Statistics message generation

Statistics messages are generated at configured intervals, and when a queue manager shuts down in a controlled fashion.

The configured interval is controlled by the STATINT queue manager attribute, which specifies the interval, in seconds, between the generation of statistics messages. The default statistics interval is 1800 seconds (30 minutes). To change the statistics interval, use the MQSC command ALTER QMGR and specify the STATINT parameter. For example, to change the statistics interval to 900 seconds (15 minutes) use the following MQSC command:


ALTER QMGR STATINT(900)

To write the currently collected statistics data to the statistics queue before the statistics collection interval is due to expire, use the MQSC command RESET QMGR TYPE(STATISTICS). Issuing this command causes the collected statistics data to be written to the statistics queue and a new statistics data collection interval to begin.
