| Hi, we are using multiple queue managers in linux box. We want to add more queue managers on the same linux server. Is there any way to pull out the system resources usage details or statistics to analyze the capacity planning before we add new queue managers. |

What tools do you use for capacity planning for other (non-MQ) apps on the Linux box?

We are only using Wily Introscope and executing linux commands to find the details |

This is a Linux question not an MQ one. Do whatever you do when you want to add more Apache / Tomcat / WAS / Oracle / DB2 / a.n.other software to an existing Linux server.

We normally look for CPU and memory utilization, hard disk and thread usage through Linux command. Not sure if these parameters are enough to decide the planning |

You may need to look at the various kernel parameters (shared memory, semaphores etc) depending upon what version of the Linux Kernel you are using.

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |

They should be enough for a rough estimate.
If you take measurements now, and then create a new qmgr, you should see an increase in resource utilization. If the new qmgr causes RAM usage to go up 10%, then you know approximately how much RAM another qmgr will use. Same with CPU. Same with disk.
Qmgr usage (number of messages, size of messages, number of mqgets, mqputs, will likely differ.
There are tools you can download and/or buy to help with with capacity planning.
