monitoring specific individual queues

[Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]]

It depends what you mean by 'view'.

As Marc Powell suggested, you could use one of the RRDTools:

http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/rrdworld/

This will let you collect data and present the results visually (graphs).
This also allows you to view trends, which is always good.  :)

OTOH, if by 'view' you actually mean 'to have a finger on the pulse', then
Nagios (with the help of one or more plugins) should do quite nicely.  Ask
yourself if you can get a result from a command line for what you're trying
to ascertain, and if the answer is 'yes', then you can monitor it in Nagios.
This will give you the advantage of being able to set thresholds (warning,
critical) and be alerted in kind.

In summary:  If you want graphs and trending, use RRDTool and a frontend.
If you want to be alerted, use Nagios.
