Continuing with the trend of blogging about features supported by Applications Manager, this post will focus on IBM WebSphere MQ monitoring. This feature is one of the key upgrades that were undertaken for the 8.3 release and was also one of the popular demands from our customers.

Similar to Silverstream and GlassFish server, Applications Manager can now monitor the performance and availability of IBM WebSphere MQ series. The user can monitor WebSphere’s:

  • Channel status,
  • Listener stats
  • Queue’s health and
  • Percentange of queue’s occupied and its depth

In addition, the user can also monitor open input count, and open output count from Queue monitoring statistics. The user can also compare the percentage of queue against time, and compare each channel’s bytes sent vs time. Alerts and reports can be generated for WebSphere MQ series and as always it is supported out-of-the-box.Some of the screenshots given below shows the various performance metrics that are monitored:
