Performance event statistics

The performance event data in the event message contains statistics about the event. Use the statistics to analyze the behavior of a specified queue.

The event data in the event message contains information about the event for system management programs. For all performance events, the event data contains the names of the queue manager and the queue associated with the event. The event data also contains statistics related to the event. Table 1 summarizes the event statistics that you can use to analyze the behavior of a queue. All the statistics refer to what has happened since the last time the statistics were reset.
