WebSphere MQ Monitoring configuring

You have to first Install the WebSphere MQ Monitoring agent on the cluster node on which you want the agent to run.

Create new instances of the WebSphere MQ Monitoring agent for each queue manager that you want to monitor

Use of ITM_HOME/config directory

You have to Navigate to the ITM_HOME/config directory, where ITM_HOME is the directory where the IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring is installed.

The default directory is /opt/IBM/ITM.

Create a new configuration file for each instance of the WebSphere MQ Monitoring agent by copying the mq.cfg default configuration file to the hostname_mq_instance_name.cfg file,

Here the hostname is the host name of the cluster node and instance_name is the queue manager name.

Edit each of the newly created configuration files

Locate the SET MANAGER NAME parameter and change it

Set local variables

Create the directories where historical and situation data files are stored

Create the following directories for storing historical and situation data from each agent instance on the shared disk.
For storing historical data: disk_name/kmq/hist/instance_name
For storing situation data: disk_name/kmq/sit/instance_name

Create a link to the shared disk on which historical data is stored

Create a link to the shared disk on which agent data that is related to the queue manager is stored

Configure the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server to list agents running in cluster groups by cluster name instead of host system name in Tivoli Enterprise Portal:


Create a file containing the startup script that is used to start the agent


Create a file containing the shutdown script that is used to stop the agent:

Do the following steps to set the scripts that is used to start and stop the agent in the HACMP environment:
Open the cluster group in the HACMP cluster software.
Under Application Server, set the start script as kmq_start.sh.
Under Application Server, set the stop script as kmq_stop.sh.
