Status Not under consideration

Provide a Queue Status Event published when a queue has activity

There can be a lot of queues in the system and the only way to get status for "active" ones is to inquire them all (INQ QSTATUS(*) ALL. If there are 1000s of queues, these all have to be requested and yet, 90%+ of them will usually be zeros. Techniques such as using a filter do not work since only 1 filter and there are many aspects of active ones. To remediate this, the concept of a Queue Status Event is introduced. This event is published when a queue has activity. Examples of this would be when a queue is - opened for input or output - message put or get - messages expired The data published would be same as currently available when inquiring status. The data would be published the first time any activity was identified and then at most based on a system defined minimum value such as every 30 seconds. To reduce the number of events, if the queue has no change in status attributes, no event is published. As value add, max and min current depth during the interval would be useful since it would allow the publish interval to be larger and still catch some understanding of the queues behavior.

    We do not think it likely that this would ever be implmented, at least in the form described here. Therefore this idea is being declined.

    More likely would be something to make it easier to use the published resource metrics (used by tools like amqsrua), perhaps with a combination of wildcarding and non-"null" filtering.
