RabbitMQ list limited (full) queues - rabbitmq

Question

is there an api/rabbitmqctl call to list full queues? That is queues that are on limit by max-length or max-lengthbytes. Sometimes certain queues reach this threshold and we would like to monitor this.
Thanks
rabbitmqctl list_queues name arguments doesn't seem to show global limits from policies

rabbitmqctl list_queues name arguments doesn't seem to show global limits from policies
No, it won't, you would have to use rabbitmqctl list_policies
You can use the HTTP API to determine if your queue is close to the max. Here is an example output for listing a queue. Note that messages and message_bytes are in the output, as well as the policy:
{
“consumer_details”: [],
“arguments”: {
“x-queue-type”: “quorum”,
“x-quorum-initial-group-size”: 1
},
“auto_delete”: false,
“consumer_capacity”: 0,
“consumer_utilisation”: 0,
“consumers”: 0,
“deliveries”: [],
“durable”: true,
“effective_policy_definition”: {
“max-length-bytes”: 10000000
},
“exclusive”: false,
“garbage_collection”: {
“fullsweep_after”: 65535,
“max_heap_size”: 0,
“min_bin_vheap_size”: 46422,
“min_heap_size”: 233,
“minor_gcs”: 11
},
“incoming”: [],
“leader”: “rabbit-1#nkarlVMD6R”,
“members”: [
“rabbit-3#nkarlVMD6R”,
“rabbit-1#nkarlVMD6R”
],
“memory”: 47929396,
“message_bytes”: 9984000,
“message_bytes_dlx”: 0,
“message_bytes_persistent”: 9984000,
“message_bytes_ram”: 0,
“message_bytes_ready”: 9984000,
“message_bytes_unacknowledged”: 0,
“messages”: 39,
This data is refreshed about every 5 seconds.
Note that you shouldn't hammer the HTTP API with frequent requests, either!
