Turn IBM MQ Metrics Into Operational Insight
Splunk, Friday, October 23rd, 2026
Splunk adds IBM MQ queue and channel metrics via OpenTelemetry to Splunk Observability Cloud to catch slowdowns early.
Splunk says new IBM MQ metrics show queue depth, message age and channel health, helping teams catch slowdowns in payments and other critical workflows.
The MQ data flows through OpenTelemetry into Splunk Observability Cloud Infrastructure Monitoring.
This places queue health alongside the service metrics teams already monitor.
Splunk recommends alerting on sustained changes to important queues rather than brief spikes.
