Expire policy for rabbitmq queue if there is not message available

[rajburnwal07]

Hey Team, I want to create a expiry policy where queue will be removed if there is no message available for expiry specified. Is it possible by any chance? As per documentation expiry policy will work if there is no consumer available for that queue.

Ref: https://www.rabbitmq.com/docs/ttl#queue-ttl

You can refer below for expiry policy I created.

apiVersion: rabbitmq.com/v1beta1
kind: Policy
metadata:
name: policy-ttl-queue
namespace: rabbitmq
spec:
name: "policy-demo-ttl-queue"
vhost: "/"
pattern: "^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+-[0-9_]+-[0-9_]+$"
applyTo: all
priority: 0
definition:
expires: 86400000
rabbitmqClusterReference:
name: rabbitmq

Please help me out if there is a way to do it where queue TTL can be set on condition for zero messages?

Thanks in advance.

curl -XDELETE https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@host/api/queues/VHOST/QUEUE_NAME -G -d 'if-empty=true' -d 'if-unused=true'
