Collecting data for the Queue Statistics workspace

By default, if the WebSphere® MQ Monitoring agent is running on a distributed system, several columns of the Queue Statistics workspace display zero. You must configure the WebSphere MQ Monitoring agent to collect the data that is displayed in these columns.

Before you begin

Before you make any changes to the monitoring file, read Collecting queue statistics data.

About this task

Perform this procedure to configure WebSphere MQ Monitoring agent to collect data for the following columns in the Queue Statistics workspace:

Highest Depth
Messages Put
Messages Put per Sec
Messages Read
Messages Read per Sec
Time to Full Queue (Secs)
Time to Zero Msgs (Secs)

Procedure

Open the monitoring file of the WebSphere MQ Monitoring agent. See Changing monitoring options for information about how to open the monitoring file on your operating system.
Set the STATISTICS monitoring option of the SET QUEUE command in the monitoring file to YES. For example, the following command sets the STATISTICS monitoring option for all queues on the queue manager QMGR to YES:
```
	SET QUEUE NAME(*) MGRNAME(QMGR) QDEFTYPE(PREDEFINED) STATISTICS(YES)
```
Restart the agent for the changes to take effect.
