I'm relatively new to queues, but think I know enough to get started, but I've run into a problem with a new queue I've created.
We are currently using a service bus queue successfully and its handling many messages a day. I have now created a second queue with the same settings as the first, and have sent many messages to it (see active count in the screenshot).
But the Messages graph is flat and the totals below it (Incoming/Outgoing) have no values.
I dont understand how this can be? How can the queue have active messages sitting in it but the Message graph not show them? Am I misunderstanding what the graph is showing? Or have I not fully enabled the queue?

Also could you please select a shorter timespan? As of now you have selected 30 days data. Please try to select last 1 day or 12 hours to check if the messages show up in the graph

2021-10-27T08:39:12.88+00:00 The message have been there for 3 days.
Why would the time span make a difference to the graph?I have now changed the metric of the graph from Incoming to Active Messages, and that is now showing me the correct figures for messages in the queue at points in the past.
But now I am confused as to what Incoming means? Why would a graph of Incoming Messages be different to Active Messages?
And why would the Incoming Messages graph be flat until I start reading from the queue
