Check RabbitMQ queue size from client

Question

Does anyone know if there\'s a way to check the number of messages in a RabbitMQ queue from a client application?

I\'m using the .NET client library.

Answer 1

I'm using version 3.3.1 of the .NET client library.

I use the following, which is very similar to Ralph Willgoss's second suggestion, but you can supply the queue name as an argument.

QueueDeclareOk result = channel.QueueDeclarePassive(queueName);
uint count = result != null ? result.MessageCount : 0;
