Administer MQ Telemetry using IBM MQ Explorer

MQ Telemetry can be administered by using IBM MQ Explorer. We can control the MQXR service, and monitor the MQTT clients that are connected to IBM MQ.


For information about client authorization, authenticating a telemetry channel using TLS, and JAAS configurations, see Administer IBM MQ Telemetry.

  • Start and stop the MQXR service
    Before we can start or stop the MQXR service, the queue manager must be running.
  • Start and stop a telemetry channel
    A telemetry channel is automatically started when it is created. It stops when the queue manager or MQXR service is stopped. We can also start and stop a telemetry channel manually.
  • View the status of a telemetry channel
    The status of a running telemetry channel provides information about the clients connected to it.
  • Filtering Telemetry objects
    If we are viewing several defined telemetry objects in the Content view, you might need a way to narrow the search scope of these objects. Do this by using filters.
