ActiveMQ - What is the TTL value of an Advisory Message? - activemq

I need to know What is the TTL value of an advisory message ? I have around 17 thousand messages enqueued in my Advisory topics and it shows 0 dequeues messages. I want to get rid of these messages. What is the possible way to do that.
<deadLetterStrategy>
<.... expiration="300000"/>
</deadLetterStrategy>
If there are no subscribers to these advisory topics, then do these messages stay in activemq store or memory ?
I want these messages out of activrmq

EnqueueCount means how many messages were sent to the Advisory Topic. Advisory messages are not stored by the broker.
UPATED: That is ok, DequeueCount of zero (0) on a topic means that there were no subscribers when the message was published.

Rabbit MQ - can a message be persisted until all subscribed consumers received it?

I'm having a little trouble figuring if Rabbit MQ can publish a message to a single queue with multiple subscribers, where the message will not get deleted until all subscribers to that queue have gotten the message.
The closest I can find is https://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/amqp-concepts.html, where it states:
AMQP 0-9-1 has a built-in feature called message acknowledgements (sometimes referred to as acks) that consumers use to confirm message delivery and/or processing. If an application crashes (the AMQP broker notices this when the connection is closed), if an acknowledgement for a message was expected but not received by the AMQP broker, the message is re-queued (and possibly immediately delivered to another consumer, if any exists).
Does this mean if the queue has more than one subscriber, it will wait until the message is consumed by all subscribers?
You should use multiple queues bound to the same exchange, using the same binding. Then, when a message matches the binding, it will be delivered to all queues, which presumably each have a consumer.
If you have multiple consumers on a single queue, RabbitMQ will round-robin deliveries among those consumers (which is not what you want).
NOTE: the RabbitMQ team monitors the rabbitmq-users mailing list and only sometimes answers questions on StackOverflow.

How can I subscribe to a message being sent to the _skipped queue in rabbit mq

Question one: Can I subscribe to the event of a message being sent to the _skipped queue?
I am using masstransit together with rabbit mq. Some messages sometimes are sent to the _skipped queue for unclear reasons. The message type has a consumer, the ttl (time to life) is not small. It should not happen, and I am getting a log entry from masstransit, but I want to do more at the moment. Maybe log an error, in test maybe pop-up a window. Is there a way to achieve this? I am only getting these log messages below.
MassTransit.ReceiveTransport|SKIP rabbitmq://localhost/services_admin db270000-1fd6-00ff-3b83-08d9000ef97c
MassTransit.ReceiveTransport|Declare queue: name: services_admin_skipped, durable, consumer-count: 0 message-count: 3
Question two: What exactly happens to messages in the _skipped queue? Can they be resent?
Skipped messages either don't match the type (namespace included), don't have a consumer on the endpoint, or were a response to a request client that is no longer waiting for it. Since it's a receive endpoint queue, it's likely one of the first two reasons. Look at the message body/details in the RabbitMQ Management Console, that should give you some ideas.
You can use a shovel in RabbitMQ to move the messages back into the queue once you've resolved the issue.

ActiveMQ single dequeuing for topic

I have many subscribers listening to a topic, but only one subscriber get the message (dequeing) to process a task.
Can I go for a topic and non-durable subscribers?
Is the below statement correct:
A topic will normally deliver the message to the first consumer
dequeuing, but if durable subscribers have subscribed to the topic,
messages will be delivered to each one of them.
Or queue is a better solution? For me I think publish-subscriber is more simple solution.
A message sent to a topic should be delivered to every subscriber whether they are durable or not. Of course, this assumes the subscribers are using a blank selector or a selector that matches the message that was sent.

ActiveMQ - How do I ignore undelivered messages

I have a queue producer(NON_PERSISTENT) and a queue consumer connected to my ActiveMQ server. If a producer sends a message to a queue while the consumer is not connected to ActiveMQ, it seems it is stored and delivered when the consumer is up and connected to ActiveMQ.
I want ActiveMQ to ignore the message if the consumer is not connected at the time of delivery. How can I achieve this?
Thanks in advance.
Use a topic instead of a queue - this is the default behaviour for topics (unless a durable subscriber is used).
Otherwise, for queues, you can set a message expiry when sending the message. It will be discarded if not read within that time frame. Make sure to set enough time frame so that clock sync issues between servers won't be a factor. Let's say 2 minutes or so.

configure the broker

I am using ActiveMQ as message Broker with something like 140 Topics.
I am facing a problem that the broker keeps old messages, instead of discarding them in order to send new messages (so clients gets old data instead of current data).
How do I configure the broker not to keep old messages? the important data is allways the last data, so if a consumer didn't get data, he will get next time the most updated.
I have configured on producer TTL as 250, but it doesn't seem to work...
One other thing,
How can I disable the creation of advisory topics?
Any help will be appreciated...
Advisory messages are required for
dynamic network broker topologies as
NetworkConnectors subscribe to
advisory messages. In the absence of
advisories, a network must be
statically configured.
Beware that using advisorySupport="false" will NOT work with dynamic network brokers as per this reference page: http://activemq.apache.org/advisory-message.html
Are you using a durable consumer to receive these messages from the topics concerned? If so, the broker will be holding on to all messages sent when you were disconnected. Switch to a regular consumer in order to only see "current" messages on the topic.
To prevent the creation of advisory topics and their associated messages add the advisorySupport="false" property to the <broker /> element of the ActiveMQ config file.
