Metric event Channel of IBM MQ

[yeyelka5]

Hi team,

I want to configure a metric event when the mq ibm channel is different from running.
I have this configured but in the threshold I don't know what values ​​to put since the channel status always takes the value of 1

Could you help me with that?

Since you are filtering to the dimension you want to be alerted upon, and the value of that metric is always 1. You just need to have a threshold above 0. This will trigger as long as the metric is coming in and the dimension filter (and other filters) match.

An alternative to your approach would be to have the dimension filter for the status to be "not equals" the running state and then follow the same above 0 threshold. This would be raised whenever the status is anything other than the running state.
