how to know how long a message has stayed in a queue?

[eric young]

Is it possible to know how long a message has been in a queue, say, 1
hour? My purpose is to find out whether messages in a message queue
are processed too slow. Thanks.

You can look at Message.ArrivedTime property. This property indicates
the time at which the message was put in the queue. See

.

Hope that helps,
