Using WebSphere MQ online monitoring

We can collect monitoring data for queues and channels (including automatically defined cluster-server channels) by setting the MONQ, MONCHL and MONACLS attributes. Table 14 summarizes the commands to set these attributes at different levels and to display the monitoring information.
