Issue/Introduction
In SYSVIEW for MQ, there is an option, history of local queue.
In PLOTS, there is the option: Plot queue depth or MQQDEPTH, but there is only approximately 1 hour history.
Is it possible to have a longer interval, or do any reports will create graph for specific time back?
Or is it needed to enable some log stream or saving date to some dataset?
Environment
SYSVIEW 17.0 - z/OS supported releases -
Resolution
Queue depth is not tracked past one hour of the data collection.
Some metrics write a one hour summary record to the PLOTLOG, but only the QMGR-level metrics are eligible for PLOTLOG.
If wanting to save the data, a scheduled CAPTURE for MQQLOCAL can be written, but that would be just the data on that display, not a graph.
Needing a graph, REST API can be used to get the data off platform and use a 3rd party tool to view a graph, such as Excel.
The Zowe plug-in has a CSV option that would make the data easier to import to Excel.
