GetMessagesRead and GetMessagesWrite metrics

Hi all.

In the "Transactions by API name" report/chart available in the Application Insights tab of an Azure Queue Storage resource, we have observed two metrics - GetMessagesRead and GetMessagesWrite.
However, I couldn't find any relevant information about these metrics in the documentation.

Would anyone be able to provide some clarification on what they mean?

Thank you.

    • GetMessagesRead: This likely represents the number of read operations performed with the GetMessages API call. This call is used to retrieve one or more messages from the front of the queue.
    • GetMessagesWrite: This likely represents the number of write operations performed with the GetMessages API call. It might seem counterintuitive to have write operations associated with a GetMessages call, but this could be due to the state management of messages. When a message is retrieved from the queue, its state changes (it becomes invisible for a certain period), which might be considered a write operation.
