Telemetry (MQXR) service

The telemetry (MQXR) service is a TCP/IP listener, that is managed as an IBM® MQ service. Create the service using an IBM MQ Explorer wizard, or with a runmqsc command.

The MQ Telemetry (MQXR) service is called SYSTEM.MQXR.SERVICE .

The Telemetry sample configuration wizard, provided in the MQ Telemetry function for IBM MQ Explorer, creates the telemetry service and a sample telemetry channel; see Verifying the installation of MQ Telemetry by using IBM MQ Explorer .

Create the sample configuration from the command line; see Verifying the installation of MQ Telemetry using the command line.

The telemetry (MQXR) service starts and stops automatically with the queue manager. Control the service using the services folder in IBM MQ Explorer. To see the service, you must click the icon to stop IBM MQ Explorer filtering out SYSTEM objects from the display.

From IBM MQ 9.2.4 onwards, Creating the SYSTEM.MQXR.SERVICE on Linux, and Creating the SYSTEM.MQXR.SERVICE on Windows are updated to specify the default key to require passphrases for MQTT TLS channels to be encrypted. For more information, see Encryption of passphrases for MQTT TLS channels.
