Getting Started

HZN Queue Console is a desktop application — or a web application in enterprise mode — for browsing queues, inspecting messages, and managing message brokers — like a database explorer, but for message queues. It supports RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ Classic, and ActiveMQ Artemis, with more brokers on the roadmap.

HZN Queue Console 1.0 is available now. Download it from the download page for:

macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel) — .zip

First Launch

On first launch the app opens with an empty server list and a prompt to add your first connection.

Connect to a Broker

Click Add Server and fill in the connection details:

Field	RabbitMQ default	ActiveMQ default
Hostname	`http://localhost`	`http://localhost`
Port	`15672`	`8161`
Username	`guest`	`admin`

Select the broker type from the dropdown, give the server a name and environment tag, then click Test Connection to verify before saving.

Your queues will appear in the left panel within seconds of connecting.
