I was looking to test out my Python code and was checking the PCF messages produces – or in my case was not being produced. I did some playing around.

There is a DIS QMGR EVENT command (not eventS) this gave me

QMNAME(QMA) AUTHOREV(DISABLED)
CHLEV(DISABLED) CMDEV(DISABLED)
CONFIGEV(ENABLED) INHIBTEV(DISABLED)
LOCALEV(DISABLED) LOGGEREV(DISABLED)
PERFMEV(ENABLED) REMOTEEV(DISABLED)
SSLEV(DISABLED) STRSTPEV(ENABLED)

So the reason I was not getting many events is they mostly turned off.

I used runmqsc and exploited the command-complete facility.
I typed alter qmgr chl and pressed tab for it to complete it ALTER QMGR CHLEV(ENABLED). I then enter AUTHO and pressed tab and so on.
Then, when the command was completed, I pressed enter – only for it to complain about LOGGEREV was only valid when using linear logging.

The whole command was

ALTER QMGR CHLEV(ENABLED) AUTHOREV(ENABLED) CONFIGEV(ENABLED) INHIBTEV(ENABLED) LOCALEV(ENABLED) PERFMEV(ENABLED) REMOTEEV(ENABLED) SSLEV(ENABLED) STRSTPEV(ENABLED)
