Summary
This post introduces a new tutorial focusing on OpenTelemetry (OTel) for debugging IBM MQ messaging applications, specifically highlighting its use for tracing message flow. It also links to related content on MQ console debugging, performance metrics (mqperfck), JMS Request-Response considerations, containerized MQ testing (Testcontainers, WSL2), and common MQ error scenarios (MQRC 2035, MQRC_FORMAT_ERROR). The primary contribution is the emphasis on OTel for enhanced observability.
