MQ Support for Distributed Tracing

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Existing Application Performance Management (APM) tools, and emerging W3C standards for Distributed Tracing require propagation of tracking meta data across application protocols.

For applications using HTTP as the communication protocol between application components, this meta data can be placed in HTTP headers to be accessed by downstream APM agents or tracers while not fundamentally impacting the application being monitored.

For applications that use messaging protocols for communication between application components, the propagation of tracking meta data is typically handled by adding the meta data in message properties.

For IBM MQ based applications, the insertion of unexpected message properties can cause the underlying application to fail. While is it possible to change the application to handle these additional properties, it is often not technically or financially feasible to do so.

Ideally there would be a mechanism to propagate distributed tracing meta data across IBM MQ messages without requiring application or MQ configuration changes.

    Moving as not under consideration. This idea no longer matches our current priorities, and is unlikely to be done in the next couple of years.

    We are considering adding support for this to a future version of MQ

    To avoid message properties being given to an MQ application that does not understand them, define the queue with PROPCTL(NONE)
