Troubleshooting MQ Telemetry using IBM MQ Explorer
Help is provided for some of the problems that might occur when we use IBM MQ Explorer to administer telemetry.
About this task
When you install the Telemetry feature, you might want to run the Define sample configuration wizard to set up a basic configuration of telemetry. See Defining a sample configuration.We can verify and test your basic setup by using the MQTT client utility to publish, and subscribe to, messages. For more information about testing your sample configuration, see Use the MQTT client utility.
