Do you mean the values for BackCount, ExpiredMsgCount and PurgeCount? These may give a hint, but they aren't queue specific.

But now I have two new questions:

1. Are expired messages successful destructive get requests?

2. Are purged messages successful destructive get requests?

So do these increase the GetFailCount or the GetCount or none of them?

Metrics offered by the OP are insufficient for adequate diagnostics. Similarly, only a car engine RPM, or oil temp, or oil pressure, or speed, or water temp, or ... any single metric at a given instance does not provide context.

Purged or expired messages are neither successful nor failed MQGET's and wouldn't update either MQGET counter.
Imagine you were to purge a queue, then put a message with a short expiry time, and to issue an MQGET after the message had expired.
You would see one failed MQGET, and that MQGET would have completed with a 2033.

Note also that the purged counter is a count of the number of purges, not a count of the number of messages purged.

So, to be a bit more precise, you're referring to the MQCO_DELETE_PURGE close queue option, yes?

No, MQCO_DELETE_PURGE relates to closing a dynamic queue, and will only update the appropriate MQCLOSE statistics.

By "purge" I'm referring to the CLEAR QL command.

... which would imply that GetCount would include those messages "purged" by using the MQExplorer clear qlocal option to do so via MQGETs, yes?

Is it possible that other apps had the queue open, and were MQPUTting and MQGETting messages? Queue accounting data would be helpful.

I'm not sure I understand the question, maybe I'm showing my lack of knowledge where MQExplorer is concerned ?

Removing messages from a queue using MQGET is not equivalent to issuing a runmqsc CLEAR QL command. A CLEAR QL would fail if any locked messages existed, for example an in-tran MQPUT or an in-tran MQGET, while a simple destructive GET would be unaware of any such messages.
A CLEAR QL will also clean up the resources owned by the queue better than a simple sequence of MQGET's, for example a CLEAR QL will truncate the underlying file system object associated with the queue, where a simple sequence of MQGET's will not.

Andyh,

what's about "DELETE QL(...) PURGE"? Does this increase the PurgeCount and not affect the GetCount and GetFailCount - like "CLEAR QL(...)"?

If you delete the queue then how do you gets statistics on it?

In the case of a delete ql(...) purge then the "purge" is really just permission to delete the queue even if it's hosting messages. I don't believe this would make any change to the purge (as in CLEAR QL) counters.

In the case of stats written to the system topics then no further stats will be produced after the queue is deleted.
In the case of more traditional stats (controlled by the STATQ attributes) the statistics for a deleted queue should be included in the statistics messages written at the end of the interval in which the queue was deleted.

I don't know, how a "DELETE ... PURGE" internally works. I could hazard a guess, that a very last statistics record could be written, just before the queue disappears .
