Interpreting WebSphere MQ accounting data
WebSphere MQ accounting data is written as SMF type 116 records.
WebSphere MQ accounting information can be collected for three subtypes:
- 0
- Message manager accounting records (how much CPU was spent processing WebSphere MQ API calls and the number of MQPUT and MQGET calls). This information is produced when a named task disconnects from WebSphere MQ, and so the information contained within the record might cover many hours.
- 1
- Accounting data for each task, at thread and queue level.
- 2
- Additional queue-level accounting data (if the task used more queues than could fit in the subtype 1 record).
Subtype 0 is produced with trace class 1; subtypes 1 and 2 are produced with trace class 3.
