Andre, There is a object type "Websphere MQ queues" under the NT performance monitor. You can capture data such as number of messages put to the queue in a second. May be from that you can work out the number of msgs in a day.
I tried it at v5.2 just for fun and have never used it or examined the data. So not sure how useful it is and the impact to the system. Refer to the Chapter 4 of System Admin Guide for details. Cheers, Ian -----Original Message----- From: MQSeries List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Neil Casey Sent: Wednesday, 3 March 2004 10:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: MQ Message statistics Hi Andre, we use a locally developed an MQ Administration Interface (MQAI) program which issues RESET Q STATS on each queue, and records the ENQCount, DEQCount and MaxDepth for each queue in a file. We run it every 15 minutes using cron (on unix) but you should be able to develop something similar and run it using Windows facilities. One thing to be careful of is that Performance Events (Service Interval or QFull) also cause a Reset event on the queue, so if you enable them, you need to be able to capture the stats from them as well. Unfortunately, I can't release source due to Intellectual Property rights (my company owns the code, not me).

There is no MQ monitoring / admin software installed other than the standard MQ. We have a hub and spoke architecture, and all mq messages currently flow through the central windows 2000 server and use circular logging. No clustering or MQclients are involved at this stage. On the hub we have WMQI flows for message transformation and distribution purposes. I would like to find out what the most optimal way would be to gather statistics on message volumes passing through our central HUB server. The 2 options I am considering at the moment is to either use channel exits or to actually modify the message flows to add another destination for each message flow. This additional queue will trigger a program which will collect stats for monthly reporting. Any advice will be much appreciated!
