Hi All,
In my present account, the client is very particular about the no. of messages (cause of importance of those messages) which are flowing through the local queues., they wanted us to keep the track of it and they can ask for that information any time. Is there any utility which can be used to provide historical data about that queue? Suggestions are welcome.
Websphere MQv6.0.2.8 (they have been using outdated version with extended vendor support and now planning to upgrade those to latest version of MQ., on aix, windows, linux, solaris servers)
Thanks.

You can not ask for yesterday's data.
You can only store today's data so that you can ask for it tomorrow. |

I agree.
What about the statistics (not the yesterday's message/data) ? I believe statistics & monitoring needs to be set on it. (at least to share the count of messages flown through it, put/get in irregular intervals.) (Which is not ON at present).

The minimum you can get away with is something that will run reset qstats every X interval of time for each queue and save that data somewhere.
The rest of it is useful, but the more acct&stats you add, the more you start wanting to purchase a real monitoring tool to save and store this. |

WE currently have to do similar, so use Statistics and it gives us what we need.
The STATQ is set to ON at QMGR level with collection every 300 seconds at the moment. At the end of the day amqsmon is ran against the stats queue via cron to read off all the messages and puts it into a spreadsheet for us which gives a nice breakdown of PUT / GET / SIZE from local queues.
On other accounts I support we use Omegamon which also gives information required but for this particular account there is no option for commerical product. |

| Rammer - does that involve any custom code/script? Would be willing to share it? |

For me yes you can have it, but the programmer has compiled it so when I see him I will have to ask him about it |
