Use Groups to Filter Queue Managers and Queues

A way to reduce waste in processing power is to filter out unnecessary data before it reaches the Cross-Enterprise APM Agent. Include or exclude queue managers for the WILYQM group and queues for the WILYQUE group definition.

CA SYSVIEW automatically includes definitions for the WILYQM and WILYQUE groups. We recommend that you add members to these groups so that the agent receives only those queues that are related to the applications in use.

By default, CA SYSVIEW includes all queue managers and queues except for the temporary queues.

Note: You may find that you do not need all that data.

CA SYSVIEW automatically filters out the temporary queues, such as PERMDYN and TEMPDYN. You do not have to exclude these queues specifically from the group definitions.

Add a queue manager or queue to the group by adding a separate member key/value pair on a separate line.

Example: Filter Queue Managers and Queues

This example shows how to exclude and include queue managers and queues in the group definitions. The modified group definitions exclude the XYZ queue manager and include the ABC queue.

DEFINE WILYQM
      TYPE      MQQMGR
      DESC      'Wily monitored queue managers' 
      MEMBER    =
      EXCLUDE     XYZ

DEFINE WILYQUE
      TYPE      MQQUEUE                         
      DESC      'Wily monitored queues'
      MEMBER    =
      MEMBER      ABC
