With Dynatrace you can get observability for the MSMQ without touching any code thanks to auto-instrumentation. Seamless end-to-end traces for connected producer and consumer services will help you to better understand the potential anomalies that may impact your mission-critical applications. Comprehensive metrics give you insights about the performance of queues.

If your MSMQ is running directly on a virtual machine, install OneAgent on that virtual machine to get started.

If your MSMQ is running as a workload in Kubernetes, set up Dynatrace on Kubernetes.

If your MSMQ is running as a workload in OpenShift, set up Dynatrace on OpenShift.

Activate the following OneAgent feature for MSMQ to get full tracing insight:

• .NET messaging MSMQ

Activate the MSMQ Extension to get additional metrics, a custom MSMQ dashboard, and the ability to view MSMQ instances and queues on a Unified Analysis page. Metrics include:

• Messages in Queue (MSMQ)
• Bytes in Queue (MSMQ)

Activate log monitoring to get full log insight.

• End-to-end, trace connected producer and consumer services end-to-end
• Troubleshoot service problems on code-level
• Identify message processing anomalies quickly
• Monitor the performance of queues
