Historical Queue Statistics workspace

The Historical Queue Statistics workspace displays queue usage statistics for monitored queues running on the selected queue manager, over the selected period of time for which historical records are available (maximum 24 hours if you do not customize the warehouse proxy). Use the statistics to compare the activity and parameters of different queues in order to resolve performance problems.

The IBM® MQ Monitoring agent also provides current and recent versions of this workspace, which you can use to view the latest available report data or a recent snapshot of data taken at a particular point in time.

Historical data is not collected for alias queues. This workspace contains historical data for local queues only.

Predefined views

The Historical Queue Statistics workspace includes the following predefined views:

  • Historical Queue Statistics This view displays queue usage statistics for monitored queues running on the selected queue manager, over the selected period of time for which historical records are available (maximum 24 hours if you do not customize the warehouse proxy). Each local queue is only listed once, even if there are several alias queues mapped to it. Select a queue from this list to view more information about it. Use the statistics provided to compare the activity and parameters of different queues. The following factors can adversely affect performance:
    • Lengthy logical units of work
    • A resource intensive CICS® transaction or program
  • Queue Utilization This view shows, as a bar chart, the current utilization level (percentage of available space used) of each queue managed by the selected queue manager's, over the selected period of time for which historical records are available (maximum 24 hours if you do not customize the warehouse proxy).

For more information on the attributes listed in the tables of this workspace, see Queue Long Term History attributes.
