Administration tools

Being able to view and administer messages in a production environment is mandatory, especially when things go wrong. Fortunately, there is a tool available called Service Bus Explorer, which allows you to connect to a Service Bus namespace and administer the message entities. It can be downloaded at https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsazure/Service-Bus-Explorer-f2abca5a.
