  • 1.  Is it possible to monitor MQ and ACE using shell & MQSI scripts on AKS?

    Posted Thu May 25, 2023 05:32 AM
    Hi All,

    Using custom shell and MQSI scripts we have seen that monitoring of queues(like full or current depth) and IBM ACE messageflow (status) can be achieved. And status is updated over email for every time interval. This can be achieved on prem servers.
     
    Can we achieve the same incase both IBM ACE and MQ on Azure kuberenetes service? and What is the behavior of this scripts when new pods are created based on work load?

    Hi
    in my view there is a big difference between ACE and MQ.
    Running a message flow in 15 pods may work well, launching MQ in 15 pods may not work well.
    You may search for Azure Event Grid about processing AKS events.
    What would you like to achieve, what are your worries?
    Do you work with your own MQ docker image?

    Hi,

    Thank you for the reply.
    Here, my main idea is to do basic monitoring of MQ and ACE using shell scripts with help of cron jobs. is it can be done in AKS on Azure cloud environment?

    Hi Bhanu,

    If you don't want to purchase a supported monitoring system you could use the samples here:
