Hello Community,
We have a requirement to automatically discover newly created queues within an already monitored IBM MQ Queue Manager.
Currently, when a new queue is created, the queue name must be manually added to the discovery snippet before SL1 can discover and monitor it. In environments where queues are created frequently, this creates additional operational overhead and increases the risk of queues not being monitored until manual intervention occurs.
Requested Enhancement
- Automatically discover newly created queues under monitored Queue Managers.
- Detect new queues during scheduled discovery/re-discovery cycles.
- Automatically create queue components and apply existing monitoring policies.
- Support include/exclude patterns to control which queues are monitored.
- Eliminate the need to update discovery snippets whenever queues are added.
Use Case
Our MQ environment is dynamic, and new application queues are introduced regularly. Having to manually maintain queue names in the discovery configuration is time-consuming and difficult to scale.
Benefits
- Reduced manual administration.
- Faster onboarding of new MQ queues.
- Improved monitoring coverage.
- Reduced risk of unmonitored production queues.
Is anyone else looking for similar functionality? It would be great to have this capability natively supported in a future IBM MQ PowerPack release.
