  • 1.  Summary of AMQERRxx.LOG files

    Hello,

    I'm looking for a tool to summarize the AMQERRxx.LOG files of a Queue Manager.
    A few years ago, it seems that the IBM MQ Insight Pack of "IBM Operations Analytics - Log Analysis" met this need, but it does not seem to be available anymore.

    The need (for now) is to analyse these files offline.
    Is there anything similar (support pack or commercial tool) that I can look at?

    Thank you.

    Hi Luc-Michel,

    I don't have a tool to recommend, but I can perhaps suggest a useful technique.

    If you have reasonably current MQ running, you should be able to write the AMQERR01.LOG (or equivalent) in JSON format. These can be easily ingested into splunk or an ELK stack, and you can then create queries or dashboards to look at analysis.

    Not as quick or simple as a product that is designed to perform the analysis, but much easier than building programs to do it.

    Regards,

    Neil Casey.

    Hello Neil,

    The plan for the future is indeed to push the MQ logs & events into an ELK or something.
    In the short term, I'm looking for a tool like ffstsummary, but that processes AMQERRxx instead of FDC.

    Maybe an idea to put in the new RFE site?

    Regards.
