How to monitor IBM Websphere JMS / MQ / QCF Connection Pools?

craig_b — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 08:40:15 GMT

Hello!

We are looking for ways to monitor IBM Websphere JMS connection pools, and surprisingly I am not seeing where this is possible without doing something via the PMI extension which might be expensive in terms of DDUs.

There are lots of built-in connection pool metrics in Dynatrace for Websphere, but they are all for Database connection pools (ie, builtin:tech.websphere.connectionPool.connectionPoolModule.PoolSize).

Would love to hear what others are doing for this!

Hi @craig_b
You can always do a custom JMX extension and just get the subset that you require.
It will consume DDU, but not as much as getting all PMI.
