IT47564: Performance Monitoring Enhancements

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• This APAR delivers a new command named mqperfck which generates
  an HTML report containing performance metrics for the Queue
  manager and specified Queues or Sender Channels channels over a
  fixed time period.
  
  The report gives insight into workload patterns during times of
  performance sensitivity without the need to capture IBM MQ
  trace.
  It shows key system and queue manager metrics such as CPU load,
  as well as metrics for the object(s) under observation such as
  lock
  contention, MQI counts, channel status and network times.
  
  Use the report to review and compare workload between normal and
  problematic time periods or between performant and
  non-performant
  environments.
  
  For more information see the mqperfck (MQ performance check)
  topic
  in the IBM MQ documentation.
