I'm wondering if there is a way to automatically check to see if there are any entries in the Visibility Inbound queue. We still have sporadic situations where Apache stops running. We have found documentation on where this could be caused by the producerFlowControl, however we have not made changes to our production system. What we would like to do is to write some scripts that could check that queue value so that if the queue > 0 then send us notification. This past weekend MQ stopped running and we had over 40,000 entries that needed to process. With that being said we know that we can execute AIX scripts to monitor MQ Series so I'm wondering if there is a way to manually monitor Apache?

So, a good place to start is: http://activemq.apache.org/performance-tuning.html AMQ is a non-trivial distributed system and infrastructure building block. So, like any such system, it needs to be tuned and configured for your needs and it is highly configurable and flexible. As you are reading the perf page, pull out your activemq.xml from the installed edi system - mask hosts/ports/passwds and post it on here. Your broker seems to be running low on system resources.
