In this example, a queue contains 12 unacknowledged messages.
This occurs when a consumer has not acknowledged the messages. Expanding Consumers will list the consumers that are have not acknowledged the messages.
The preferred approach here is to have the consumer send an AMQ basic.recover, which will attempt to redeliver an unacknowledged message. If this fails, you can select Connections > Close this connection > Force close.
