CHANNEL_STATUS
dataType = CHANNEL_STATUS
| Property | Value | Alert | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| CHANNEL | String Value | NA | The is the name of the channel to filter the status values on. |
| STATUS | INACTIVE | Good | The channel state is not in error however it is not currently running. |
| STATUS | RUNNING | Good | The channel is in a good running state |
| STATUS | STARTING | Warn | The channel is currently starting. This is a transient state. |
| STATUS | STOPPING | Warn | The channel is currently stopping. This is a transient state. |
| STATUS | STOPPED | Warn | The channel is currently stopped. This should be considered an error state however administrators may STOP a channel during change activity. |
| STATUS | REQUESTING | Warn | The channel is currently requesting. This is a transient state for Requester channels. |
| STATUS | INITIALIZING | Warn | The channel is currently initializing. This is a transient state for Requester channels. |
| STATUS | SWITCHING | Warn | The channel is currently switching. This is a transient state. |
| STATUS | BINDING | Warn Critical | The channel is currently binding and trying to connect to the remote end. Binding is a transient state however it should be considered an error if this state lasts for more than a few minutes. Some in error channels can get stuck in a binding state. |
| STATUS | RETRYING | Critical | The channel is currently retrying and trying to connect to the remote end. Retrying should be considered an error state. |
| STATUS | PAUSED | Critical | The channel is currently paused. This is a transient state however it should be considered an error if this state lasts for more than a few minutes. |
| STATUS | DISCONNECTED | Critical | The channel is currently disconnected. This is a transient state however it should be considered an error if this state lasts for more than a few minutes. |
| CONNS | integer value | < expected | This is the number of active connections made to the SVRCONN channel. If you expect this value to be 100 for instance then alerts should be set if this value drops below 100. |
QUEUE_STATUS
dataType = QUEUE_STATUS
| Property | Value | Alert | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| QUEUE | String Value | NA | The is the name of the queue to filter the status values on. |
| OPPROCS | < 1 | Warn | This is the number of handles that are currently open for output for the queue. |
| IPPROCS | < 1 | Warn | The number of handles/connections that are currently open for input for the queue (either input-shared or input-exclusive). This number does not include handles that are open for browse. |
| CURDEPTH | > 50 | Warn | The current depth of the queue, that is, the number of messages on the queue, including both committed messages and uncommitted messages. |
| CURDEPTH | > 100 | Critical | The current depth of the queue, that is, the number of messages on the queue, including both committed messages and uncommitted messages. |
| lastGetIntervalSecs | > 5 | Warn | This gives the relative number of seconds since the last get was performed on the queue. The number of seconds is calculated from; (Current System time - Last Get Time) = interval A value of -1 means the metric is invalid |
| lastGetIntervalSecs | > 10 | Critical | This gives the relative number of seconds since the last Get was performed on the queue. The number of seconds is calculated from; (Current System time - Last Get Time) = interval A value of -1 means the metric is invalid |
| lastPutIntervalSecs | > 5 | Warn | This gives the relative number of seconds since the last Put was performed on the queue. The number of seconds is calculated from; (Current System time - Last Put Time) = interval A value of -1 means the metric is invalid |
| lastPutIntervalSecs | > 10 | Critical | This gives the relative number of seconds since the last Put was performed on the queue. The number of seconds is calculated from; (Current System time - Last Put Time) = interval A value of -1 means the metric is invalid |
| MSGAGE | > 5 | Warn | Age, in seconds, of the oldest message on the queue. The maximum displayable value is 999999999; if the age exceeds this value, 999999999 is displayed. |
SUBSCRIPTION_STATUS
dataType = SUBSCRIPTION_STATUS
| Property | Value | Alert | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| CURDEPTH | > 50 | Warn | The current depth of the base subscriber queue, that is, the number of messages on the queue, including both committed messages and uncommitted messages. |
| CURDEPTH | > 100 | Critical | The current depth of the base subscriber queue, that is, the number of messages on the queue, including both committed messages and uncommitted messages. |
| lastMsgIntervalSecs | > 5 | Warn | This gives the relative number of seconds since the last message was sent to the suscriber. The number of seconds is calculated from; (Current System time - Last Message Time) = interval A value of -1 means the metric is invalid |
| lastMsgIntervalSecs | > 10 | Critical | This gives the relative number of seconds since the last message was sent to the suscriber. The number of seconds is calculated from; (Current System time - Last Message Time) = interval A value of -1 means the metric is invalid |
PUBSUB_STATUS
dataType = PUBSUB_STATUS
| Property | Value | Alert | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| STATUS | ERROR | Critical | The publish/subscribe engine has failed. Check your error logs to determine the reason for the failure. |
| STATUS | REFUSED | Critical | The connection has been refused by the parent queue manager. This might be caused by the following:
|
| STATUS | STOPPING | Warn | The publish/subscribe engine is stopping. |
| STATUS | INACTIVE | Warn | The publish/subscribe engine and the queued publish/subscribe interface are not running. It is therefore not possible to publish or subscribe using the application programming interface. Any publish/subscribe messages that are put to the queues that are monitored by the queued publish/subscribe interface are not acted upon by WebSphere MQ. |
| STATUS | STARTING | Warn | The publish/subscribe engine is initializing and is not yet operational. If the queue manager is a member of a cluster, that is, it has at least one CLUSRCVR defined, it remains in this state until the cluster cache is available. On WebSphere MQ for z/OS, this requires that the Channel Initiator is running. |
| STATUS | COMPAT | Good | The publish/subscribe engine is running. It is therefore possible to publish or subscribe by using the application programming interface. The queued publish/subscribe interface is not running. Therefore, any message that is put to the queues that are monitored by the queued publish/subscribe interface are not acted upon by WebSphere MQ. |
| STATUS | ACTIVE | Good | The publish/subscribe engine and the queued publish/subscribe interface are running. It is therefore possible to publish or subscribe using the application programming interface and the queues that are monitored by the queued publish/subscribe interface. |
QMGR_STATUS
dataType = QMGR_STATUS
| Property | Value | Alert | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| STATUS | STOPPED | Critical | The queue manager is not running or cannot be contacted.
