monitoring JMS

[Tim Dudgeon <td...@gmail.com>]

Camel provides a nice way to submit and consume from JMS queues.
I also need to be able to monitor those queues. Does The JMS Component 
provide and nice hooks for inspecting those queues, or do I need to fall 
back to raw JMS or JMX?

Example: I have a service that uses a Camel route to submit to a JMS 
queue, but I also want the service to be able to tell me the number of 
pending messages for the queue.

Thanks
Tim

Hi Carsten

Yes, that's what I kinda figured.
I did find BrowsableEndpoint, as described here which actually give me 
most of what I need.

Beyond that it looks like I need JMX.

Hi Tim, 

sounds like the setup that we are doing as well. I am not aware of any feature in the JMS component of Camel and we're using the JMX features of our message broker to get the information. 

We also deployed Jolokia to all our servers so getting JMX information can be done via HTTP requests. That way we don't have to leave our preferred communication and it is also fairly easy to get the information into a Camel route too. 

Hope this helps, 

Carsten
