Managing Destinations

Managing a destination involves one or more of the following tasks:

• Creating, pausing, resuming, or destroying a destination

• Listing all destinations on a broker

• Displaying information about the state and properties of a destination

• Displaying metrics information for a destination

• Compacting disk space used to persist messages for a destination

• Updating a physical destination’s properties

Management tasks vary with the kind of destination being managed: admin-created, auto-created, temporary, or dead message queue. For example, temporary destinations do not need to be explicitly destroyed; auto created properties are configured using broker configuration properties which apply to all auto-created destinations on that broker.
