Thanks. I configured a queue in the broker.xml file and re started artemis.
Added the queue element inside the core element like this
<core>
<queues>
<queue name="myQ">
<address>myQ</address>
<durable>false</durable>
</queue>
</queues>
</core>
and I get this
[vncuser@qa-centos7x64-102 broker1]$ curl --head
http://localhost:8161/queues/myQ
