[rabbitmq-discuss] Retrieve N messages from queue?

Fri May 2 23:05:11 BST 2014

Is it possible to look at the queue size in rabbit MQ from client code?  Is 
it possible to pop multiple messages off the queue at the same time? I have 
a queue full of error messages that needs to periodically be emailed to a 
given list of people.   Don't necessarily want to send an email for each 
message as the rate of errors could occasionally be quite high resulting in 
email spam and pressure on the mail server.  Was thinking I could 
periodically poll a rabbit queue and send one email every 5 minutes where 
each email could contain N messages from RabbitMQ.  Please advise.

thanks

scott
