Middleware Performance: What Experienced Teams Monitor, Manage, and Automate
Middleware performance testing is the practice of validating how messaging and integration infrastructure behaves under realistic transaction patterns—not just whether a queue manager, broker, channel, or application endpoint is technically “up.” IBM’s documentation on monitoring your IBM MQ network emphasizes the value of gathering statistics and operational information to understand how the MQ network is running and to improve performance.[1]
For […]

Protobuf Visibility Without Schema Registry: A More Flexible Way to Inspect Kafka Records This is Part 1 of a 5-part series exploring The Protobuf Visibility Gap in Kafka Operations | Next Article
Protocol Buffers, usually called Protobuf, give development teams an efficient way to serialize structured data. A .proto file defines the fields, types, and relationships that make the binary data meaningful. The tradeoff is that […]

Secure MQ Administration: Why MQ Monitoring Alone Isn’t Enough
For enterprise IT leaders, IBM MQ is often one of the most critical layers in the technology stack. It moves high-value transactions, connects core systems, and supports applications that the business cannot afford to interrupt.
That is why secure MQ administration requires more than another monitoring dashboard.
General-purpose observability and monitoring tools can be useful. They can show performance metrics, alert on availability, […]

IBM MQ Configuration Drift: How to Detect and Prevent It with Infrared360 Configuration drift happens when IBM MQ queue managers, queues, channels, listeners, security records, or other object definitions no longer match the approved baseline.
In IBM MQ environments, configuration drift can create operational risk, security exposure, compliance gaps, and avoidable troubleshooting work. A queue depth change, missing backout queue, altered server connection channel, different TLS setting, or inconsistent authority record […]

Middleware Performance: What Experienced Teams Monitor, Manage, and Automate
Middleware performance is not just about whether servers are up or whether an application appears available. For teams responsible for IBM MQ, ActiveMQ, Kafka, IBM App Connect Enterprise, application servers, and related integration infrastructure, middleware performance is about whether messages, events, transactions, and dependent services are flowing as expected.
A queue can be “up” while messages are aging. A […]
