Foglight for IBM WebSphere MQ 5.5.5.9 - User and Reference Guide

Long Name. Contains the name and type of the object instance against which the alarms is raised. Hovering over this field shows a dwell with additional information about this object instance.

Health. Indicates the object health, based one the highest severity alarm. Hovering over this field shows a dwell listing the most recent alarms for this queue.

Alarms. Indicates the numbers of fatal, critical, and warning alarms for each object instance. Hovering over a severity column opens a dwell containing a list of the alarms of that severity, raised against this queue manager. For more information about alarms, see the Foglight User Guide.

Health History. Indicates the object health, based on the highest severity alarm. Hovering over this field opens a dwell containing information about the most recent alarm for this object instance.

Drill down on any Long Name to opens a dwell with detailed views about the selected object instance, links to those views, and any additional information about the selected object instance. For example, clicking an MQQueueManager object opens a dwell containing a link that drills down to the Queues Tab View, the event status for the queue manager, and a graph view showing the depths of the DLQ and connection count for the selected queue manager.

Drill down on any Health icon to open a dwell listing the alarm sources for the selected object instance, and links to views that show all alarm sources, the alarms raised against that object, and all outstanding alarms.

Drill down on any Alarms count to open the Outstanding Alarms dialog box, containing a list of outstanding alarms associated with this queue manager.

Count Per Second. Contains the number of messages per second, sent and received on the WebSphere MQ client link over the connection to a specific client.

Buffers Received. Contains the number of buffers received on the channel per second.

Buffers Sent. Contains the number of buffers sent on the channel per second.

Bytes Received. Contains the number of bytes received on the channel per second.

Bytes Sent. Contains the number of bytes sent on the channel per second.

Health. The channel health, based on the highest severity alarm. Hover over the icon to open a dwell listing the most recent alarms for this queue.

Name. The channel name.

Type. The channel type. A channel can be of one of the following types:
Cluster-receiver. Receives information about the cluster.
Cluster-sender. Sends cluster information to a queue manager.
Receiver. Places the messages into the destination queue.
Requester. Starts the channel.
Sender. Starts the channel so that it can send messages to the other system. The sender requests the receiver at the other end of the channel to start, and sends messages from its transmission queue to the receiver.
Server. Sends messages to the requester from the transmission queue defined in its channel definition.
Server-connection. A bidirectional channel that connects an MQ client to a server, on the server-side.

Status. The status of the channel associated with this queue. It can have one of the following values:
Binding. Channel is performing channel negotiation and is not yet ready to transfer messages.
Initializing. The channel initiator is attempting to start a channel.
Indoubt (Yes). The sending MCA is waiting for a confirmation that a batch of messages that it has sent has been successfully received.
Paused. The channel is paused.
Starting. A request has been made to start the channel but the channel has not yet begun processing. A channel is in this state if it is waiting to become active.
Stopped. The channel is stopped manually.
Stopping. Channel is stopping or a close request has been received.
Requesting. A local requester channel is requesting services from a remote message channel agent (MCA).
Retrying. A previous attempt to establish a connection has failed. The connection is attempted after the specified time interval.
Running. The channel is either transferring messages at this moment, or is waiting for messages to arrive on the transmission queue so that they can be transferred.
Unavailable. No status is available for this channel. The channel is not operating.

Current. The number of messages on the channel in the current batch.

Count/Sec.The rate (count per second) of messages travelling on this channel during the sample period.

Session Total. The number of messages on the channel during the channel active period.

Buffers. The number of buffers sent on the channel.

Bytes. The number of bytes sent on the channel.

Buffers. The number of buffers received on the channel.

Bytes. The number of bytes received on the channel.

Clusters Name. The names of any clusters that this channel is a part of.

Performance. The availability of performance events (Enabled or Disabled). Performance events are generated when the queue manager detects a change that is likely to impact the performance of an application. For example, when a queue depth limit is reached, the queue manager generates a performance event message.

Start/Stop. The availability of start and stop events (Enabled or Disabled). Start and stop events are generated when a queue manager is started or is requested to stop.

Inhibit. The availability of inhibit type of events (Enabled or Disabled). These types of events are generated when a read or write operation has been attempted against a queue that is inhibited for those types of operations.

Local. The availability of local events (Enabled or Disabled). Local events are generated when a local queue or object is not accessible.

Authority. The availability of authority events (Enabled or Disabled). Authority events are generated to report an authorization related to queue-related activities, for example, when an application attempts to open a queue.

Remote. The availability of remote events (Enabled or Disabled). Remote events are generated when an application or the queue manager cannot access a remote queue on another queue manager.

Auto-Definition. The availability of auto-definition events (Enabled or Disabled). Auto-definition events are generated when a channel is automatically generated for a queue manager.

Command Queue. The name of the system command queue. This queue receives system commands that are executed by the queue manager.

Dead Letter Queue. The name of the dead-letter queue. This queue contains undeliverable messages.
