Access MaxDequeueCount from Azure function

Question

Hi

From a Queue triggered Function is it possible to access the MaxDequeueCount property of the queue? I want to manually handle the poison queue process so I need to know the MaxDequeueCount to do this.

Many thanks

Paul

@PAUL FALLOWS While I don't think there is a direct way of getting this information via a binding or through dependency injection, the host.json file is present right alongside your function app when deployed, so there is nothing stopping you from doing something like this 😅

string json = File.ReadAllText("./host.json");
var hostJson = ObjectSerializer.Deserialize<JsonNode>(json);

var maxDequeueCount = hostJson["extensions"]["queues"]["maxDequeueCount"];
