metricset not loading about mq-metric-samples HOT 4 CLOSED

I don't understand what you are asking. You say "different" but don't say what where you get the _total name from.

I configured Metricbeat 7.9.2 and enabled the IBM-MQ Metricbeat module. When I check the documentation their metricset(qmgr) shows all of the fields ending with _total. I also checked the module's dashboard for Kibana are using the same fields. Right now the dashboards don't show any values because the configured name is different.

Thanks for your quick replies!

This package is not directly related to the MetricBeat solution. That package appears to building on, and documented, assuming the use of, the metric collector in the mq-container image which (although it in turn was based on an very early version of this repo) uses a different approach for creating the full metric names, based on the descriptions provided by the queue manager subscription metadata - what comes out of the qmgr is not directly usable as a metric name for various reasons.

So it's not surprising to see slightly different metric names as there are slightly different heuristics.

You can see how this package reformats the name in the source file at the formatDescription function.

That means the collectors here will often have a _count suffix instead of a _total. Any imported dashboards should be easily modifiable to pick up the different metric names.
