Resolution
You can monitor JBoss Messaging, JBoss HornetQ or JBoss AMQ message queues and topics using Red Hat JBoss Operations Network (ON). Its primary function is to monitor system and application resources and their availabilities, collect metrics and to trigger alerts when defined alert conditions are met. A triggered alert could send an email to a list of email addresses or it could execute resource operations or other JBoss ON command scripts.
You will need to download and install the appropriate JBoss ON Agent Plug-ins for the resource types you are planning on monitoring. For JBoss Messaging or JBoss HornetQ, topic and queue resource types are defined in the Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Management Plug-in Pack. For JBoss AMQ, topic and queue resource types are defined in the Red Hat JBoss AMQ Management Plug-in Pack.
