12:22 <tomsdad> Hello. Should alice return the number of messages in the queues? All I see is vhost, name and memory.

12:23 <auser> from 1.6, there is no way to retrieve that... I'm not sure if there is a way to do it now

12:23 <auser> but I doubt it actually

12:24 <auser> unless it's looking into the ets table

12:24 <auser> which I doubt is a good idea

12:24 <auser> I can't imagine that won't come with a performance hit on rabbit

12:25 <tomsdad> so 'rabbitmqctl list_queues' would be a performance hit?

12:25 <auser> no, that's listing the queues, not the messages

12:25 <auser> or does that list the message count now?

12:25 <tomsdad> Yep, shows the message count

12:26 <auser> it didn't used to, that's why I ask

12:26 <auser> then I'm sure they are tracking it now, which means Alice can find it

12:26 <tomsdad> would be most useful.
