Hi Gurus,
I am looking some advice from MQ gurus regarding a good monotiring tool for Websphere MQ.
What I am looking for is:
alerting mechanism
historical data and easlity exportable
realtime moniroting in a single click. I mean, lets say, if we want to monitor all system.def.svrconn channel( 20 qmgrs), we should not have to go one by one, we can put them in a single page and look at them in one click. similar for queues and any other mq objects.
have some provision for adding /hooking home grown scirpt ( not necessary but is good to have)
I know this depends based on requirement. Our requirements is not much different form a standard mq shop. It is pretty much the same.
I have worked with BMC but do not have experiences of any other tools such as
Willy/Tivoli/Candle/Qpasa etc
sharing your experiences with a particular tool(s) is appreciated. |

Personally I have used and like QPasa. We set up a dash board with queues across multiple qmgrs and hosts. With one click to the "virtual" view you can see all the application relevant queues across the landscape....
You can then also set up your reports the same way which give you easy access to exporting them into an excel sheet (cut & paste will do)
Have fun

The best one is the one that your company will pay for.
The worst one is the one that you don't spend any time configuring to meet your needs. |

I am asking realistic experiences not a hypothesis/philosophy. My company is ready to pay for a good tool so I started looking for. Also, once any company buyes a product, in my understanding definitely they will get it working in its full potential. |

Wrong assumption. You need to poll the people who are going to USE/NEED the monitoring tool for their needs and input. You can then match to the tools, have a poc done with usability of the monitoring in view and finally decide which monitoring tool is BEST FOR YOU. You need to pay as much attention to the monitoring tools as you paid to the choosing of the broker/ESB solution.
Have fun

We are using Tivoli Omegamon XE. The tool provides all the details what you are looking for. The documentation is saying it will also provide historical data but never tried it. May be online chat with IBM Tivoli omegamon rep can answer all your questions.
Thanks. |
