Day-to-Day Metrics of Queues in Solace Software PubSub event broker 10.4.1.121

Is it possible to get the metrics of Queues based on date range within the CLI or Solace UI.

Nope, you'll need to leverage a time-series database for gathering SEMP metrics and putting them in there. I really like InfluxDB, but you'll need to build the SEMP scripting / collector for it. We have an open-source Community project for Prometheus that is active and people seem to like: https://github.com/solacecommunity/solace-prometheus-exporter

If you really don't want to use any external capability, you can always blank out your queue stats once a day, then you'll only see the # of messages, # of bytes, etc. through the queue since you last reset. In CLI:

enable
clear queue * message-vpn * stats

In PubSub+ Manager UI, I think you'd have to do it queue-by-queue.

Hi @Aaron,

Thanks for the response.

currently, we are clearing stats and checking the metrics whenever needed.

Update: I made a typo in my CLI above… I had clear stats queue * stats and it should be clear queue * stats. My mistake.

Also, if you wanted to maybe do this in a cron job, you could use SEMPv1 to remotely clear these stats (at midnight or whatever):

curl -u admin:admin http://localhost:8080/SEMP -d '<rpc><clear><queue><name>*</name><vpn-name>*</vpn-name><stats/></queue></clear></rpc>'
