ActiveMQ collector

ActiveMQ is an open source message broker written in Java together with a full Java Message Service client.

This plugin collects queues and topics metrics using ActiveMQ Console API.

Metrics

All metrics have "activemq." prefix.

Metric	Scope	Dimensions	Units
messages	global	enqueued, dequeued	messages/s
unprocessed_messages	global	unprocessed	messages
consumers	global	consumers	consumers

Configuration

Edit the go.d/activemq.conf configuration file using edit-config from the Netdata config directory, which is typically at /etc/netdata.

cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory
sudo ./edit-config go.d/activemq.conf

Here is an example for 2 servers:

jobs:
  - name: local
    url: http://127.0.0.1:8161
    webadmin: admin
    max_queues: 100
    max_topics: 100
    queues_filter: '!sandr* *'
    topics_filter: '!sandr* *'

  - name: remote
    url: http://203.0.113.10:8161
    webadmin: admin

For all available options, please see the module configuration file.

Troubleshooting

To troubleshoot issues with the activemq collector, run the go.d.plugin with the debug option enabled. The output should give you clues as to why the collector isn't working.

• Navigate to the plugins.d directory, usually at /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/. If that's not the case on your system, open netdata.conf and look for the plugins setting under [directories].

  cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/

• Switch to the netdata user.

  sudo -u netdata -s

• Run the go.d.plugin to debug the collector:

  ./go.d.plugin -d -m activemq
