Real-time monitoring

Real-time monitoring is a technique that allows you to determine the current state of queues and channels within a queue manager. A number of commands are available that when issued return real-time information about queues and channels. Varying amounts of information can be returned for a single queue or channel, or for multiple queues or channels. The information returned is accurate at the moment the command was issued. Real-time monitoring is detailed in Real-time monitoring.
