MQ monitoring using Java code

[Kadirpatel]

Hi,
I need to write a code so that it monitors a particular MQ Q and pop's an alert if messages are not reviced for more than 2 or 3 hours. I need to know are there any api's that I can use to query the last update time of each MQ Q ?

Thanks in advance.

I can't be sure of what you mean.

Are you saying that you should never have an interval of 3 hours where no message come in to a queue.

There is no attribute that tells you when the last message was removed from a queue.

Perhaps you have already found a different way to do this. By having your application that is reading the queue, read/write to a file the time and date of the last successful get, and replacing it after each get You have the same or a second application that reads that file with read only and checks to make sure that the last date and time is not more than 3 hours in the past. You can be clever in the checking program and when you read the time and date. Put the application to sleep to wake up again 3 hours from the last time/date entry.
