Still Jumping Between Tools to Monitor MQ and Kafka?

Here’s the issue:
Most teams try to monitor IBM MQ and Kafka separately. That creates gaps. Delays go unnoticed. Alerts get missed. And root causes stay hidden while problems grow.

Now picture this instead:
You see a Kafka slowdown and quickly trace it back to a stuck MQ queue. You spot a spike before it impacts users. Your team is ahead of issues instead of reacting after the fact.

That’s what unified monitoring is built for.

MQ and Kafka Work Differently. Your Monitoring Should Reflect That.

  • MQ focuses on reliable delivery and tight control
  • Kafka handles fast-moving data at scale

Trying to treat them the same doesn’t work. You need the right metrics for each, all in one place, with tools that understand how they interact.
