**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

  A Resource identifier.

- `params: QueueGetMetricsParams`

  - `account_id: string`

    A Resource identifier.

### Returns

- `QueueGetMetricsResponse`

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

  - `backlog_bytes: number`

    The size in bytes of unacknowledged messages in the queue.

  - `backlog_count: number`

    The number of unacknowledged messages in the queue.

  - `oldest_message_timestamp_ms: number`

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