Sizing Log Streams for MQ Application Request Records

This sample table sizes log streams for MQ Application Request records:

RetPd Days	Avg Rec Length	Hourly Count	Total Byte Requirement	Max Dsns	4-KB Blocks	Cyls
5	300	800	28,800,000	80	88	1
14	300	800	80,640,000	100	197	1
14	300	8000	806,400,000	100	1,969	10

Consider the following:

Hourly Count
The WebSphere MQ data collector writes a record for each queue used during the system data collection interval.

If multiple Queue Managers are being monitored, this value must be the combined total for those Queue Managers.

The above example assumes that the system interval is 15 minutes.
- Examples 1 and 2 assume that 100 queues were used and two Queue Managers were being monitored.
  Hourly count = 100 * 4 * 2
- Example 3 assumes that 1000 queues were used and two Queue Managers were being monitored.
  Hourly count = 1000 * 4 * 2
The volume of this log stream should be medium.
The large amount of data can be maintained.
