Configure MQ Telemetry using IBM MQ Explorer
Configure IBM MQ to run the Telemetry feature, using IBM MQ Explorer. Create telemetry objects, and test your telemetry setup using the MQTT client utility.
About this task
Change the MQ Telemetry information by modifying the values specified on a set of configuration attributes that govern the Telemetry feature. The sample configuration provides a basic setup with defined attributes. Change the behavior of the preset telemetry objects by modifying their attributes or properties. For more information about the meaning of each attribute, see Telemetry channel properties and Telemetry channel status attributes.
- Create and configure a telemetry channel
A telemetry channel connects a number of MQTT clients to IBM MQ. Create one or more telemetry channels on a queue manager. Each of these telemetry channels might have different configuration settings, making it easier to manage the clients attached to them.- Defining a sample configuration
We can use the Define sample configuration wizard to reconfigure your queue manager, making it suitable for the MQ Telemetry feature. The sample configuration defines and starts the MQXR service, defines the transmit queue, and creates a sample telemetry channel.- Defining the MQXR service
The MQXR service is defined when you run the Define sample configuration wizard. We can also define the MQXR service manually.Parent topic: Use MQ Telemetry
