Managing queue capacity in a messaging queue in a computing environment

摘要

A method and system for automatically managing alarms in an environment where a period of time could pass before the cause of the alarm is addressed is explained herein. The method includes automatically increasing the maximum depth of a queue (i.e. the maximum capacity of a queue to store data) in response to an indication that the current depth of the queue exceeds a high-level alarm setting. Upon determining that the depth of the queue has fallen below the original high-level alarm setting, the maximum depth of the queue is automatically returned to the original maximum setting. In addition, a low-level alarm may be disabled in conjunction with increasing the maximum depth and reactivated upon returning the maximum queue depth to the original setting.
