Monitor MSMQ

Question

I'm trying to monitor a remote private msmq in a Server 2003 cluster with the MSMQ Local Admin API and the mgmtinfo.exe utility. I can list the queues on the clustered resource with the command:

mgmtinfo.exe server-name machine

but cannot get information about the individual queues. I'm having difficulty crafting a correct format name:

mgmtinfo.exe queue=<FORMAT NAME>

What is the format name for private (clustered) queues? I have seen references to guid's but I can't find one associated withe queue... Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

If the queue is a private queue: .\private$\YourCustomQueue

I think it is .\system$\ and .\outgoing$ for the other queues.

Answer 2

Try

FormatName:DIRECT=OS:servername\private$\queuename
