Hi All

Is there any supportpac or application I can use to monitor / trace a queue. Basically would require all messages with time stamp logged that have been put/get to a particular queue for that day.


I have looked at MQ queue accounting / statistics but it doesn't provide what I'm after. We also run Qflex which I believe has some sort of queue reporting, but it is failing when running a report (OOM error)

Thanks in advance.

btw MQ 7.0 on Windows

How much additional data do you need to have logged with the time stamp? Is this data in the MQMD or in the payload, and if in the payload is any parsing required to obtain it (for example, is the message XML or JSON, determining which of a set of fixed format messages is being logged, etc)

Where do you want to log this? Text file, database, SNMP trap, ..., ?

Why not? I mean clearly you're looking for something message level not rolled up statistics but why are you logging it at the queue manager? What is the purpose here and what use is the information going to be put to?

As an example, if you're just trying to demonstrate that a given message arrived you could use a COD/COA message rather than this (with all the caveats and disadvantages discussed many times on this forum). If you wanted to know how many messages were going through a queue or queues, you wouldn't have discounted statistics messages.

Better information, better advice.

Also, you'll need to revisit your use of MQ 7.0.0.x. Lack of support and lack of possibly significant features. And much worse performance than MQ v8.
