Collecting data for the Channel Performance and Channel Status workspace

By default, the values of some columns in the Channel Performance and Channel Status workspace are n/a or blank. If you want the values that are produced by the queue manager for real-time channel monitoring to be displayed in these workspaces, you must enable real-time monitoring for the channel at the queue manager.

You must have the required authorities for the MQSC commands.
Depending on the value of the MONCHL attribute of the channel, do one of the following things:
  • If the value is OFF, change its value to LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH by running the following MQSC command:
    ALTER CHANNEL(channel_name) MONCHL(collection_level)
    Where channel_name is the name of the channel and collection_level specifies the collection level of monitoring data for the channel. Here you can set it to LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH to suit the requirement of your environment.
  • If the value is QMGR, change the MONCHL attribute of its queue manager to LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH by running the following MQSC command:
    ALTER QMGR MONCHL(collection_level)
    Where collection_level specifies the collection level of monitoring data for the channels on the queue manager whose MONCHL attribute is set to QMGR. Here you can set it to LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH to suit the requirement of your environment.
You do not need to restart the queue manager for these changes to take effect.
