INTRODUCTION
Performance Monitor truncates Microsoft Message Queuing queue names over 64 characters.



MORE INFORMATION
The 64-character limit in the Message Queuing library for Performance Monitor includes the following:
 * The computer name where the queue resides
 * The optional parts of the path, such as &quot;private$&quot;
 * The queue name itself

For example, the following queue name exceeds 64 characters:

\private$\Very_long_queue_name_so_total_exceeds_64_characters

Therefore, the queue name appears as follows:

\private$\Very_long_queue_name_so_total_exceeds_64_ch

When there are multiple queue names that may appear as duplicates if the queue name is truncated, additional characters are added to the end of the truncated queue names. This helps differentiate among the queue names. The following three queue names are examples:

\private$\Very_long_queue_name_so_total_exceeds_64_characters

\private$\Very_long_queue_name_so_total_exceeds_64_characters2

\private$\Very_long_queue_name_so_total_exceeds_64_characters3

When the queue names are truncated, these queue names appear as follows:

\private$\Very_long_queue_name_so_total_exceeds_64_ch

\private$\Very_long_queue_name_so_total_exceeds_64_ch#1

\private$\Very_long_queue_name_so_total_exceeds_64_ch#2
