Windows Service Bus Topic/Queue Monitoring

4

What is the recommended way of monitoring Windows Service Bus Subscription and Queues? I would ideally like to monitor and alert on:

-Dead letter count

-Total Message

-Messages older than a given timespan

I have looked at SCOM Packs http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=35383 but it appears to monitor the Farm and Hosts etc, not individual queues or topics.

Ideally I would like a pre-build application instead of having to develop one if at all possible.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

In the Windows Azure SDK 2.0 release was added "Message Browse" features

You can use the features above to try to monitoring queue to obtain requested data.
