Do you mean open source, or free to use?

MO71 has monitoring options.

Why would someone produce open source tools for a proprietary product?

That's not sufficient a requirement to distinguish between the tools.

Any open source tool that can monitor whether a process exists,and can tail the contents of a log file can be said to "monitor MQ".

You can monitor MQ through Nagios using scripts/modules.

Don't know about the best one. Our client is currently using a commercially packaged version of Nagios.

I'd be very interested to hear about people's experiences with other tools.

Why not?
I've been working with Tivoli/Omegamon, IBM's own product, which was somewhat of a disappointment. A lot of missing features, high price and a complicated setup.

Nagios is also popular here. It is very flexible and cover a lot of products/systems, not only MQ

this is infact a good question, when it comes to the decision , i am getting a lot of questions on here.

where i worked more on tivoli (my first crush) and BMC petrol.

So always point to these....doesn't have a good comparison document or
Pros and cons details where i can look in to.
