ACE preferences

The IBM IIB/ACE Monitoring Extension can monitor configurations of IBM App Connect Enterprise (ACE) using the Administrative REST API and either MQ or MQTT for runtime statistics monitoring. ACE Integration Nodes and Standalone Integration Servers can be monitored.

These preferences define the ACE Administrative REST API that the extension will use for configuration monitoring. They are used in conjunction with either the MQTT-preferences or Broker Queue Manager preferences.

These preferences should be set using either the agentpref utility, or by defining a monitoring policy.
