With Opentelemetry, as work flows through a system, it sends “I am here” data back to a collector, which can process it, and pass it on to other tools to display the information on graphical dashboards.

I wanted to use Opentelemetry with MQ.

There is documentation on the internet explaining how to save (share) dashboards.

I am collecting Opentelemetry data from z/OS and Linux, unfortunately the clocks on the two systems are not synchronised.

I had a query sum (rate(traces_span_metrics_duration_milliseconds_bucket[1m]) ) by(le) / sum(rate(traces_span_metrics_duration_milliseconds_count[1m]) ) and it returned no data.

I had a query sum (rate(traces_span_metrics_duration_milliseconds_bucket[1m]) ) by(le) / sum(rate(traces_span_metrics_duration_milliseconds_count[1m]) ) and it returned no data.

I was recently asked, what is the simplest configuration of certificates on z/OS to get MQ AMS working.

When using MQ AMS to encrypt MQ messages, it has been very frustrating to get messages like CSQ0217E %MQPA CSQ0COPN Failed to process object ‘recipient public key certificate in recipient keyring’ and not know what the problem is.

There are many moving parts for AMS, and it is easy to get it wrong.

I had been using Prometheus to display Opentelemetry data from MQ on z/OS, but was having problems getting it to display what I wanted.
