Feature Request: Message filtering & Visibility of session state object in Azure Service Bus Explorer

[rohit3d2003]

Description

Recent release of Azure Service Bus Explorer does provide lot of great functionalities to manage and perform data operations on Service Bus including dead letter queue but I do see two additional features that would make it a viable option VS community managed Service Bus Explorer OSS tool.

1. Ability to Support staff to filter messages in queue - If we have 1000 of messages in dead letter queue, there should be a way to apply a SQL filter to reduce the result set. This will reduce overall time in finding, triaging and fixing an issue.
2. Ability to check session state object - If session state object is added to a message (Queue has session enabled), support team should be able to check session state object to help identify what has been done on a particular session so far.

Actual Behavior

1. Azure Portal Service Bus explorer does not currently allow message filtering and viewing session state object

Expected Behavior

1. Added functionalities to allow message filtering and viewing session state object via Azure Portal Service Bus Explorer

@rohit3d2003 for 1, would this be a filter you can apply after peeking / receiving messages, or something that should be done as part of the peek / receive. The first one we might be able to do today, the second would require a change on the service side.

@EldertGrootenboer - I am thinking of a scenario where there are 1000 messages in dead letter queue and the support team is looking to filter messages by Session Id or some other property as part of peek operation to reduce the number of messages they see
