You can monitor accumulated message traffic statistics for each IMTA channel queue (includes user-created channels). At the same time, you can compare statistics accumulated for one channel queue to statistics accumulated for the IMTA.
The queue monitor accumulates the following statistics:
|
|
Received messages - Number of messages that have entered the channel queue |
|
|
Submitted messages - Number of messages that have exited from one channel queue and entered another channel queue |
|
|
Delivered messages - Number of messages that have exited the channel queue |
|
|
Stored messages - Number of messages currently stored in the channel queue |
|
|
Received volume - Volume of messages that have entered the channel queue measured in kilobytes |
|
|
Submitted volume - Volume of messages that have exited from the channel queue and entered another channel queue measured in kilobytes |
|
|
Delivered volume - Volume of messages that have exited from the channel queue measured in kilobytes |
|
|
Stored volume - Volume of messages currently stored in the channel queue measured in kilobytes |
