MSMQ Message Viewer?

Question

I have messages in a MSMQ queue and I would like to view the full message.

I know I can write code to peek the queue, but was wondering if there is a viewer that already exists that will let me read the entire message?

Answer 1

There are a few options - all I found are commercial (not terribly expensive, but not free, either):

• Mqueue Viewer (free)

• Mulholland Q Set

• QueueExplorer

Answer 2

If you are using Visual Studio - Open Server Explorer under Servers/[Server Name] there is Message Queues folder that gives you view as well.

Service Bus MQ Manager is a free open-source tool I wrote to monitor the MSMQ in real-time for any incoming messages, it supports coloring and formatting of XML and JSON messages.
