Gunilla Queue service interval and queue depth high are queue attributes to be set and performance events to be turned on for the queue manager in order to pick up these kind of events on the remote queue manager. You could also set these up for the XMITQ used locally to transport messages to the remote queue manager.
ALTER QMGR + PERFMEV(ENABLED) ALTER QLOCAL('MYQUEUE ')+ QSVCINT(10000)+ QSVCIEV(HIGH) Regularly issue RESET QSTATS command for the target queue will give you rough idea of message rates or throughput. I believe many of the vendor supplied monitors can do the same or better.

I have a customer that wants us to track message throughput. He wants us to alert when a certain amount of messages does NOT pass the queue(in this case I guess it's a remote queue) in a certain time frame. This is to make them aware of a possible application problem. Does someone have any idea to solve this?
