Global Dead.letter.queue depth.

I am currently configuring custom alerts for IBM MQ Plugin,


I have over 200+ queue managers to monitor. Each would want to be alerted if dead,letter queue depth > 0.

Is there any way to do this globally on every queue manager? Rather than setting up a custom anomaly detection rule for every dead.letter queue on every queue.manager?

Is there any workaround to this? Seems like this is a common practice to alert if dead.letter queue depth > 0

Hi Michael,

Why not use one custom alert rule globally to alert on all individually? You don't have to set up one rule for each queue manager as far as I see that?

Best greetings,

Wolfgang

Unfortunately I do not think it's possible. in custom anomaly detection --> I can select one Deadletter queue per rule, There is no * feature that would be for all deadletter queues.

I also do not want a rule for all queues that having a depth > 1. I need a rule for all dead.letter queues with a depth > 1.

To add, the latest version of the MQ plugin also has a checkbox to auto-alert if the DLQ has any message thus making it optional. Previous versions would just auto-alert.

My company for security reasons does not use the standard system.dead.letter queue. Instead they use {queuemgr}.dead.letter. This creates a uniquely named dead.letter queue for each queue manager. One global rule would not apply unless you could do "*.dead.letter".
