How to determine the number of messages in an Azure Services Bus Queue

0 votes

Can anyone let me know if there is a way to determine the number of messages (or approximate number) in the Azure Queue (Store Account); however is there a way to query for the number of pending messages on an Azure Service Bus queue?

You will get error when you try to get the count from the dead letter queue. It looks like the deadletterqueue doesn't allow you to get a count directly, you get it from the MessageCountDetails of the normal Queue:

string connectionString = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Microsoft.ServiceBus.Connstr"].ToString();
NamespaceManager nsmgr = Microsoft.ServiceBus.NamespaceManager.CreateFromConnectionString(connectionString);
return nsmgr.GetQueue(QueueName).MessageCountDetails.DeadLetterMessageCount;

And for your second question, the required function is called MessagesCountDetails.ActiveMessageCount. It returns the number of the Active Messages in the Queue. You probably have some Dead letter messages:

var msg = Microsoft.ServiceBus.NamespaceManager.CreateFromConnectionString(Settings.Default.ConnectionString);
numofmessages.Text = msg.GetQueue(QueueName).MessageCountDetails.ActiveMessageCount.ToString();


Hope it helps!
