This module periodically fetches metrics from a containerized distribution of IBM MQ.

The ibmmq qmgr metricset is compatible with a containerized distribution of IBM MQ (since version 9.1.0). The Docker image starts the runmqserver process, which spawns the HTTP server exposing metrics in Prometheus format (source code)).

The Docker container lifecycle, including metrics collection, has been described in the Internals document.

The image provides an option to easily enable metrics exporter using an environment variable:

MQ_ENABLE_METRICS - Set this to true to generate Prometheus metrics for the Queue Manager.

The ibmmq module includes predefined dashboards with overview information of the monitored Queue Manager, including subscriptions, calls and messages.

metricbeat ibmmq calls

metricbeat ibmmq messages

metricbeat ibmmq subscriptions

The IBM MQ module supports the standard configuration options that are described in Modules. Here is an example configuration:
