This is a follow on from

As per Kimbert's suggestion, I have been 'experimenting' with them.

I quickly realised that to get anything out of the broker with the -x -p options on mqsiflowmonitoring command, you have to specifically configure monitoring events on a flow and deploy it. I used the sample HTTP & SOAP flows to gather this data.
Ok. that is not too bad. Luckily in our setup all the SOAP Inputs are done by a generic SubFlow. This means that one profile for all those nodes is possible.

The downside is that the output XML can't be used as a generic monitoring profile as the events take the names of the nodes in the flow rather than the node type.
So all of our HTTP & MQ based flows will have to have specific profiles.
If this is done by Configurable Service then that is only another 30 or so on top of the current 80+, mostly SAP services already being used.
I guess I will be writitng a script to parse the .msgflow files to get the input node names and create a flow specific profile automatically.

Oh, and 6.1.0.3 on Solaris, the mqsireportflowmonitoring ... -x -p command crashes if there is no profile loaded.[/url]

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