made by this test are as
follows:

Journal queues allow you to save copies of messages as they are processed. You can store copies of the messages you send from your computer in the local machine journal queue, or you can store copies of messages removed from a queue in that queue's journal on the server. Journal storage can be useful if you need to resend a message at a later point.Journal queues have a maximum size, called a quota. This size is limited by the disk capacity of the computer on which the queue resides. If the value of this measure reaches the quota set for the journal queue, then the messages that would have been sent to the journal queue are no longer saved in the system. No errors are raised when this occurs. It is important that you periodically purge your journal queues to prevent this from occurring.

| Queue_length |
The number of messages in the queue

Number |
A very high value indicates that the MSMQ server is unable to process the messages faster. A value zero indicates that no messages are in queue to process.
