Verifying the broker configuration

This scenario describes how you can use the WebSphere® Message Broker Monitoring Agent to verify that the broker configuration matches your configuration as depicted in the Message Brokers Toolkit.

After you have configured the WebSphere Message Broker Monitoring Agent, start the agent so that the necessary statistics can be gathered, and then perform the following steps:

  1. Examine the various informational workspaces, such as Execution Group Status/Execution Group Information, Message Flow Status/Message Flow Information, Message Processing Nodes/Message Processing Node Information, Neighbors, Subscriptions, Retained Publications, and ACL Entries. These workspaces contain data from the broker perspective as opposed to the Message Brokers Toolkit perspective.
  2. Compare the data in the workspaces with what you expect to determine whether the correct configuration is deployed to the broker.
