23 -To enhance the observability of your integration landscape while running in the 3rd generation runtime architecture, we have added a new feature to our Manage phase called the "Queue browser." You can access this functionality via the "Explore" menu in Manage. Then, with the help of the queue browser, you can browse your queue as the name suggests.
20 +To enhance the observability of your integration landscape while running in the [[current generation architecture>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target="blank"]], we have added a new feature to our Manage phase called the "Topic browser." You can access this functionality via the "Explore" menu in Manage. Then, with the help of the topic browser, you can browse your topics as the name suggests.

25 -To do so, we offer two options within this functionality. First, we have the Explore function, and we have the Wiretap function. When selecting a queue and opting for the Explore option, you get a live view of the current data in the queue. Then, when choosing the Wiretap functionality, you automatically wiretap your queue and are presented with copies (on a particular queue) of your actual message that passes through the queue from the moment you press the Wiretap button.
22 +To do so, we show a list of topics belonging to your model you can explore.

26 +Per topic, you can zoom in on the partitions of each topic to check out the messages.

29 -After selecting the queue and choosing the option, eMagiz will show you the list of messages (oldest first) that are currently on the queue (Explore option) or that have passed the queue since the moment you activate the option (Wiretap option). For each message, you have various options at your disposal.
28 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@intermediate-testing-in-emagiz-topic-browser--topic-selected.png]]
30 30  
31 -* Delete the message from the queue (Explore option)
32 -** This means throwing away live data, which can be helpful in a test or acceptance environment where you inadvertently put many messages on a queue.
33 -* Clear message from the wiretap queue (Wiretap option)
34 -** Once you are done with the analysis of a specific message in the wiretap functionality, you can clear it from the overview, so it does not clutter the view anymore
35 -* Refresh messages list (both options)
36 -** By pressing this button, you can refresh the list of messages displayed to you. Note that the list is sorted in such a way that the oldest messages are shown first
30 +After selecting the topic and choosing the partition, eMagiz will show you the list of messages (latest first) that are currently on the topic. These messages, including headers and envelope, can be viewed by clicking on the message.

34 +On top of that we over the following options.
35 +
37 37  * Save as test message
38 38  ** By pressing this button, you can save the message and use it in our flow testing functionality in Create. Note that we link the message to the corresponding flow if we can. Should we not be able to do so, we link the message to your model so you can still use it in the flow testing functionality.
39 39  * Download
40 40  ** By pressing this button, you can download the message and use it outside of the tooling should that be needed.

47 -The following restrictions apply to this functionality:
48 - * Message payloads above 100KB are not shown in the queue browser as they constitute a "large message."

50 - ** After five minutes, the wiretap functionality will be shut down automatically underwater.
51 - ** To see new messages after five minutes, you must access the wiretap functionality from scratch.
