By Justin Reock,
Deputy CTO, DX

Managing ActiveMQ in a modern enterprise environment is not simple. It powers critical flows across distributed applications, but as environments grow in scale and complexity, the challenges multiply. High availability, fault tolerance, and intricate routing rules all demand more than just watching queue depth and throughput.

In this expert-written guide, Justin Reock, Deputy CTO at DX, explains why advanced KPIs are essential for keeping ActiveMQ environments reliable and efficient. You will learn which metrics matter most, how to monitor them effectively, and how to use them to stay ahead of performance issues before they disrupt operations.

In this whitepaper, you’ll learn:

  • Why traditional metrics are not enough for monitoring enterprise-scale ActiveMQ
  • How advanced KPIs provide earlier warning signs of performance degradation
  • The role of advanced KPIs in reducing mean time to resolution (MTTR)
  • How the right approach to monitoring supports compliance, reliability, and scalability
  • Practical strategies to apply advanced monitoring without adding unnecessary complexity

Whether you are an architect, admin, or engineer responsible for messaging performance, this whitepaper offers the clarity you need to monitor ActiveMQ at scale and with confidence.

Self-Healing Middleware: The Architect’s Blueprint for Resilience Middleware Architects rely on automated self-healing to maintain system resilience and efficiency. Middleware environments are inherently complex, with interconnected queues, brokers, and channels. Manually addressing issues like queue overflow, stalled processes, or certificate expirations consumes valuable time and resources, leaving architects with less bandwidth for optimization and innovation.

Automated self-healing for middleware systems like IBM MQ, ActiveMQ, or Kafka addresses key […]
