[Xymon] MQ monitoring on Windows

[Neil Simmonds]

I've been working on getting MQ monitoring on Windows working. I've got a bat file that is running and creating a file for the MQ Queue data however I'm not seeing the data in Xymon. I have got a MQ column on the server in question but all it shows is the word "data".

I'm pretty sure this is something to do with the data format but I can't see what.

If I look at the file on a Linux box before it is sent to Xymon it looks like this,

client ukclapimprb01.mqcollect mqcollect
5724-H72 (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1994, 2009.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Starting MQSC for queue manager PBKR01.

My file on the Windows box before it is dropped into the tmp directory looks like this,

client ukaccmtx001.mqcollect mqcollect
5724-H72 (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1994, 2009.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Starting MQSC for queue manager PMTX01.

However, when I display client data from the two servers on Xymon the Linux one looks like this,

[collector:]
client ukclapimprb01.mqcollect mqcollect
5724-H72 (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1994, 2009.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Starting MQSC for queue manager PBKR01.

While the Windows one looks like this,

[collector:mq]
status UKACCMTX001.mq client  ukaccmtx001.mqcollect mqcollect
5724-H72 (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1994, 2009.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Starting MQSC for queue manager PMTX01.

Has anyone any idea where I'm going wrong?
