How to create a global JMS Queue alert definition

[ksaloojee]

I would like to define an alert definition across JMS queues. Right now I know how to create an alert definition for a single queue, e.g.

if (Messages in Queue(jms/SomeQueue) > 100) {
 fire off an alert
}

What I would like to do is create an alert that will fire if the total number of messages across all queues exceeds some limit. So something like

if (Messages in Queue (All Queues) > 1000) {
 fire off an alert
}

I cannot find a way to do this, is this possible or has it been left out because it was illogical / impractical?

TIA

This is currently not supported. You can do "optical correlation" :-) by defining a group on all queues and then monitoring the respective group graph, but then even this will not provide the sum of all individual messages.

I have opened a jira:

http://jira.rhq-project.org/browse/RHQ-2037

Btw.: if you want to help implement this, you are welcome ;-)
