Azure Monitoring tools provide consolidated monitoring and smart solutions. It performs business activity monitoring. Business applications will get better managed by the use of these solutions. Serverless360, Application Insights, Azure Monitor, and Service Bus Explorer are our top solutions for Azure Monitoring. Please note that Azure Storage Explorer is using Peek Messages API to show messages in a queue. This operation retrieves one or more messages from the front of the queue.
Azure Queue Storage is a service for storing large numbers of messages that can be accessed from anywhere in the world via HTTP or HTTPS. For detailed information, see Introduction to Azure Queue Storage. This how-to article covers common Queue Storage operations. You learn how to:
- Create a queue
- Retrieve a queue
- Add a message
- Read a message
- Delete a message
- Delete a queue
This how-to guide requires the Azure PowerShell (Az
) module v0.7 or later. Fcp for mac free download. Run Get-Module -ListAvailable Az
to find the currently installed version. If you need to upgrade, see Install Azure PowerShell module.
There are no PowerShell cmdlets for the data plane for queues. To perform data plane operations such as add a message, read a message, and delete a message, you have to use the .NET storage client library as it is exposed in PowerShell. You create a message object and then you can use commands such as AddMessage
to perform operations on that message. This article shows you how to do that.
Note
This article has been updated to use the Azure Az PowerShell module. The Az PowerShell module isthe recommended PowerShell module for interacting with Azure. To get started with the AzPowerShell module, see Install Azure PowerShell. To learn howto migrate to the Az PowerShell module, seeMigrate Azure PowerShell from AzureRM to Az.
Sign in to Azure
Sign in to your Azure subscription with the Connect-AzAccount
command and follow the on-screen directions.
Retrieve list of locations
If you don't know which location you want to use, you can list the available locations. After the list is displayed, find the one you want to use. This exercise will use eastus
. Store this in the variable location
for future use.
Create resource group
Create a resource group with the New-AzResourceGroup command.
An Azure resource group is a logical container into which Azure resources are deployed and managed. Store the resource group name in a variable for future use. In this example, a resource group named howtoqueuesrg
is created in the eastus
region.
Create storage account
Create a standard general-purpose storage account with locally redundant storage (LRS) using New-AzStorageAccount. Get the storage account context that defines the storage account to be used. When acting on a storage account, you reference the context instead of repeatedly providing the credentials.
Create a queue
The following example first establishes a connection to Azure Storage using the storage account context, which includes the storage account name and its access key. Next, it calls New-AzStorageQueue cmdlet to create a queue named howtoqueue
.
For information on naming conventions for Azure Queue Storage, see Naming queues and metadata.
Retrieve a queue
You can query and retrieve a specific queue or a list of all the queues in a storage account. The following examples demonstrate how to retrieve all queues in the storage account, and a specific queue; both commands use the Get-AzStorageQueue cmdlet.
Add a message to a queue
Operations that impact the actual messages in the queue use the .NET storage client library as exposed in PowerShell. To add a message to a queue, create a new instance of the message object, Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Queue.CloudQueueMessage
class. Next, call the AddMessage
method. A CloudQueueMessage
can be created from either a string (in UTF-8 format) or a byte array.
The following example demonstrates how to add a message to your queue.
If you use the Azure Storage Explorer, you can connect to your Azure account and view the queues in the storage account, and drill down into a queue to view the messages on the queue.
Read a message from the queue, then delete it
Messages are read in best-try first-in-first-out order. This is not guaranteed. Super mario bros games free download for mac. When you read the message from the queue, it becomes invisible to all other processes looking at the queue. This ensures that if your code fails to process the message due to hardware or software failure, another instance of your code can get the same message and try again.
This invisibility timeout defines how long the message remains invisible before it is available again for processing. The default is 30 seconds.
Your code reads a message from the queue in two steps. Fifa 14 for mac free download. When you call the Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Queue.CloudQueue.GetMessage
method, you get the next message in the queue. A message returned from GetMessage
becomes invisible to any other code reading messages from this queue. To finish removing the message from the queue, you call the Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Queue.CloudQueue.DeleteMessage
method.
In the following example, you read through the three queue messages, then wait 10 seconds (the invisibility timeout). Then you read the three messages again, deleting the messages after reading them by calling DeleteMessage
. If you try to read the queue after the messages are deleted, $queueMessage
will be returned as $null
.
Delete a queue
To delete a queue and all the messages contained in it, call the Remove-AzStorageQueue
cmdlet. The following example shows how to delete the specific queue used in this exercise using the Remove-AzStorageQueue
cmdlet.
Clean up resources
To remove all of the assets you have created in this exercise, remove the resource group. This also deletes all resources contained within the group. In this case, it removes the storage account created and the resource group itself.
