Basic MQ Queue Rate Monitoring - see https://marketaylor.synology.me/?p=1353

This gist shows how a few simple scripts can be chained together to create very basic MQ monitor that lists puts/sec in a table.

# Use MQ Statistics Events to calculate msg/sec rates for queues.
# Define a function to truncate floating point numbers to 2 places
def roundTo2: .*100.0|round/100.0;
# Filter all events to just process those with queue stats
select(.eventData.queueStatisticsData !=null) |
.eventData.queueMgrName as $qMgr |
# Extract time stamps and convert to epoch format in seconds
.eventData.startDate as $startDate |
.eventData.startTime as $startTime |
($startDate + " " + $startTime | strptime("%Y-%m-%d %H.%M.%S") | mktime) as $startEpoch |
.eventData.endDate as $endDate |
.eventData.endTime as $endTime |
($endDate + " " + $endTime | strptime("%Y-%m-%d %H.%M.%S") | mktime) as $endEpoch |
# Extract the PUT metrics and print along with the duration
# Duration should match (give-or-take a second or two) the
# qmgr's STATINT value (also given in seconds)
#
# Also print out the start time for a bit of sanity checking.
# We don't show the date here; it's just nice to see a timestamp moving in a readable format).
.eventData.queueStatisticsData[] |
(.puts[0] + .puts[1] + .put1s[0] + .put1s[1]) as $putTotal |
# The "+0.0" converts each side into floats so we get non-integer rates.
(($putTotal + 0.0)/ (($endEpoch - $startEpoch) + 0.0)) as $rate |
{
periodStart : $startEpoch ,
periodEnd : $endEpoch,
duration : ($endEpoch - $startEpoch),
startTime : $startTime,
queueMgr:$qMgr,
queue:.queueName,
putNP:(.puts[0] + .put1s[0]),
putP: (.puts[1] + .put1s[1]),
putTotal: $putTotal,
rate: $rate | roundTo2
}
# This final section might be optional but it further simplifies the
# output to just the 3 elements you might need to display current state
| [ .periodStart, .queue, .rate ]

# work as hoped. The <() syntax does what we need though.
