eG Monitoring

Measures reported by WsMqChannelTest This test connects to a WebSphere MQ server, auto-discovers the channels that have been configured for this server, and monitors the status of each of these channels. The measures made by this test are as follows:
Measurement | Description | Measurement Unit | Interpretation
--- | --- | --- | ---
Channel_status | Reports the current status of this channel. | Percent | A value of 100% signifies that the channel is available for clients to connect to. A value of 0% indicates channel unavailability.
Availability | Reports the current availability of this channel. | Percent | A value of 100% signifies that the channel is available for clients to connect to. A value of 0% indicates channel unavailability.
Current_messages | The number of messages being currently handled by this channel. | Number | A continuous increase of this value signifies that the receiver is not able to cope up with the incoming traffic.
Messages_handled | The number of messages that transmitted through this channel during the last measurement period. | Number |
Buffers_received | The number of buffers of data received over this channel during the last measurement period. | Number | This metric indicates the workload over a channel.
Buffers_sent | Indicates the number of buffers of data transmitted over the channel during the last measurement period. | Number | This metric indicates the workload over a channel.
Data_received | Indicates the rate at which data is received over the channel during the last measurement period. | KB/sec |
Data_sent | Indicates the rate at which data is transmitted over this channel during the last measurement period. | KB/sec |
Time_since_last_msg | Reflects the time that has elapsed since the last message was transmitted over this channel. | Secs | If an unusually long time has elapsed since when the last message was transmitted, it could reflect an error in the application (e.g., a hung application that is no longer transmitting messages over the channel).
Channel_status | Reports the current state of this channel. |  | The table below indicates the values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric equivalents:
Numeric Value | Measure Value
0 | Running
1 | Requesting
2 | Binding
3 | Starting
4 | Initializing
5 | Inactive
6 | Paused
7 | Retrying
8 | Stopping
9 | Stopped
Note: By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating the current status of the channel. However, in the graph of this measure, the channel states will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents as mentioned in the table above.
