IBM MQ Monitoring agent help

You can use the IBM® MQ Monitoring agent to easily collect and analyze MQ specific data for all your remote and local queue managers from a single vantage point, thereby providing all of the information you need to manage your IBM MQ (WebSphere® MQ) environments effectively.

IBM MQ Monitoring agent provides the following information:

  • Queue Manager Status

    IBM MQ Monitoring agent provides an overview of all queue managers that you have asked to monitor and lets you quickly see whether or not they are active.

  • Performance Data

    Performance data is provided for the buffer manager (including the DASD pagesets where buffers are written), log manager, and message manager components of a queue manager on z/OS® systems.

  • Queue Definitions and Statistics

    Definition and statistical information is available for all monitored queues, including the dead-letter queue.

  • Channel Definitions and Performance Data

    Definition and performance data is available for all monitored CICS®, APPC, and TCP/IP channels.

  • MQSeries® Events

    IBM MQ Monitoring agent provides detailed information about events (that is, exceptions) occurring in the queue managers and the channels. Event information is retrieved from the local event queues on the systems that you are monitoring. The information can originate either on that system or on a remote IBM MQ (WebSphere MQ) system whose events you are routing to a monitored, local event queue.

  • MQ Applications

    Application Statistics data and trace debugging are available for z/OS applications, CICS transactions, and IMS™ programs using IBM MQ (WebSphere MQ).

For all of these MQ components you can gather information about current activity as well as recent historical data.
