@Matthias<br><br>I admit setting the queue count to zero is a bit of a yucky way of purging a queue. :-)<br>Serves me right for being a smart-*rse<br><br>however...<br><br>We already monitor our tiny rabbitmq infrastructure through nagios. Nagios allows custom commands to be run when certain thresholds are reached, being able to do that directly via SNMP is probably a cleaner way than writing/debugging/deploying and calling custom scripts. Purging queues is probably as inelegant as it gets, I don't think the same applies to altering queue/exchange types, bindings and the like. And such functionality paves the way for the official gumstix-sized rabbit appliance, look ma no hands or web interface!<br>
