ActiveMQ

Apache ActiveMQ is an open source message broker written in Java together with a full Java Message Service (JMS) client. It provides "Enterprise Features" which in this case means fostering the communication from more than one client or server. Supported clients include Java via JMS 1.1 as well as several other "cross language" clients. The communication is managed with features such as computer clustering and ability to use any database as a JMS persistence provider besides virtual memory, cache, and journal persistency.

Apache ActiveMQ by JMX

Overview

This template is designed for the effortless deployment of Apache ActiveMQ monitoring by Zabbix via JMX and doesn't require any external scripts.

Requirements

Zabbix version: 6.4 and higher.

Tested versions

This template has been tested on:

  • Apache ActiveMQ 5.15.5

Configuration

Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the Templates out of the box section.

Setup

Metrics are collected by JMX.

  1. Enable and configure JMX access to Apache ActiveMQ. See documentation for instructions.
  2. Set values in host macros {$ACTIVEMQ.USERNAME}, {$ACTIVEMQ.PASSWORD} and {$ACTIVEMQ.PORT}.
