Seamless queue monitoring with Site24x7

Gain full visibility and prevent message build-up

Monitor queue depth, message count, and bytes in queue to prevent delays and overload.
Track message age and journal size in real time to detect buildup early—especially helpful in systems like MSMQ and IBM MQ.
Ensure producers and consumers are working efficiently to avoid stuck or lost messages.
Visualize queue health and flow trends with intuitive dashboards across all supported queuing systems.

Improve application performance and reliability

Stay ahead of performance issues by monitoring throughput, average message size, and delivery times.
Reduce message loss with smart alerts and dead-letter queue tracking.
Correlate queue metrics with application logs for faster root cause analysis.
Whether it's Kafka, ActiveMQ, or MSMQ, keep tabs on critical limits like max queue size and transactional status to maintain reliability.

Handle spikes and scale confidently

Monitor message processing rates and historical trends to handle traffic bursts effectively.
Use data like queue length, replication lag, or consumer lag to forecast capacity and scale accordingly.
Keep systems resilient during high loads with monitoring for failover queues and cluster health—ideal for distributed environments like Kafka or IBM MQ.
Ensure MSMQ queues stay within limits by tracking max journal size and bytes in queue.

Simplify message queue monitoring with powerful capabilities

Real-time alerts

Get notified instantly when queue length spikes, consumers fall behind, or messages remain undelivered—so you can act before users are affected.

Unified monitoring

Bring queue metrics together with infrastructure, application, and log data into a single platform. Understand how queue behavior affects the bigger system.

Custom dashboards

Visualize metrics like message volume, consumer lag, processing latency, and queue depth tailored to your system’s architecture.

Historical trends and insights

Analyze long-term queue performance to detect anomalies, prevent recurring issues, and make informed decisions about scaling or optimization.
