How do I grant my users access to IBM MQ monitoring?

This guide teaches how to configure Nodinite to use monitoring data from your IBM MQ Queue managers and let responsible users gain access using a Monitor View

Info

This guide assumes you have already successfully managed to install the agent and that you have one or more IBM MQ Queue managers deployed.

Example #1: Hello IBM MQ

This is a simple step-by-step guide on how to provide self-service for your users. This guide points to shared pages and is an illustration of how to get you started, in a real-world scenario most names entered may need to be changed to reflect your reality.

Info

You must be assigned the Administrators Role to perform the steps below.

Step 1: Create a Monitor View

First, follow the steps in the generic instructions on how to Add or manage Monitor View.

  1. Create and Name the Monitor View
  2. Assign user rights
  3. Select the Monitoring Agent Configuration that corresponds to your IBM MQ Monitoring agent
  4. Save the Monitor View (!)

Tip

If you add additional IBM MQ Queues they will automatically be discovered and depending on your filters in the Monitor View added to the list

Step 2: Manage your IBM MQ

Learn further how to enable, inhibit, Purge and get details for IBM MQ-related Resources in the Managing IBM MQ Monitoring user guide
