| <div class="wiki-content maincontent"><h2 id="MirroredQueues-MirroredQueues">Mirrored Queues</h2> |
| |
| <p>Queues provide an excellent reliable and high performance <a shape="rect" href="how-does-a-queue-compare-to-a-topic.html">load balancing mechanism</a>. Each message placed on a queue can only be successfully processed by a single consumer. This is a good thing! <img class="emoticon emoticon-smile" src="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/s/en_GB/5997/6f42626d00e36f53fe51440403446ca61552e2a2.1/_/images/icons/emoticons/smile.png" data-emoticon-name="smile" alt="(smile)">. However sometimes you want to monitor what messages flow between the producers and consumers on a queue. </p> |
| |
| <p>To do this you can use <a shape="rect" href="virtual-destinations.html">Virtual Destinations</a> to setup a virtual Queue which forwards the message to multiple physical queues. However enabling this for every single queue in your system can be painful.</p> |
| |
| <p>So to make it easy to monitor queues, we have added a feature we call <em>Mirrored Queues</em>. Mirrored Queues are kinda like a zero-configuration <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://activemq.apache.org/camel/wire-tap.html">Wire Tap</a> on all of your queues inside your Message Broker.</p> |
| |
| <h3 id="MirroredQueues-Example">Example</h3> |
| |
| <p>For example imagine we have a number of producers sending to queue <strong>Foo.Bar</strong> and consumers consuming from queue <strong>Foo.Bar</strong> and we want to monitor or view activity. </p> |
| |
| <p>If you enable Mirrored Queues then by default you can subscribe to the topic <strong>VirtualTopic.Mirror.Foo.Bar</strong> and receive all the messages that are sent to the queue <strong>Foo.Bar</strong>. Since its a topic as many consumers can subscribe to this topic as are required.</p> |
| |
| <p>If you want you can use this feature with <a shape="rect" href="virtual-destinations.html">Virtual Topics</a>; so that you can define a logical consumer; say called A. Then you can subscribe to the queue <strong>Consumer.A.VirtualTopic.Mirror.Foo.Bar</strong> to receive all the messages sent to queue <strong>Foo.Bar</strong> for the consumer A. You can then run multiple instances of this consumer who can then load balance among each other.</p> |
| |
| <p>This combination of Mirrored Queues and <a shape="rect" href="virtual-destinations.html">Virtual Destinations</a> can be extremely useful for monitoring transaction flows; for example with <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://activemq.apache.org/camel/bam.html">Business Activity Monitoring (BAM)</a>.</p> |
| |
| <h3 id="MirroredQueues-HowMirroredQueueswork">How Mirrored Queues work</h3> |
| |
| <p>When enabled, mirrored queues causes every message sent to a queue to also be sent to a topic of a similar name; so that folks who are interested in watching message exchanges on a queue can consume from the mirrored queue topic.</p> |
| |
| <p>When coupled with <a shape="rect" href="virtual-destinations.html">Virtual Topics</a> on this topic as described in the above example, you can actually end up creating new queues which are mirrors of a given queue dynamically at runtime!</p> |
| |
| <h3 id="MirroredQueues-EnablingMirroredQueues">Enabling Mirrored Queues</h3> |
| |
| <p>By default Mirrored Queues is disabled; as enabling it will cause a virtual topic to be created for each queue you use.</p> |
| |
| <p>To enable Mirrored Queues, set the <strong>useMirroredQueues</strong> property on <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://activemq.apache.org/maven/activemq-core/apidocs/org/apache/activemq/broker/BrokerService.html">BrokerService</a> or add the following inside the <broker> element in the <a shape="rect" href="xml-configuration.html">Xml Configuration</a>:</p> |
| |
| <div class="code panel pdl" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent pdl"> |
| <pre class="brush: xml; gutter: false; theme: Default" style="font-size:12px;"> |
| <destinationInterceptors> |
| <mirroredQueue copyMessage = "true" postfix=".qmirror" prefix=""/> |
| </destinationInterceptors> |
| </pre> |
| </div></div> |
| |
| <p>This would make a topic named "*.qmirror" for each queue on your Broker.</p></div> |
