Configuring Addresses and Queues via Address Settings
There are some attributes that are defined against an address wildcard rather
than a specific address/queue. Here an example of an address-setting
entry
that would be found in the broker.xml
file.

The idea with address settings, is you can provide a block of settings which
will be applied against any addresses that match the string in the match
attribute. In the above example the settings would only be applied to the
address "order.foo" address but you can also use
wildcards to apply settings.
For example, if you used the match
string queue.#
the settings would be
applied to all addresses which start with queue.
Address settings are hierarchical. Therefore, if more than one
address-setting
would match then the settings are applied in order of their
specificity with the more specific match taking priority. A match on the
any-words delimiter (#
) is considered less specific than a match without it.
A match with a single word delimiter *
is considered less specific than a
match on an exact queue name. In this way settings can be "layered" so that
configuration details don't need to be repeated.
The meaning of the specific settings are explained fully throughout the user manual, however here is a brief description with a link to the appropriate chapter if available.
dead-letter-address
is the address to which messages are sent when they
exceed max-delivery-attempts
. If no address is defined here then such
messages will simply be discarded. Read more about undelivered
messages.
auto-create-dead-letter-resources
determines whether or not the broker will
automatically create the defined dead-letter-address
and a corresponding
dead-letter queue when a message is undeliverable. Read more in the chapter
about undelivered messages.
dead-letter-queue-prefix
defines the prefix used for automatically created
dead-letter queues. Read more in the chapter about
undelivered messages.
dead-letter-queue-suffix
defines the suffix used for automatically created
dead-letter queues. Read more in the chapter about
undelivered messages.
expiry-address
defines where to send a message that has expired. If no
address is defined here then such messages will simply be discarded. Read more
about message expiry.
auto-create-expiry-resources
determines whether or not the broker will
automatically create the defined expiry-address
and a corresponding expiry
queue when a message expired. Read more in the chapter about
undelivered messages.
expiry-queue-prefix
defines the prefix used for automatically created expiry
queues. Read more in the chapter about message expiry.
expiry-queue-suffix
defines the suffix used for automatically created expiry
queues. Read more in the chapter about message expiry.
expiry-delay
defines the expiration time that will be used for messages which
are using the default expiration time (i.e. 0). For example, if expiry-delay
is set to "10" and a message which is using the default expiration time (i.e.
0) arrives then its expiration time of "0" will be changed to "10." However, if
a message which is using an expiration time of "20" arrives then its expiration
time will remain unchanged. Setting expiry-delay
to "-1" will disable this
feature. The default is "-1". Read more about message
expiry.
max-delivery-attempts
defines how many time a cancelled message can be
redelivered before sending to the dead-letter-address
. Read more about
undelivered
messages.
redelivery-delay
defines how long to wait before attempting redelivery of a
cancelled message. Default is 0
. Read more about undelivered
messages.
redelivery-delay-multiplier
defines the number by which the
redelivery-delay
will be multiplied on each subsequent redelivery attempt.
Default is 1.0
. Read more about undelivered
messages.
redelivery-collision-avoidance-factor
defines an additional factor used to
calculate an adjustment to the redelivery-delay
(up or down). Default is
0.0
. Valid values are between 0.0 and 1.0. Read more about undelivered
messages.
max-size-bytes
, max-size-messages
, page-size-bytes
, max-read-page-messages
& max-read-page-bytes
are used to
configure paging on an address. This is explained
here.
max-size-bytes-reject-threshold
is used with the address full BLOCK
policy,
the maximum size (in bytes) an address can reach before messages start getting
rejected. Works in combination with max-size-bytes
for AMQP clients only.
Default is -1
(i.e. no limit).
address-full-policy
. This attribute can have one of the following values:
PAGE
, DROP
, FAIL
or BLOCK
and determines what happens when an address
where max-size-bytes
is specified becomes full. The default value is PAGE
.
If the value is PAGE
then further messages will be paged to disk. If the
value is DROP
then further messages will be silently dropped. If the value is
FAIL
then further messages will be dropped and an exception will be thrown on
the client-side. If the value is BLOCK
then client message producers will
block when they try and send further messages. See the Flow
Control and Paging chapters for more info.
message-counter-history-day-limit
is the number of days to keep message
counter history for this address assuming that message-counter-enabled
is
true
. Default is 0
.
default-last-value-queue
defines whether a queue only uses last values or
not. Default is false
. This value can be overridden at the queue level using
the last-value
boolean. Read more about last value
queues.
default-exclusive-queue
defines whether a queue will serve only a single
consumer. Default is false
. This value can be overridden at the queue level
using the exclusive
boolean. Read more about exclusive
queues.
default-consumers-before-dispatch
defines the number of consumers needed on a
queue bound to the matching address before messages will be dispatched to those
consumers. Default is 0
. This value can be overridden at the queue level using
the consumers-before-dispatch
boolean. This behavior can be tuned using
delay-before-dispatch
on the queue itself or by using the
default-delay-before-dispatch
address-setting.
default-delay-before-dispatch
defines the number of milliseconds the broker
will wait for the configured number of consumers to connect to the matching queue
before it will begin to dispatch messages. Default is -1
(wait forever).
redistribution-delay
defines how long to wait when the last consumer is
closed on a queue before redistributing any messages. Read more about
clusters.
send-to-dla-on-no-route
. If a message is sent to an address, but the server
does not route it to any queues (e.g. there might be no queues bound to that
address, or none of the queues have filters that match) then normally that
message would be discarded. However, if this parameter is true
then such a
message will instead be sent to the dead-letter-address
(DLA) for that
address, if it exists. Default is false
.
slow-consumer-threshold
. The minimum rate of message consumption allowed
before a consumer is considered "slow." Measured in units specified by the
slow-consumer-threshold-measurement-unit configuration option. Default is -1
(i.e. disabled); any other value must be greater than 0 to ensure a queue
has messages, and it is the actual consumer that is slow. A value of 0 will
allow a consumer with no messages pending to be considered slow.
Read more about slow consumers.
slow-consumer-threshold-measurement-unit
. The units used to measure the
slow-consumer-threshold. Valid options are:
- MESSAGES_PER_SECOND
- MESSAGES_PER_MINUTE
- MESSAGES_PER_HOUR
- MESSAGES_PER_DAY
If no unit is specified the default MESSAGES_PER_SECOND will be used. Read more about slow consumers.
slow-consumer-policy
. What should happen when a slow consumer is detected.
KILL
will kill the consumer's connection (which will obviously impact any
other client threads using that same connection). NOTIFY
will send a
CONSUMER_SLOW management notification which an application could receive and
take action with. Read more about slow consumers.
slow-consumer-check-period
. How often to check for slow consumers on a
particular queue. Measured in seconds. Default is 5
.
- Note: This should be at least 2x the maximum time it takes a consumer to process 1 message. For example, if the slow-consumer-threshold is set to 1 and the slow-consumer-threshold-measurement-unit is set to MESSAGES_PER_MINUTE then this should be set to at least 2 x 60s i.e. 120s. Read more about slow consumers.
auto-create-queues
. Whether or not the broker should automatically create a
queue when a message is sent or a consumer tries to connect to a queue whose
name fits the address match
. Queues which are auto-created are durable,
non-temporary, and non-transient. Default is true
. Note: automatic queue
creation does not work for the core client. The core API is a low-level API
and is not meant to have such automation.
auto-delete-queues
. Whether or not the broker should automatically delete
auto-created queues when they have both 0 consumers and the message count is
less than or equal to auto-delete-queues-message-count
. Default is
true
.
auto-delete-created-queues
. Whether or not the broker should automatically delete
created queues when they have both 0 consumers and the message count is
less than or equal to auto-delete-queues-message-count
. Default is
false
.
auto-delete-queues-delay
. How long to wait (in milliseconds) before deleting
auto-created queues after the queue has 0 consumers and the message count is
less than or equal to auto-delete-queues-message-count
.
Default is 0
(delete immediately). The broker's address-queue-scan-period
controls
how often (in milliseconds) queues are scanned for potential deletion. Use -1
to disable scanning. The default scan value is 30000
.
auto-delete-queues-message-count
. The message count that the queue must be
less than or equal to before deleting auto-created queues.
To disable message count check -1
can be set.
Default is 0
(empty queue).
Note: the above auto-delete address settings can also be configured individually at the queue level when a client auto creates the queue.
For Core API it is exposed in createQueue methods.
For Core JMS you can set it using the destination queue attributes
my.destination?auto-delete=true&auto-delete-delay=120000&auto-delete-message-count=-1
config-delete-queues
. How the broker should handle queues deleted on config
reload, by delete policy: OFF
or FORCE
. Default is OFF
. Read more about
configuration reload.
config-delete-diverts
. How the broker should handle diverts deleted on config
reload, by delete policy: OFF
or FORCE
. Default is OFF
. Read more about
configuration reload.
auto-create-addresses
. Whether or not the broker should automatically create
an address when a message is sent to or a consumer tries to consume from a
queue which is mapped to an address whose name fits the address match
.
Default is true
. Note: automatic address creation does not work for the
core client. The core API is a low-level API and is not meant to have such
automation.
auto-delete-addresses
. Whether or not the broker should automatically delete
auto-created addresses once the address no longer has any queues. Default is
true
.
auto-delete-addresses-delay
. How long to wait (in milliseconds) before
deleting auto-created addresses after they no longer have any queues. Default
is 0
(delete immediately). The broker's address-queue-scan-period
controls
how often (in milliseconds) addresses are scanned for potential deletion. Use
-1
to disable scanning. The default scan value is 30000
.
config-delete-addresses
. How the broker should handle addresses deleted on
config reload, by delete policy: OFF
or FORCE
. Default is OFF
. Read more
about configuration reload.
management-browse-page-size
is the number of messages a management resource
can browse. This is relevant for the browse, list and count-with-filter
management
methods exposed on the queue control. Default is 200
.
management-message-attribute-size-limit
is the number of bytes collected from
the message for browse. This is relevant for the browse and list
management
methods exposed on the queue control. Message attributes longer than this value
appear truncated. Default is 256
. Use -1
to switch this limit off. Note that
memory needs to be allocated for all messages that are visible at a given moment.
Setting this value too high may impact the browser stability due to the large
amount of memory that may be required to browse through many messages.
default-purge-on-no-consumers
defines a queue's default
purge-on-no-consumers
setting if none is provided on the queue itself.
Default is false
. This value can be overridden at the queue level using the
purge-on-no-consumers
boolean. Read more about this
functionality.
default-max-consumers
defines a queue's default max-consumers
setting if
none is provided on the queue itself. Default is -1
(i.e. no limit). This
value can be overridden at the queue level using the max-consumers
boolean.
Read more about this
functionality.
default-queue-routing-type
defines the routing-type for an auto-created queue
if the broker is unable to determine the routing-type based on the client
and/or protocol semantics. Default is MULTICAST
. Read more about routing
types.
default-address-routing-type
defines the routing-type for an auto-created
address if the broker is unable to determine the routing-type based on the
client and/or protocol semantics. Default is MULTICAST
. Read more about
routing types.
default-consumer-window-size
defines the default consumerWindowSize
value
for a CORE
protocol consumer, if not defined the default will be set to
1 MiB (1024 * 1024 bytes). The consumer will use this value as the window size
if the value is not set on the client. Read more about
flow control.
default-ring-size
defines the default ring-size
value for any matching queue
which doesn't have ring-size
explicitly defined. If not defined the default will
be set to -1. Read more about ring queues.
retroactive-message-count
defines the number of messages to preserve for future
queues created on the matching address. Defaults to 0. Read more about
retroactive addresses.
enable-metrics
determines whether or not metrics will be published to any
configured metrics plugin for the matching address. Default is true
. Read more
about metrics.
enable-ingress-timestamp
determines whether or not the broker will add its time
to messages sent to the matching address. When true
the exact behavior will
depend on the specific protocol in use. For AMQP messages the broker will add a
long
message annotation named x-opt-ingress-time
. For core messages (used by
the core and OpenWire protocols) the broker will add a long property named
_AMQ_INGRESS_TIMESTAMP
. For STOMP messages the broker will add a frame header
named ingress-timestamp
. The value will be the number of milliseconds since the
epoch. Default is false
.
