| Are there any tools by which you can monitor the Queues on Solaris? I need to know when messages are flowing into my queue? Thanks. |

Sam,
For products like this, you are typically going to have to pay money. contact admin and MQSoftware both make good monitoring tools, and I've also used Candle's, but found the user interface harder to use. There are other products, but I have no direct experience with those. You can also use MQExplorer (comes with MQSeries for NT) to connect to the Solaris queue manager and see what is going on. However this requires human intervention whereas the other products actually monitor things and alert you when things go wrong.

Brandon,
Thanks for the reply. The only other question I had was,can I look at how many messages are being put on the Queue as opposed to actually monitoring it. Also are there some tools available for this which are free? Thanks. |

Sam,
Yes, you can look at how many messages are being put on the queue. When you say "how many messages are being put on the queue" this can either mean the depth of the queue at any point in time, or the rate at which messages are being put to the queue. I'm not sure which you are interested in, but MQSeries allows you to monitor both. There are three ways to do this. Using the MQI API, you can issue an MQINQ command to look at the attributes of a queue (or any other MQ object for that matter). There is a perl program in the software repository that illustrates how to do this.
The second way is to use the PCF interface, which allows you to communicate directly with the queue manager, issuing commands in much the same way you would do in runmqsc.
The third way is to use a scripting language like perl to execute runmqsc and issue commands directly. The answers can be parsed, and stored in a file, database, etc., from which you can glean useful statistics. I've written an cluster monitoring tool that will appear in an upcoming issue of xephon's MQUpdate journal, so you'll have to wait until then if you want to see the source code...

| Thanks for the input. Where can I find the source code for the PERL Script in the first case? What is this PCF Interface? Is this available free with MQSeries? Appreciate your ideas. |
