I have several distributed JMS queues on a Weblogic Cluster (of 12 JVMs). Elastic APM Java Agent categorizes each member queue of a distributed queue as a separate transaction. Its using the fully-qualified queue name as the transaction name. Is there a way for me to group transactions across all members of a distributed queue under a single transaction name?

Example of a fully-qualified queue name:

## JMS RECEIVE from queue OMSServer-jms!OMSJms\_11@OMSRequestBridgeQueue

## JMS RECEIVE from queue OMSServer-jms!OMSJms\_12@OMSRequestBridgeQueue

## JMS RECEIVE from queue OMSServer-jms!OMSJms\_13@OMSRequestBridgeQueue

## JMS RECEIVE from queue OMSServer-jms!OMSJms\_14@OMSRequestBridgeQueue

I would like to group all these transaction under the name " JMS RECEIVE from queue OMSServer-jms@OMSRequestBridgeQueue"

I tried using the "transaction\_name\_groups" option but it doesn't seem to be working for JMS.

It should work...  
I just tried it out with our JMS tests and it worked exactly as expected for me.  
Try setting `transaction_name_groups=JMS RECEIVE from queue OMSServer-jms*@OMSRequestBridgeQueue`
