Monitoring JMS performance within Tivoli Performance Viewer
This section assumes an understanding of how Tivoli Performance Viewer works. To learn more first then go to Chapter 16, Server-side performance and analysis tools.
The Performance Monitoring service within each appserver will provide statistics on the following areas of JMS:
| MDB executions including average response time of onMessage method |
| Usage of the QCF and TCF connection and session pools |
| Message listener threads |
Figure 15-26 shows where these settings can be configured within Tivoli Performance Viewer. This screen shows the available settings when using the Trade3 application and the WebSphere MQ JMS provider.

By specifying the level of monitoring shown you will be given all the information that Tivoli Performance Viewer can create about JMS.
When using Tivoli Performance Viewer to look at JMS statistics it is not immediately obvious what some of the performance monitors mean. The first issue to overcome is getting all the monitors to appear, then some of the monitors will need explaining.
