Capabilities

Everything you need to monitor IBM MQ

Say goodbye to basic monitoring. Extract greater value and real-time insights from your MQ estate — affordably and efficiently.

  • AI MCP Server

    Query your IBM MQ metrics directly using AI assistants like Claude. Ask natural language questions about queue depth, channel status, and performance — no SQL, no dashboards.

    New

  • REST API

    Expose MQ metrics via a clean REST API returning JSON or XML responses. Plug directly into any monitoring tool, custom dashboard, or automation pipeline.

    JSON & XML

  • JMX Gateway

    Instruments MQ metrics and statistics as Java MBeans via standard JMX technology — enabling integration with any JMX-compatible monitoring platform.

    Java MBeans

  • Flexible logging

    Converts MQ metrics into structured XML or JSON log output, making it simple to ingest into Splunk, SolarWinds, AppDynamics, or any log aggregation system.

    Splunk ready

  • Secure connectivity

    Full SSL/TLS encryption and authentication including LDAPS support. Enterprise-grade security without the enterprise-grade complexity.

    SSL / LDAPS

  • Agentless & standalone

    Runs from a single central location and connects remotely to all your MQ systems. No database, no central management server, no complex infrastructure required.

    Zero footprint

How it works

Monitor your MQ estate in minutes

No expensive consulting. No specialised expertise required. Deploy Lamaxu from a central location and immediately gain visibility across every queue manager in your estate.

  1. Deploy the Java agent

    Install Lamaxu on a single central server. It requires no database and no management server — just a JVM and your MQ connection details.

  2. Connect to your queue managers

    Lamaxu connects remotely via SSL/TLS to one or many IBM MQ queue managers across AIX, Linux, Windows, z/OS, and iSeries.

  3. Stream metrics to your tools

    Metrics flow as JSON or XML to Splunk, SolarWinds, AppDynamics — or any JMX-compatible platform — in real time. No data gaps, no polling delays.

AI & MCP

Query your MQ data with Claude AI

The Lamaxu AI MCP Server lets you interrogate your IBM MQ estate using natural language through Claude and other AI assistants — no dashboards, no complex queries.

  • Natural language queries — Ask "Which queues have depth over 1000?" or "Show me channel errors from the last hour."

  • Connects to Claude Code & Claude.ai — Works via the Model Context Protocol, the open standard for AI tool integration.

  • Instant operational insights — Identify bottlenecks and anomalies in seconds, not hours of dashboard hunting.

Which queues have a depth over 500 right now?
Via Lamaxu, I can see 3 queues currently over 500:

• ORDER.INBOUND — 1,247 msgs
• PAYMENT.PROCESS — 892 msgs
• NOTIFY.OUTBOUND — 631 msgs

ORDER.INBOUND is approaching its max depth of 5,000. Want me to check the consuming channel status?
Yes — and check if any channels are stopped.
Channel TO.ORDER.PROCESSOR is in STOPPED state — that's causing the ORDER.INBOUND backlog. All other 13 channels are running normally.
