Enabling instrumentation events

This topic explains how to enable IBM MQ instrumentation events for z/OS queue managers and distributed queue managers (if applicable) so that 

BMC AMI Ops Automation for MQ

 can listen for and automate responses to these events.

You must manually enable instrumentation events for:

  • All distributed queue managers
  • z/OS queue managers if you do not choose to set MQEV= to one of the available options (Y, S, L, I, P, R, F, M, C, V, B, X)

Enabling instrumentation events for distributed queue managers

There are ten types of distributed instrumentation events, all of which can be enabled and disabled:

  • Authority
  • Channel Auto-definition
  • Channel
  • Inhibit
  • Local
  • Logger
  • Performance
  • Remote
  • Start/Stop
  • SSL

These events are queued to instrumentation queues with finite capacities. BMC AMI Ops Automation for MQ provides a set of solutions to help you manage these queues. For more information, refer to:

For more information about enabling or disabling these events, see the IBM documentation MQ Event Monitoring.
