I found a lot for my own Prometheus exporter in:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ibm-mq/9.1?topic=java-mqconstants

Is has a lot, and it is not the most easy to work with. I think it is the mainframe lecagy that makes it complex

HI @ouwe-knutselaar. Sorry, in the Given link i didn't find any Metrics related to oldest messages age. in AIX Prometheus exporter endpoint i found metrics like this "mqobject_queue_queue_max_depth_messages".

I am looking for the metrics like this(mqobject_queue_queue_max_depth_messages) to oldest message age also, In the end point page. But i didn't find it in endpoint page.

What you also could do is to grab a metric of the number of messages sent or received. The moment that the line is flat you know that this was the last moment of trnasport.

Found this constant in the documentation: MQIACF_OLDEST_MSG_AGE How can I use the MQConstants.lookup with it?
