AQMP and reading queue status

Question

Python

How to read queue status in AMQP? It is necessary to understand whether there is something in it at the moment.

Answer 1

For different clients, the API is slightly different, but in fact only the names of the functions. For example, amqp has this method . The description states the following:

Returns a tuple containing 3 items:
the name of the queue (essential for automatically-named queues)
message count
consumer count

The second element of the returned tuple is the number of records.
Another more severe option is to subscribe to a queue and, if after some time (for example, 10 seconds) no messages have arrived, most likely there is simply nothing in the queue.
