Thanks Justin I’m familiar with the data exp command however not sure there’s a flag to provide it with a specific .amq file ?
artemis data exp [--jdbc-driver-class-name <jdbcClassName>] [--journal <journal>] [--jdbc-connection-url <jdbcURL>] [--large-messages <largeMessges>] [--jdbc-bindings-table-name <jdbcBindings>] [--paging <paging>] [--f] [--jdbc-large-message-table-name <jdbcLargeMessages>] [--broker <brokerConfig>] [--jdbc-page-store-table-name <jdbcPageStore>] [--bindings <binding>] [--jdbc] [--verbose] [--jdbc-message-table-name <jdbcMessages>] [--jdbc-node-manager-table-name <jdbcNodeManager>] [--output <output>] On 19 Apr 2022, at 20:00, Justin Bertram <jbert...@apache.org<mailto:jbert...@apache.org>> wrote: Technically speaking, the journal files are not encrypted. They just use a binary format that's not human readable. There are a handful of "data" tools [1] that might be helpful. The most "friendly" is probably the "data exp" command which will export the contents of the journal into an XML format. However, it's worth noting that the body of the messages themselves will not be human readable. As far as the broker is concerned the content of the message is just an array of bytes and it has no reliable way to decode those bytes into a human readable format. Hope that helps.
