Overview

With Dynatrace, you can get observability for ActiveMQ without touching any code, thanks to automatic monitoring. Seamless end-to-end traces for connected producer and consumer services allow you to diagnose anomalies and pinpoint the root cause of the broken code before your customers are affected. Comprehensive metrics give you insight into the health and performance of your ActiveMQ brokers, queues, and topics. Events point you to critical anomalies, reducing the mean time to repair.

Use cases

Capture every message across tiers without blind spots.
Troubleshoot asynchronous service problems across your stack proactively.
Improve the performance of your producer and consumer services end-to-end.
Prevent message processing anomalies to reduce the mean time to repair.
Monitor the health and performance of all your brokers, topics, and queues.
