Queue Browser

The queue browser is the main view of HZN Queue Console. It lists all queues in the connected broker with live stats, and lets you drill into any queue to inspect its messages.

Queue List

The left panel shows every queue in the selected virtual host (RabbitMQ) or broker (ActiveMQ). For each queue you can see:

Message count — total messages waiting
Consumer count — number of active consumers
Queue name and virtual host

The list updates automatically based on your auto-sync setting.

Filtering the Queue List

Use the search bar at the top of the queue list to filter by name in real time. Partial matches work — typing order will match order.created, order.failed, dlq.order, etc.

On RabbitMQ you can also filter by virtual host using the vhost dropdown.

Queue Detail

Click any queue to open the message browser on the right. It shows:

The first N messages in the queue (configurable, default 100)
Each message’s payload, headers, and properties in a table row
An expandable detail panel when you click a message

Showing System Queues

Internal broker queues (prefixed with amq. on RabbitMQ, or internal ActiveMQ queues) are hidden by default. Toggle Show system queues in settings to make them visible.

Refreshing

The queue list refreshes on the configured interval (default: every 1 second). You can also click the refresh icon to force an immediate reload. To pause auto-refresh, toggle Auto-sync off in the settings panel.
