Overview

The ActiveMQ check collects metrics for brokers, queues, producers, consumers, and more.

Note: This check also supports ActiveMQ Artemis (future ActiveMQ version 6) and reports metrics under the activemq.artemis namespace. See metadata.csv for a list of metrics provided by this integration.

Note: If you are running an ActiveMQ version older than 5.8.0, see the Agent 5.10.x released sample files.

Setup

Installation

The Agent’s ActiveMQ check is included in the Datadog Agent package, so you don’t need to install anything else on your ActiveMQ nodes.

The check collects metrics from JMX with JMXFetch. A JVM is needed on each node so the Agent can run JMXFetch. Datadog recommends using an Oracle-provided JVM.

Configuration

    Host

    To configure this check for an Agent running on a host:

    1. Make sure that JMX Remote is enabled on your ActiveMQ server.

    2. Configure the Agent to connect to ActiveMQ. Edit activemq.d/conf.yaml, in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent’s configuration directory. See the sample activemq.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options. See the metrics.yaml file for the list of default collected metrics.

      init_config:
  is_jmx: true
  collect_default_metrics: true

instances:
  - host: localhost
    port: 1616
    user: username
    password: password
    name: activemq_instance

    3. Restart the agent

    Log collection

    Available for Agent versions >6.0

    1. Collecting logs is disabled by default in the Datadog Agent, enable it in your datadog.yaml file:

      logs_enabled: true

    2. Add this configuration block to your activemq.d/conf.yaml file to start collecting your ActiveMQ logs:

      logs:
  - type: file
    path: "<ACTIVEMQ_BASEDIR>/data/activemq.log"
    source: activemq
    service: "<SERVICE_NAME>"
  - type: file
    path: "<ACTIVEMQ_BASEDIR>/data/audit.log"
    source: activemq
    service: "<SERVICE_NAME>"

    3. Restart the Agent.

    Containerized

    For containerized environments, see the Autodiscovery Integration Templates for guidance on applying the parameters below.

    Metric collection
    ParameterValue
    <INTEGRATION_NAME>activemq
    <INIT_CONFIG>"is_jmx": true
    <INSTANCE_CONFIG>{"host": "%%host%%","port":"1099"}
    Log collection

    Available for Agent versions >6.0

    Collecting logs is disabled by default in the Datadog Agent. To enable it, see Kubernetes Log Collection.

    ParameterValue
    <LOG_CONFIG>{"source": "activemq", "service": "<YOUR_APP_NAME>"}

    Validation

    Run the Agent’s status subcommand and look for activemq under the Checks section.

    ActiveMQ XML Integration

    Overview

    Get metrics from ActiveMQ XML in real time to:

    • Visualize and monitor ActiveMQ XML states.
    • Be notified about ActiveMQ XML failovers and events.

    Setup

    Installation

    The ActiveMQ XML check is included in the Datadog Agent package, so you don’t need to install anything else on your servers.

    Configuration

    Follow the instructions below to configure this check for an Agent running on a host. For containerized environments, see the Containerized section.

    Host

    To configure this check for an Agent running on a host:

    1. Edit activemq_xml.d/conf.yaml, in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent’s configuration directory with your stats url. See the sample activemq_xml.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options.

      Note: The ActiveMQ XML integration can potentially emit custom metrics, which may impact your billing. By default, there is a limit of 350 metrics. If you require additional metrics, contact Datadog support.

    2. Restart the Agent.

    Log collection

    1. Collecting logs is disabled by default in the Datadog Agent, enable it in your datadog.yaml file:

      logs_enabled: true

    2. Add this configuration block to your activemq_xml.d/conf.yaml or activemq.d/conf.yaml file to start collecting your ActiveMQ logs:

      logs:
