Monitoring Features
The Nodinite Message Queueing Agent monitors the following resources:
- ActiveMQ Brokers
- The server(s) and core services

- Age verification (warning/error) – Set the maximum allowed age for messages on the queue

You can individually fine-tune the monitoring thresholds per queue for maximum flexibility.
