Using WebSphere MQ trace
We can record performance statistics and accounting data for WebSphere MQ by using the WebSphere MQ trace facility. The data generated by WebSphere MQ is sent to:
- The System Management Facility (SMF), specifically as SMF record type 115, subtypes 1 and 2 for the performance statistics trace
- The SMF, specifically as SMF record type 116, subtypes zero, 1, and 2 for the accounting trace.
If you prefer, the data generated by the WebSphere MQ accounting trace can also be sent to the generalized trace facility (GTF).
