check_activemq_queues

This is a checker which need to be run on your ActiveMQ-Host for persistent Queue length.
It is written in Bash and uses activemq’s commandline-interface ‘activemq-admin bstat’ to gather information. It is called via nrpe. Please also read the sourcecode before using (maybe you have to edit the path to your init-Skript).

You need to edit your /etc/sudoers file and nrpe-config to deliver information to your nagios server.
Also it shall be able to check nonpersistent queues but somehow it is not yet.
This means: right now it only checks persistent queues.

It will be fixed in the future but for me monitoring nonpersistent queues is not a must-have.

An alternate Activemq-Checker (I haven’t tested yet) is these ones:
