Our tracer tool (http://www.rabbitmq.com/examples.html#tracer) would be 
a starting point. See 
http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-java-client/file/default/src/com/rabbitmq/tools/Tracer.java 
for the code.

Though if I was working on this myself I'd probably write it in Erlang.

I reckon an AMQP proxy with some pluggable logic would be a great asset 
to many AMQP users.

Matthias.
