Enqueued - Dequeued - Expired = total unprocessed messages (what I would call "the total number of messages in a queue at any point)
Messages can be either dispatched (i.e. delivered to a consumer's prefetch buffer to be processed when the consumer is ready for them) or pending (i.e. still on the broker, waiting for a consumer to be ready to accept dispatch of them). Dispatched + Pending = total unprocessed messages So Enqueued = Dequeued + Dispatched + Pending + Expired Note that these numbers get more complicated for topics, because the Dequeued and Expired counts increases once per consumer who receives the message, so for each message enqueued, it might be dequeued zero, one, or more than one times, which makes it hard to reason about whether the number is what you'd expect it to be.
