Measures reported by WsMqChlInstTest

This test connects to a WebSphere MQ server, auto-discovers the channels that have been configured for this server and monitors the instances of each channel. Using this test, administrators can figure out the utilization of the instances in each channel and identify the channel that is overloaded in terms of instances. This test also throws light on the maximum number of instances configured for the channels.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for every channel configured for the WebSphere MQ server.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
currentInstances Indicates the number of instances of this channel currently connected to the Queue Manager. Number This measure is a good indicator of the load on each channel.

Compare the value of this measure across channels to identify the channel with maximum number of instances connected to the Queue Manager.

A value close to the Maximum Instances measure indicates that the channel is running out of instances.
instanceUsagePCT Indicates the percentage of instances of this channel currently connected to the Queue Manager. Percent The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the Host to which the server is connected, count of current instances, percentage of instance usage, count of inactive instances and the maximum number of instances allocated per client.
freeInstances Indicates the number of instances of this channel that are currently available to connect to the Queue Manager. Number Compare the value of this measure across channels to figure out the channel that is most sought after.
pctFreeInstances Indicates the percentage of instances of this channel that are currently available to connect to the Queue Manager. Number Compare the value of this measure across the channels to figure out the channel that is least sought by the users.
maxInstances Indicates the maximum number of instances that can be held by this channel. Number The detailed diagnosis of the Current instances measure lists the Host to which the server is connected, count of current instances, percentage of instance usage, count of inactive instances and the maximum number of instances allocated per client.
