WebSphere MQ

[GijsbertVanOeveren]

Hello KS-Soft,

Are there any plans to be able to monitor WebSphere MQ items with KS-Monitor, such as QueueManager status, queue depth, channel status, etc?

If any other workaround, by means of scripting is available, I would like to hear about that to.

We are working with both WebSphere MQ 5.3 and 6.0.

Kind regards,

Gijsbert

Truth to say, we do not have "cooked" monitoring solution for WebSphere MQ. To monitor WebSphere MQ on windows, you may use "Active script" test method, that allows you to create a script to query MQQueueManager objects (and other objects like MQClntConnChannel, MQClusterReceiverChannel, MQClusterSenderChannel, MQReceiverChannel, MQRequesterChannel, etc) using ADSI.

For the WebSphere, hosted on *nix machines, you may install Remote Monitoring Agent (RMA) on the particular unix machine and use "Shell Script test" method to run specific scripts directly. http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/rma-unix/index.htm
RMA for unix are available for Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, AIX, HP-UX, QNX and MacOS.

Hi Max,

Thanks for your answer.

One thing though: the URL happens to get me nowhere. I get a 404 on this one. Can you supply me with the correct URL?

Kind regards,

Gijsbert
