activemq topic metricset

edit

This functionality is in beta and is subject to change. The design and code is less mature than official GA features and is being provided as-is with no warranties. Beta features are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.

This is the topic metricset of the ActiveMQ module.

The metricset provides metrics describing the available ActiveMQ topics, especially exchanged messages (enqueued, dequeued, expired, in-flight), connected consumers and producers.

To collect data, the module communicates with a Jolokia HTTP/REST endpoint that exposes the JMX metrics over HTTP/REST/JSON (JMX key: org.apache.activemq:brokerName=localhost,destinationName=sample_queue,destinationType=Queue,type=Broker).

The topic metricset comes with a predefined dashboard:

metricbeat activemq topics overview

This is a default metricset. If the host module is unconfigured, this metricset is enabled by default.
