Here is a list of ActiveMQ Resources in a self-service enabled Nodinite Monitor View.

Note
Stockpiling messages leads to failures and delays. With Nodinite, you get real-time insights and powerful tools to keep your system running smoothly, securely, and efficiently.

Monitoring Features

The Agent monitors the following resources:

ActiveMQ Brokers
The server(s) and core services
ActiveMQ Queues
- Age verification (warning/error) - Set the maximum allowed age for messages on the queue
- Count (warning/error) - Set the maximum allowed message count on the queue

You can individually fine-tune the Monitoring thresholds per queue.

Actions

A User with access rights to a Monitor View with ActiveMQ Queues where Actions are allowed can perform the following Actions:

Edit thresholds
List Messages on queue
- Repair/View message
- Download individual messages from the queue with the encoding option
- Download selected messages in a ZIP file (with the encoding option)
- Delete one or more messages from the queue

Edit Thresholds

The Monitoring thresholds are global or specific. Whenever you set a value on a queue, it becomes a specific configuration. This configuration applies only to this queue, regardless of settings for other queues.

You can either use the global settings for the queue using Remote Configuration, or you can individually set different thresholds for different queues.

Warning
When you opt to save, the Resource changes to a "Specific ActiveMQ Queue" (may impact your Monitor Views depending on filter).

List messages on the queue

From within the 'List messages on the queue' modal, a paged list of messages currently on the queue is displayed. The messages displays with evaluation according to the monitoring thresholds (either global or specific).
