Events

WebSphere MQ events provide information about errors, warnings, and other significant occurrences in a queue manager. By incorporating these events into your own system management application, we can monitor the activities across many queue managers, for multiple WebSphere MQ applications. In particular, we can monitor all the queue managers in your system from a single queue manager.

Events can be reported through a user-written reporting mechanism to an administration application that supports the presentation of the events to an operator. Events also enable applications acting as agents for other administration networks, for example NetView, to monitor reports and create the appropriate alerts.
