Want to be able to configured an availabilityZone for all queue managers on a server

Customers are looking for an easy way to setup Availability Zones for their IBM MQ Queue Managers.   The environment is setup with RDQM.  Therefore, they want to see the Queue Managers independently from the Host Agent.   And, they want to put all of the Queue Managers that are running on a server into a single Zone.

 

That can be done today by specifying the following syntax in the configuration.yaml file:                                                                                   

com.instana.plugin.ibmmq:
 enabled: true
 poll_rate: 60

support_ha: false
 queueManagers:
   QMMFTD01:
     channel: 'MFT.SVRCONN'
     username: 'mqm'
     password: 'Ams49test'
     availabilityZone: 'IBM MQ Custom Zone' # Availability Zone (Optional)

 

If they use this configuration, they MUST specify an Availability Zone for every Queue Manager.  There are many queue managers running on each server.  They would prefer to set an availabiltyZone at the top level of the configuration.yaml.    For example, something like this:

com.instana.plugin.ibmmq:
 enabled: true
 poll_rate: 60

 availabilityZone: <Zone Name>

support_ha: false
