check the monitoring settings of the queuemanager and the queues and do some rtfm.

Of all the ETLA's, this one is my favorite.

Turn on queue monitoring, which can be done at the queue level (or at the QM level).
I've just had a play with this. The stats only seem to appear on MQ Explorer rather than the ISPF panels.
You can turn on monitoring via ISPF though. |

the stats appear on the mq ispf panels if you use "qlocal". if you use "queue" for display you will not see them.

What's the view on the overhead of queue monitoring?
Would it be expensive (in MIPS terms) to turn it on system wide with the Low overhead setting as the default? |

Unlike midrange platforms, with all the horsepower and other resources of a mainframe, "overhead" is near zero. The same is true for SMF statistics and accounting recording.

Are there any IBM reports that confirm the overhead on z/OS before I put my life on the line?  |

Thanks for all the response. I did find the QLocal parameters and QMGR parameters and have turned monitoring on Low (refresh every 30 min?) at the QMGR level testing. I do see the LPUT/LGET DATE/TIME objects getting updated. Now I need to write a CICS Cobol Inquiry to be able to display the status on a User written CICS screen. I do see the values in the using the MQSC DIS QS command but do not know if this can be done from a Cobol/CICS program?
-------------- Command Results: RETURN=00000000, REASON=00000000 -------------
CSQM441I +CSQT QSTATUS(TEST.BSMITH.INBOUND ) TYPE(Q
UEUE ) OPPROCS( 1) IPPROCS( 0) CURDEPTH( 22) UNCOM(N
O ) MONQ(LOW ) QTIME( 53646472, 53519152) MSGAGE( 671482) LPU
TDATE(2008-03-20 ) LPUTTIME(08.19.06) LGETDATE(2008-03-12 ) LGETTIME(15.45.05
) QSGDISP(QMGR )

You can send an MQSC command to the Command Queue. That is, just a MQFMT_STRING message containing "DIS QS(*)" or whatever.

in addition, the message must be of the type request and you have to supply a replytoq for the answer.
with mqv6, you could also use pcf commands. theres a manual for that.

IBM will need to respond to this specific request.
There are tools (SMF/RMF) on the mainframe to monitor and report on application and system behavior - in this case, the overhead of MQ monitoring. You could develop a benchmark application, run it with monitoring off, run it with monitoring on, then compare the results. This is a common behavior for capacity planning; and it's a well-proven and regular event on the mainframe.
