and resend problematic messages

If something is wrong, QueueExplorer is the fastest and easiest way to investigate and fix incorrect, poison, or failed/deadletter messages.

See status of your system at glance

Check if some of queues are growing too large, if there are messages in deadletter queues, etc. With autorefresh functionality see how entire system works in near real time.

Filter and sort messages to quickly find important data

QueueExplorer allows you to quickly find messages you're interested in. Professional edition allows you to even extract your business data from within messages using XPath, JSON, or Regex, and to immediately see e.g. invoice totals, etc.

Backup and restore messages

Backup messages to files, or move/copy them to another queue.

Copy, compare and sync definitions of queues and topics

This can be used to migrate queues and topics to another server, e.g. to propagate from development to production. Or just to compare and see which changes were made. Or to backup schema before changes are made. You can also duplicate queues with all their settings on the same server (Professional).



Compared to ActiveMQ web console


  • Live Topic view - watch messages as they arrive.
  • All message and header properties are available in a message list,
    and can be used for filtering and sorting.
  • Reduced clutter - collapse all queues/topics with same prefix,
    e.g. ActiveMQ.Advisory.Connection, ActiveMQ.Advisory.Consumer...
  • Copy/sync queues schema (metadata) to another server.
