QueueHunterQUEUE OBSERVABILITY
RabbitMQ + Kafka · message debugging

Find, inspect and replay stuck messages across RabbitMQ and Kafka in minutes.

Self-hosted queue observability for development, staging, and production. Investigate captured payloads across both brokers in one focused workspace.

Connect your own RabbitMQ and Kafka infrastructure. You control what is captured and where messages are replayed.

The problem

When an event disappears into a pipeline, debugging gets slow.

QueueHunter helps teams inspect message traffic without piecing every incident together from terminal commands and scattered logs.

⌕

Find the event

Browse and filter captured RabbitMQ and Kafka messages in a single interface.

{ }

Inspect the payload

Open the JSON body to investigate missing values, malformed data, or an unexpected event shape.

↻

Replay with control

Send a captured message to a destination you choose, then inspect how downstream services handle it.

RabbitMQ copy behavior: the current test setup uses a dedicated mirror queue bound to a fanout exchange. Only messages published to that configured exchange are mirrored. Replay creates a new message and may trigger processing again.
Why QueueHunter

A focused view across RabbitMQ and Kafka.

QueueHunter complements your broker tools with a shared view of selected captured traffic across RabbitMQ and Kafka. Use it in development, staging, or production with capture scope, access, retention, and replay destinations set to your operational policies.

R/K

One message stream

Inspect captured RabbitMQ and Kafka messages side by side, without switching between broker-specific dashboards.

Compared with Conduktor

Conduktor is a broader Kafka platform for operating clusters, topics, schemas and governance. Choose it for deep Kafka management; QueueHunter brings captured Kafka and RabbitMQ messages into one searchable workspace. Conduktor documentation ↗

Compared with RabbitMQ Management

RabbitMQ Management is the native operations console for queues, exchanges, bindings, connections and broker metrics. QueueHunter works as a message-investigation layer: search captured payloads across RabbitMQ and Kafka, then replay to a destination you select. RabbitMQ Management docs ↗

Use the right tool for each job: Conduktor and RabbitMQ Management remain the broker-specific tools for cluster administration, topic and queue configuration, metrics, schemas, and governance. QueueHunter adds a focused cross-broker workflow for searching captured payloads and replaying them to a destination you choose.
How it works

Observe the flow. Keep your broker in control.

QueueHunter runs alongside your messaging infrastructure. It observes configured traffic while your applications continue using their brokers.

01 / CONNECT

Connect your brokers

Configure the broker endpoints and select the queues or topics you want to inspect.

02 / INSPECT

Investigate captured copies

Use the dashboard to review messages recorded by the QueueHunter listeners.

03 / REPLAY

Verify a fix with replay

Replay to the destination appropriate for your workflow. A replay creates a new event and is not an undo operation.
