Is there any way to query queues from SEMP and filter based on the message count? If I try to add a where clause to the URL with msgs.count I get the following error: “where query error: Collection ‘msgs’ not allowed”. If not, I’ll just load all queues and filter in my application. Thanks, Pete

The current number of messages in the queue can be gotten by querying the queue for all its messages, and looking at the “count” element in the “meta” element.

Peter, Can you try something like the below ? http://{{BROKER}}:{{PORT}}/SEMP/v2/monitor/msgVpns/{{VPN}}/queues?select=queueName,spooledMsgCount&where=spooledMsgCount>10

Thanks, I’ll filter the queues then in my application after I query all of them. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing a way for the broker to do that for me.
