[jira] [Commented] (ARTEMIS-3141) limit the amount of data returned from jmx/queue control listMessages

["Gary Tully (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-3141?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17298699#comment-17298699 ] 

Gary Tully commented on ARTEMIS-3141:
-------------------------------------

From the doc, there is: 
management-browse-page-size is the number of messages a management resource can browse. This is relevant for the "browse" management method exposed on the queue control. Default is 200.

The 'page' reference in there seems strange, but maybe in the context of a browse or list it can be the size of a page in the UI, an implicit list limit. 
something like 'management-messages-fetch-limit' would cover both browse and list. Naming configuration is difficult, renaming is even harder!

>             Project: ActiveMQ Artemis
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: JMX
>    Affects Versions: 2.17.0
>            Reporter: Gary Tully
>            Priority: Major
>
> The list methods of queue control that are exposed via jmx seem to be unbounded.
>   1) they list all messages
>   2) they display the full body
> To protect both the broker and the browser/UI/client it would make sense to limit both the number of messages and the size of the data that is returned.
> Imaging 500k messages pending messages with a body of 10k... and 400k are paged to disk. It would be crazy to try and list those.
> I imagine a:
>  management-list-messages-max default 256
>  management-list-messages-body-max default 256 or some such.
> I need to do some more tests to verify the extent a broker will do to support the current api. I note that the browse functionality can be paged and with out a page defaults to 200 messages. That is sensible.
