Supported Brokers

HZN Queue Console connects to message brokers via their HTTP management APIs.

  • The connecting user must have the management or administrator tag.

Cloud-Managed Brokers

Cloud-managed services (Amazon MQ, CloudAMQP, etc.) expose the same management APIs as self-hosted versions. HZN Queue Console works with these services provided:

  • The management API port is accessible from your machine (check firewall and security group rules).
  • You use the credentials provided by the service.
  • HTTPS is typically required — use https:// as the scheme in the hostname field.
