MSMQ monitoring

[Winkle_Khurana]

Hi All,

 

Need assistance how can we monitor MSMQ objects from CA APM 10.2 using perfmon metrics of .Net agent.

While I was going through  below links:

PerfMonCollector Service Agent

 

Please let me know how can we monitor below mentioned objects and what would be our regular expression for filterPattern of perfmon for the below:

MSMQ Queue Object: Core Services

MSMQ Service Object: Core Services

MSMQ Session Object: Core Services

introscope.agent.perfmon.metric.filterPattern= ?

 

Regards,

Winkle

Hello Winkle,

 

At this time we do not have any out of the box monitoring for the same per I know. Maybe Hiko_Davis can help here.

You can do with either APM or UIM using PerfMon.

 

In the case of APM, It depends on the counters you want. Some are instance-based, like the queues.

So if I generally want all of the counters for queues, I'd do something like this:

 

|MSMQ Queue|*|*,|MSMQ Service|*

 

Remember to start each filter with a pipe "|" symbol.

Hi Haruhiko,

Thanks the above is working fine

 

Tried with the below  filter |MSMQ Service|*,|MSMQ Queue|*|*,|MSMQ Session|*,|MSMQ Outgoing Multicast Session|*,|MSMQ Outgoing HTTP Session|*

and getting metrics for MSMQ Queue and MSMQ service but not for others.

 

Can you please provide me the link in order to check which all objects are instance-based and which all are not instance-based.

If you look at TechNet, you will see some of the counters are instance-based, even though they don't appear as such:

Monitoring Message Queuing performance

You will need to adjust your filterPattern to account for those.

Hi Winkle:

Has this questions been answered or are there follow-up questions?
