We want to put in place alerts for queue depths on all application queues.

There are currently a number of specific queues where we have set up a queue depth to look for for that queue or group of queues using a scan of the name.

I would like to set it up so all queues are monitored for a queue depth that is critical for the application.

I want to avoid creating thousands of situations to be administrated.

This may one of a few depths 10 50 100 500 1000.

So we want some queues to alert at 10 others not to alert to 50 etc and we don't want a second alert at 50 if its a queu that alerts at 10.

My first thought was to have a situation that fires when the queue depth reaches 10 and within that situation list all queues that we want alerting for a queue depth of 10.

However there are 1000s of queues and the formula capacity quickly fills up so this does not seem like a workable method.

The other way I thought was to put a string in the queue description !ALERT10! that could be scanned for.

This seems a bit convoluted so I am thinking I must be missing something and there is an easier way.

I am sure others must have had this issue.
