Apache ActiveMQ ™ -- Per Destination Policies
Features > Destination Features > Per Destination Policies
Multiple different policies can be applied per destination (queue or topic), or using wildcard notation to apply to a hierarchy of queues or topics, making it possible, therefore, to configure how different regions of the JMS destination space are handled.
The following properties can be applied to either topics and/or queues:
Common Property
Default
Description
advisoryForConsumed
false
Send an advisory message when a message is consumed by a client.
advisoryForDelivery
false
Send an advisory message when a message is sent to a client.
advisoryForFastProducers
false
Send an advisory message if a producer is deemed fast.
advisoryForSlowConsumers
false
Send an advisory message if a consumer is deemed slow.
advisoryWhenFull
false
Send an advisory message when a limit (memory, store, temp disk) is full.
enableAudit
true
When true the broker will track duplicate messages. Duplicates can happen for non-persistent messages during failover.
gcInactiveDestinations
false
Garbage collect inactive destinations.
inactiveTimoutBeforeGC
5000
The timeout (in ms) after which a destination is considered inactive.
includeBodyForAdvisory
false
Includes the body of the original message that triggered the advisory as part of the dataStructure field in the advisory message (where applicable). Normally the message body is cleared.
maxBrowsePageSize
400
The maximum number of messages to page in from the store at one time for a browser.
maxDestinations
-1
(v5.12) If >= 0, sets the maximum number of destinations that can be created. This parameter is intended to limit the number of hierarchical destinations that can be created under a wildcard destination.
maxPageSize
200
The maximum number of messages to page in from the store at one time. Increase this value to improve performance for queue destination's that contain grouped messages that are consumed by multiple concurrent consumers.
memoryLimit
n/a
The memory limit (in bytes) of the destination's cursor.
This memory limit is subordinate to the system level memory limit, as specified by the <systemUsage>/<memoryUsage> attribute. There is no default for this value; it simply acts as a child to the overall broker memory until the broker memory is exhausted.
Note: when this limit is specified the destination's cursorMemoryHighWaterMark will be applied against it and not the <systemUsage>/><memoryUsage> memory limit.
minimumMessageSize
1024
For non-serialized messages (embedded broker) - the assumed size of the message used for memory usage calculation. Serialized messages use the serialized size as the basis for the memory calculation.
prioritizedMessages
false
Persist message priority information.
producerFlowControl
true
If true the broker will throttle (flow-control) the producer. Throttling is achieved either by withholding the producer's ACK or by raising a javax.jms.ResourceAllocationException (that's propagated back to the client) when local resources, e.g., memory and/or storage, have been exhausted.
If false excess messages will be written to the message store to prevent memory exhaustion. However, when the message store reaches capacity the producer will be throttled until resources are freed.
slowConsumerStrategy
null
Sets the strategy for handling slow consumers. See AbortSlowConsumerStrategy.
storeUsageHighWaterMark
100
The percentage (%) threshold of the <systemUsage>/<storeUsage> store limit which when exceeded causes a producer send to block.
useCache
true
If true persistent messages are cached for fast retrieval from store.
usePrefetchExtension
true
The prefetch extension is used when a message is delivered but not ACK'ed, such that the broker can dispatch another message, e.g., prefetch == 0, the idea being that there will always be prefetch number of messages pending. It also allows a transaction batch to exceed the prefetch value.
sendFailIfNoSpace
false
(v5.16.0) If true, will cause a send to fail with a javax.jms.ResourceAllocationException when the destination has reached is resource limits (memory or storage)
sendFailIfNoSpaceAfterTimeout
0
(v5.16.0) If > 0, will cause a send to fail with a javax.jms.ResourceAllocationException when the destination resource limits (memory or storage) remain exhausted for the configured duration in milliseconds
The following properties can be applied only to a queue:
Queue Only Property
Default
Description
allConsumersExclusiveByDefault
false
When true all consumers will be exclusive. See ActiveMQ Exclusive Consumers
cursorMemoryHighWaterMark
70
The percentage (%) threshold applied either to the <systemUsage>/<memoryUsage> or the destination's memoryLimit (when defined) which when exceeded will cause the destination's cursor to either block or write to disk.
consumersBeforeDispatchStarts
0
When the first consumer connects, wait for specified number of consumers before message dispatching starts.
expireMessagesPeriod
30000
The period (in ms) of checks for message expiry on queued messages.
A value of 0 will disable expiration checking.
lazyDispatch
false
Only page in from store the number of messages that can be dispatched at time.
maxExpirePageSize
400
The maximum number of messages to page in when periodically expiring messages.
Messages are paged in according to this setting if the number of messages in memory pending dispatch is less than this value, and there are messages in the store to page in. Messages are expired during this paging step as they are brought into memory from the store.
Once the paging process is completed, messages are expired from the list of those that are in memory and pending dispatch, then from the list of those that are in memory but not yet targeted at a subscription.
optimizedDispatch
false
Don't use a separate thread for dispatching from a Queue.
persistJMSRedelivered
false
(v 5.10) If true, before a persistent message is dispatched by the broker for the first time, the message is rewritten to reflect the possible delivery.
This ensures the message JMSRedelivered header is a reliable indication of possible duplicate delivery.
queuePrefetch
n/a
Sets the prefetch for consumers that are using the default value.
strictOrderDispatch
false
If true queue will not round robin consumers, but it'll use a single one until its prefetch buffer is full.
timeBeforeDispatchStarts
0
When the first consumer connects, wait for specified time (in ms) before message dispatching starts.
useConsumerPriority
true
Use the priority of a consumer when dispatching messages from a Queue.
The following properties can be applied only to a topic:
Topic Only Property
Default
Description
advisoryForDiscardingMessages
false
Send an advisory when a message is discarded from a non durable subscription.
cursorMemoryHighWaterMark
70
The percentage (%) threshold applied to the <systemUsage>/<memoryUsage> which when exceeded will cause the destination's cursor to either block or write to disk.
alwaysRetroactive
false
Makes all subscribers retroactive negating the need to modify the clients to enable this feature.
durableTopicPrefetch
n/a
Sets the prefetch for durable topic consumers that are using the default value.
expireMessagesPeriod
30000
The interval (in ms) between message expiration checks on inactive durable subscribers.
Note: set to 0 to disable message expiration checking.
topicPrefetch
n/a
Sets the prefetch for topic consumers that are using the default value.
The following are examples of different policies that can be customized on a per destination basis:
