Queues Observability
The Queues observability tab provides visibility into your queue operations, helping you monitor message throughput, consumer performance, and message age across all your queues.
You can access Queues observability at the project level through the Observability tab:
- Navigate to your project dashboard
- Click on the Observability tab in the left sidebar
- Select Queues from the horizontal tabs at the top
The Queues tab shows all queues in your project with real-time metrics and historical trends.
When viewing the Queues tab at the project level, you can see:
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Messages/s | Number of messages sent to the queue per second |
| Queued | Total number of messages sent to the queue over the time period |
| Received | Total number of messages received by consumers |
| Deleted | Total number of messages successfully processed and deleted |
Each row in the table includes sparkline charts showing how these metrics have changed over time. You can click on any queue to view detailed metrics for that specific queue.
When you click on a specific queue, you can see detailed charts and breakdowns:
Throughput per second: Line chart showing message processing rate over time, broken down by consumer group. This helps you understand:
- Which consumer groups are actively processing messages
- Peak processing times and traffic patterns
- Whether consumers are keeping up with incoming messages
Max message age: Line chart showing the oldest unprocessed message in the queue over time, broken down by consumer group. This metric helps you identify:
- Consumer lag or backlog issues
- Whether messages are being processed in a timely manner
- Potential problems with specific consumer groups
Consumers table: A detailed table showing all consumer groups for the queue with the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Consumer Group | Name of the consumer group |
| Processed/s | Messages processed per second by this consumer group |
| Received | Total messages received with sparkline chart |
| Deleted | Total messages successfully deleted with sparkline chart |
