Chapter 1. Overview
Chapter 1. Overview AMQ Broker is a high-performance messaging implementation based on ActiveMQ Artemis. It has fast, journal-based message persistence and supports multiple languages, protocols, and platforms. AMQ Broker provides multiple interfaces for managing and interacting with your broker instances, such as a management console, management APIs, and a command-line interface. In addition, you can monitor broker performance by collecting runtime metrics, configure brokers to proactively monitor for problems such as deadlock conditions, and interactively check the health of brokers and queues. This guide provides detailed information about typical broker management tasks such as: Upgrading your broker instances Using the command-line interface and management API Checking the health of brokers and queues Collecting broker runtime metrics Proactively monitoring critical broker operations 1.1. Supported configurations Refer to the article " Red Hat AMQ 7 Supported Configurations " on the Red Hat Customer Portal for current information regarding AMQ Broker supported configurations. 1.2. Document conventions This document uses the following conventions for the sudo command, file paths, and replaceable values. The sudo command In this document, sudo is used for any command that requires root privileges. You should always exercise caution when using sudo , as any changes can affect the entire system. For more information about using sudo , see Managing sudo access . About the use of file paths in this document In this document, all file paths are valid for Linux, UNIX, and similar operating systems (for example, /home/... ). If you are using Microsoft Windows, you should use the equivalent Microsoft Windows paths (for example, C:\Users\... ). Replaceable values This document sometimes uses replaceable values that you must replace with values specific to your environment. Replaceable values are lowercase, enclosed by angle brackets ( < > ), and are styled using italics and monospace font. Multiple words are separated by underscores ( _ ) . For example, in the following command, replace <install_dir> with your own directory name. USD <install_dir> /bin/artemis create mybroker
<install_dir> /bin/artemis create mybroker
