Configure IBM MQ extension in OneAgent instead of ActiveGate

[Sij]

The goal is to grant essential privileges to dtuser, enabling the extraction of queue information for display on the dashboard. According to the provided documentation, this should be achievable. However, we're encountering difficulties granting the necessary privileges at the dtuser level because dtuser doesn't create a home directory by default. Could you please provide detailed steps and the necessary information to configure the extension in OneAgent?

Hi Sij,

There is nothing you need to do to dtuser except granting read access to /var/mqm/qmgrs and read/write to /var/mqm/log. Nothing else. The rest of access and permissions is done on IBM MQ on the queue manager according to your authentication policies (whether to authenticate user passed, user + password, combination of both, ignore both, etc.)..

What difficulties are you encountering? Could you please elaborate on that?

Thanks,

Diego

Hello @diego_morales 

We have supplied the recommended permissions and have not utilized the dtuser in the configuration. Additionally, we have added the dtuser to the mqm group, yet we are encountering the following issue.

GENERIC_ERROR Connection failed. Could not connect to queue manager
