MQSeries_Old_Message_On_Queue

Situation Description

The age of the oldest message on a queue is older than the given number of seconds. This can indicate that messages are not being processed in a timely way.

The default "Oldest Msg Age" threshold value in the situation formula is a suggested value.

The threshold value can be customized to suit your own environment.

 

Suggested Actions

Look at the application that should be removing messages from the queue and determine if there is a problem. Consider starting another copy of the application, if possible, to drain the queue faster. Check the Queue Status workspace for data associated with this situation; it is available as an alternative workspace under the Queue Statistics navigator item.
