Using Messaging Metrics

Messaging metrics are the Java metrics enabled in WSO2 MB for the purpose of monitoring MB-specific statistics.

The metrics feature is enabled in WSO2 MB by default. See the topic on working with WSO2 Carbon metrics for details on how metrics are enabled. 

Follow the steps given below for instructions on using the Messaging Metrics dashboard.

  1. Log in to the management console of MB and click Monitor -> Metrics -> Messaging Metrics
  2. The View Metrics page will open. At the top of this page, you will find the following panel:
  3. First, select the Source from the drop-down list. In a clustered setup, you must specify the MB node that you want to monitor.
  4. You can specify the time interval for which the statistics displayed are valid. By default you will see statistics from the last 5 minutes.
  5. In the Views section, you will find buttons corresponding to the different types of metrics that you want view. You can click the relevant button to view the statistics. Given below are the statistics corresponding to each button:
