Using the IBM MQ Console

Use the IBM® MQ Console to perform common IBM MQ administration tasks.

For the full range of IBM MQ tasks, use the command line interface.

To start the IBM MQ Console:
  1. Connect to the IBM MQ Appliance web UI by entering the following URL:

    https://IP_Address:9090

    Where IP_Address specifies the IP address of the management Ethernet interface (you can determine the IP address of the management Ethernet interface by using the show int command).

    Note: This URL uses the default port value. If you changed the port value, replace the 9090 section of the URL with your port number.
  2. Click the MQ Console icon shows the MQ icon widget.
Note: The IBM MQ Console has different timeout behavior to the general IBM MQ Appliance web UI. Because the console can be used for monitoring IBM MQ, the console does not timeout. If you switch to the IBM MQ Appliance web UI, the timeout counter will start. This is set to 600 seconds by default, but can be set to a different value by using the idle-timeout command, see idle-timeout.
