Well, you can ask a qmgr which applications are connected to it.
And you can do things to secure the qmgr to prevent unauthorized applications from connecting to it.
But good configuration management is not replaced by good security infrastructure. You need both, is what I mean.

qmgr shows which applications are connected to it at that time.
I used this example (amqsputc QUEUE1 qmgr) and once amqsputc program completed qmgr does not show any info for that application.
Well, in other words does MQ Server keep histroy (e.g. which MQ Client, MQ Server or application communicated to this MQ Server)?
And which MQ Client or Server are allowed to communicate to this MQ Server?
Thanks in advance. |

You can do things to ensure that only machines and users with the correct certificates are able to connect, yes.

You can get "some" history by looking at the MQlogs. But they get overwritten...so you would need to have some daemon running that would archive them as soon as a new instance gets created...
And as I said it is some history... It will tell you which channel is started/stopped and when. It will not tell you who did what...
If you want that kind of history you need to run with linear logs and have a program that analyses them.
Non persistent messages will not make these logs either...
Best way to a FULL audit log is to have sending and receiving applications create a full log.
Enjoy
