Issue/Introduction

Need to monitor channels and queues for iSeries / AS/400

Environment

Release : 9.0.2

Component : UIM - WEBSPHERE_MQ

Resolution

Please refer to the following link for what is currently monitored via AS400 / iSeries probes in UIM including queues but it does not include channels.

Currently we do not have any probe that supports channel monitoring on AS400 servers. websphere_mq monitors channels, but it currently does not run on AS400/iSeries.

We would consider this an enhancement for our AS400 platform probes.
