The overview table lists the queue managers. You can filter this list by clicking Monitored Queue Managers, Unmonitored Queue Managers, or All Queue Managers. Selecting the option button in a row containing a queue manager populates the graphs of key metrics. At the bottom of the view is a table of alarms for the cluster.
Queue Managers Table
 
Description of the View
Data displayed
•
Queue Manager Name. Contains the name of the queue manager.
 
•
Alarms. The numbers of fatal, critical, and warning alarms for this queue manager. 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.
 
•
Host Name. The name of the computer that is hosting the queue manager. If your monitoring environment includes the Cartridge for Infrastructure, you can click the host name to drill down to the host health details. Hovering over this field shows a dwell listing the Health, Alarms, CPU, Memory, Disk, and Network metrics for this host. This allows you to quickly determine if the alarm is related to the OS, or another source on the host.
 
•
Repository Type. The type of repository: full or partial. For definitions and setup information, see the IBM WebSphere MQ Server documentation.
 
•
Status. The running state of the queue manager. Click an entry to open a dwell with a graph view, representing the queue manager’s availability over time. Zero ‘0’ indicates that the queue manager is unavailable, and one ‘1’ indicates that the queue manager is available.
