Configuring IBM MQ Appliances monitoring

The MQ Appliance agent is a multi-instance agent. After installation, you must configure the agent by creating an agent instance before you can start monitoring with the agent.

Before you begin

• The directions here are for the most current release of the agent, except as indicated. For information about how to check the version of an agent in your environment, see Agent version command.

• On Linux and UNIX systems, you can configure the agent with the configuration script that prompts for responses or the silent response file.
  • Configuring the agent by responding to prompts
  • Configuring the agent by using the silent response file
• On Windows systems, you can configure the agent only with the silent response file.
  • Configuring the agent by using the silent response file

What to do next

In the Cloud APM console, go to your Application Performance Dashboard to view the data that was collected. For more information about using the Cloud APM console, see Starting the Cloud APM console.

If you are unable to view the data in the agent dashboards, first check the server connection logs and then the data provider logs. The default paths to these logs are listed here:

• /opt/ibm/apm/agent/logs
• C:\IBM\APM\TMAITM6_x64\logs
