Total Bytes Received not to be reset

We need to capture the total bytes received by an MQ channel. BytesReceived parameter in MQ gives us just that. However , when ITCAM collects it ,it resets it per interval which is 5 minutes by default rendering the parameter unusable. Please either don't reset or implement another parameter that is not reset.

    Hi @Ravikumar. Thanks. I have already written in the idea that I am aware of "Bytes Received" and it does capture exactly what I need MQ side. However , ITCAM also resets that every interval (default is 5 minutes) so makes it again unusable. As this value keeps growing MQ side and captures the total bytes , i wonder if ITCAM simply shouldn't reset it and should keep it as is? This is what MQ product itself intends to show hence the reset from ITCAM is sort of ruining it. Let me know. Thanks.

    We have reviewed the source code for the "Channel Statistics (QMCHANS)" attribute group. Unfortunately, it is not feasible to capture the "Total Bytes Received" for "Channel Statistics" attribute group. This attribute group only captures the data for current(default is 5 min) interval and does not provide the total values(bytes received) since the channel started.

    However, customer can use "Channel Status" attribute group to capture the "Total Bytes Received". This attribute group includes the "Bytes Received" attribute, which captures the total bytes received since the channel started.

    Bytes Received - Number of bytes that are received. The valid format is an integer.

    Please refer below document for more details. https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/iad/7.2.1?topic=attributes-channel-status

    Please let us know if it meets your requirements.
