Hi all,
We're implementing WebSphere MQ here for a customer, and we want to be able to monitor it with Nagios - we already have almost 750 other services monitored with it, so it would be nice to be able to keep everything in one spot.
I've been trying to find different ways to monitor it. What I want to do ranges from basic checks from pinging the host, making sure we can open a connection to the MQ port, all the way to monitoring the status in very specific ways.
One of the methods I plan on using is the Windows event log - we have an automated process that dumps the event logs to flat text files, and then we're going to write some perl scripts that parse the event logs to look for errors and recovery.
I'm very new to MQSeries, so I wanted to find out if anyone else here monitors it with Nagios, and if you do, what types of checks have you implemented them? |

As far as I remember the Nagios is similar to BigBrother: you can call own scripts from the agent. In this case I recommend you to show:
- dspmq output
- simple script thru runmqsc (display chstatus, display qlocal, display qstatus)
If you need more complex informations, try the mq module for Perl http://search.cpan.org/~hbiersma/MQSeries-1.23/, you can find some sample code in repository on mqseries.net.

You need to write a plug-in to execute remotely. There is a generic plug-in called "nrpep" in Perl. I used it to report some key MQ information on Nagios. My Perl script uses MQSeries::Command perl module.
I have a peculiar problem with it. It works for my test queue manager but not production. It is something to do with the permissions but AFAICT the permissions are the same.
BTW, our MQ is running on Linux under z/VM on the mainframe.
If you or someone working with you is Perl aware, then this will work for you.
