Chapter 6. Monitoring brokers for problems
AMQ Broker includes an internal tool called the Critical Analyzer that actively monitors running brokers for problems such as deadlock conditions. In a production environment, a problem such as a deadlock condition can be caused by IO errors, a defective disk, memory shortage, or excess CPU usage caused by other processes.
The Critical Analyzer periodically measures the response time for critical operations such as queue delivery (that is, adding of messages to a queue on the broker) and journal operations. If the response time of a checked operation exceeds a configurable timeout value, the broker is considered unstable. In this case, you can configure the Critical Analyzer to simply log a message or take action to protect the broker, such as shutting down the broker or stopping the virtual machine (VM) that is running the broker.
6.1. Configuring the Critical Analyzer
The following procedure shows how to configure the Critical Analyzer to monitor the broker for problems.
Procedure
Open the
<broker-instance-dir>/etc/broker.xml
configuration file.The default configuration for the Critical Analyzer is shown below.
<critical-analyzer>true</critical-analyzer> <critical-analyzer-timeout>120000</critical-analyzer-timeout> <critical-analyzer-check-period>60000</critical-analyzer-check-period> <critical-analyzer-policy>HALT</critical-analyzer-policy>
Specify parameter values, as described below.
critical-analyzer
-
Specifies whether to enable or disable the Critical Analyzer tool. The default value is
true
, which means that the tool is enabled. critical-analyzer-timeout
- Timeout, in milliseconds, for the checks run by the Critical Analyzer. If the time taken by one of the checked operations exceeds this value, the broker is considered unstable.
critical-analyzer-check-period
- Time period, in milliseconds, between consecutive checks by the Critical Analyzer for each operation.
critical-analyzer-policy
-
If the broker fails a check and is considered unstable, this parameter specifies whether the broker logs a message (
LOG
), stops the virtual machine (VM) hosting the broker (HALT
), or shuts down the broker (SHUTDOWN
).
Based on the policy option that you have configured, if the response time for a critical operation exceeds the configured timeout value, you see output that resembles one of the following:
critical-analyzer-policy
=LOG

You also see a thread dump on the broker that resembles the following:
