Resolving problems when you monitor message flows
Follow the advice for dealing with common problems that can arise when you are monitoring WebSphere® Message Broker flows.
You are not receiving monitoring events from WebSphere Message Broker
- Scenario: You are not receiving monitoring events from WebSphere Message Broker.
- Explanation: You can configure WebSphere Message Broker flows to emit event messages. These messages can be used to support transaction monitoring and business monitoring. The events that are published by WebSphere Message Broker can be written to a transaction repository, creating an audit trail of the transactions that are processed by a broker. You can also use WebSphere Business Monitor to monitor events. To receive monitoring events, you must configure and enable event sources, activate monitoring, and subscribe to the topic for the flow.
- Solution: If you are not receiving monitoring events,
check that the following resources are configured correctly.
- Check that event sources are configured on the flow by using monitoring properties or a monitoring profile. For more information, see Deciding how to configure monitoring events for message flows.
- Check that event sources are enabled by setting the -i parameter on the mqsichangeflowmonitoring command. For more information, see Enabling and disabling event sources.
- Check that monitoring is activated for the flow by setting the -c parameter on the mqsichangeflowmonitoring command. For more information, see Activating monitoring.
- Check that you have subscribed to the topic for the
flow. For example:
$SYS/Broker/brokerName/Monitoring/executionGroupName/flowName
- If you are writing events to a transaction repository,
complete the following extra checks.
- Check that events are configured for your transactions.
- Check that you have subscribed to the event topic and written
events to a repository.
For more information, see Monitoring scenarios.
- If you are using WebSphere Business
Monitor to
monitor events, complete the following extra checks.
- Check that WebSphere Business Monitor is installed, and that a monitor server is created and started. For more information, see IBM® WebSphere Business Process Management Version 7.0 Information Center.
- Check that the WebSphere Business Monitor sample has been imported and deployed. For more information, see WebSphere Business Monitor.
- Check that the monitoring model application and message-driven bean (MDB) are installed and configured. For more information, see Running the WebSphere Business Monitor sample.
- To report monitoring settings, use the mqsireportflowmonitoring command. For more information, see mqsireportflowmonitoring command.
