<p>I'm experiencing an <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/248182/my-c-activemq-client-can-send-messages-but-not-receive-messages">issue</a> with ActiveMQ and would like to trace/view all ActiveMQ activity.  The only log file I can find is one associated with persistent data (if this is turned on).  Are there any other log files I view or generate to tell me what's happening under the hood of ActiveMQ and why my consumers aren't consuming messages?  Any other suggestions?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance! </p>

activemq has a jmx interface that you can connect to.
this gives us access to consumer counts messages queued dequeue and all sorts of data on memory usage etc.
http://activemq.apache.org/jmx.html
Has all the details to get you started.
I find it excellent in finding out whats going on with activemq.
A quick firing up of jconsole and you will be well on your way to finding out what is going on.
