BacklogDebugger

Available from Camel 2.12

Camel supports a backlog debugger that is used for live debugging of message they are routed in Camel. The backlog debugger has additional functionality for easier debugging aimed at tooling, than the Debugger. The backlog debugger is exposed in JMX in the tracer node with the name BacklogDebugger. The JMX API is defined in the org.apache.camel.api.management.mbean.ManagedBacklogDebuggerMBean interface.

You can enable or disable the BacklogDebugger dynamically, by calling enableDebugger or disableDebugger methods.
