The following events may be logged for each queue manager on the MQ Appliance:

Authority (AUTHOREV), Inhibit (INHIBITEV), Local (LOCALEV), Remote (REMOTEEV), Start and stop (STRSTPEV), Performance (PERFMEV), Command (CMDEV), Channel (CHLEV), Channel auto definition (CHADEV), SSL (SSLEV), Configuration (CONFIGEV)

To enable logging for a queue manager, enter the following from the MQ Appliance CLI for each event for which you wish to enable logging:

To access the MQ Appliance CLI, enter the following:
mqcli

runmqsc [queue mgr name]
ALTER QMGR [event name](ENABLED)
end

Note: Any MQ monitoring solution that connects to MQ as a client may be used to monitor event queues.
