Chapter 2. Enhancements

ENTMQIC-2146 - Enhanced INFO logging in the router

Logging at the INFO level has been enhanced. You can now track the lifecycle of each router’s connections and links.

When a connection is opened, a log entry is created providing you with the following information:

In addition, you can now trace links by using INFO logs. When a link is attached (that is, created), a log entry is created providing you with the following information:

When a link is detached, a log entry is created providing you with the link’s terminal statistics, and any error conditions related to the termination of the link.

ENTMQIC-2147 - Enhanced metrics available from the router

AMQ Interconnect now provides several new AMQP link statistics that help you to identify delayed message deliveries and troubleshoot slow consumers.

For each link, the router now reports the following new statistics:

You can view these new per-link router statistics by using the qdstat tool, the web console, or viewing the router’s logs.

ENTMQIC-2170 - Optionally enforce access policy on connections established by the router

When the router opens a connection to an external AMQP container, you can now define policies that restrict the resources that the external container can access on the router. Previously, policies could only be applied to inbound connections. This meant that it was possible for external containers to open links to any address on the router (such as $management, for example).

To define the resources that an external container can access over a connection, you must create a connector policy. For more information, see this example of a connector policy.
