## Get Queue Metrics

`queues.get_metrics(strqueue_id, QueueGetMetricsParams**kwargs)  -> QueueGetMetricsResponse`

**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

- `account_id: str`

  A Resource identifier.

- `queue_id: str`

  A Resource identifier.

### Returns

- `class QueueGetMetricsResponse: …`

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

  - `backlog_bytes: float`

    The size in bytes of unacknowledged messages in the queue.

  - `backlog_count: float`

    The number of unacknowledged messages in the queue.

  - `oldest_message_timestamp_ms: float`

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

### Example

```python
import os
from cloudflare import Cloudflare

client = Cloudflare(
    api_token=os.environ.get("CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN"),  # This is the default and can be omitted
)
response = client.queues.get_metrics(
    queue_id="023e105f4ecef8ad9ca31a8372d0c353",
    account_id="023e105f4ecef8ad9ca31a8372d0c353",

print(response.backlog_bytes)
```
