IBM MQ is an enterprise-grade message-oriented middleware (MOM) that provides stability and reliability to companies in various industries, including financial services, retail, and aviation. The new IBM MQ integration with Datadog enables users to collect key metrics and logs from their IBM MQ instances, visualize them with customizable dashboards, and gain deeper visibility into the health and performance of their messaging infrastructure. Data integrity is a core principle of IBM MQ, guaranteeing no loss of messages, and the integration tracks dozens of key metrics, including queue depth, message age, and dead-letter queue alerts. With Datadog's system-level checks and powerful monitoring and alerting capabilities, users can monitor the overall health of their queues and queue managers, scale their instances accordingly, and take action immediately when issues arise.
