## Get Queue Metrics

`client.Queues.GetMetrics(ctx, queueID, query) (*QueueGetMetricsResponse, error)`

**get** `/accounts/{account_id}/queues/{queue_id}/metrics`

Return best-effort metrics for a queue. Values may be approximate due to the distributed nature of queues.

### Parameters

- `queueID string`

  A Resource identifier.

- `query QueueGetMetricsParams`

  - `AccountID param.Field[string]`

    A Resource identifier.

### Returns

- `type QueueGetMetricsResponse struct{…}`

  Best-effort metrics for the queue. Values may be approximate due to the distributed nature of queues.

  - `BacklogBytes float64`

    The size in bytes of unacknowledged messages in the queue.

  - `BacklogCount float64`

    The number of unacknowledged messages in the queue.

  - `OldestMessageTimestampMs float64`

    Unix timestamp in milliseconds of the oldest unacknowledged message in the queue. Returns 0 if unknown.

### Example

```go
package main

import (
  "context"
  "fmt"

  "github.com/cloudflare/cloudflare-go"
  "github.com/cloudflare/cloudflare-go/option"
  "github.com/cloudflare/cloudflare-go/queues"
)

func main() {
  client := cloudflare.NewClient(
    option.WithAPIToken("Sn3lZJTBX6kkg7OdcBUAxOO963GEIyGQqnFTOFYY"),
  )
  response, err := client.Queues.GetMetrics(
    context.TODO(),
    "023e105f4ecef8ad9ca31a8372d0c353",
    queues.QueueGetMetricsParams{
      AccountID: cloudflare.F("023e105f4ecef8ad9ca31a8372d0c353"),
    },
  )
  if err != nil {
    panic(err.Error())
  }
  fmt.Printf("%+v\n", response.BacklogBytes)
}
```
