How do I grant my users access to IBM MQ monitoring?
This guide teaches how to configure Nodinite to use monitoring data from your IBM MQ Queue managers and let responsible users gain access using a Monitor View
This guide assumes you have already successfully managed to install the agent and that you have one or more IBM MQ Queue managers deployed
Example #1: Hello IBM MQ
