MSGMON Configuration And Command Examples

To verify that your TIBCO Messaging Monitoring Core installation is ready to monitor, perform the following general tasks and confirmations.

Before you begin

The examples below assume you are in the monitoring bin directory. Use the appropriate cd command below to switch to that directory if needed.

Linux/macOS:

cd /opt/tibco/msgmon/bin

Windows:

cd C:\tibco\msgmon\bin

Note:

Starting with TIBCO Messaging Monitor Core version 1.1.0, Python is no longer used. The Python control scripts have been removed and replaced by the commands detailed here.

Start Messaging Monitoring Core

To start monitoring:

  1. If you use the supplied infrastructure_config.yaml file, specify the homepath for Grafana in the file.

  2. Run the start command.

    • Linux/macOS: 

      ./msgmon start -infra-config ../config/infrastructure_config.yaml

    • Windows:

      msgmon start -infra-config ..\config\infrastructure_config.yaml

You see an output similar to the following:
