Need the ability to monitor IBM MQ Alias Queues

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

The customer uses Alias Queues for the IBM MQ applications.   Within Instana, Alias Queues are not monitored.   So, the customer has no visibility into what's happening within their applications.  For example, when they look at the Traces going through MQ, they will see that a message is PUT or GET to/from the queue.  The Queue Name that is called out in the Trace is the Alias Queue.  This causes a couple of problems.   First, it breaks the correlation from the Trace back to the Infrastructure.  The trace indicates "Infrastructure Correlation Missing".   In addition, the customer can't navigate to the Infrastructure and find the Queue because the Alias Queues aren't monitored.

 

This makes it nearly impossible to debug and diagnose their problems.   They see that a transaction is slow or failing, but they have no way to determine what is going wrong within MQ because they don't know which Queue is in use.  They can only see the Alias Queue, but we don't monitor that.  They are forced to log into MQ and find the mapping between the Queues and Alias queues.
