The GroupWise Monitor Agent cannot be configured from ConsoleOne. However, the information that GroupWise Monitor uses to monitor your GroupWise system is spread all throughout your system. To make all the features of GroupWise Monitor work, you must enable three components:
Enabling HTTP MonitoringThe chapters in this book regarding the GroupWise post office agent (POA), MTA, GroupWise Internet Agent (GWIA), and WebAccess components all tell how to enable HTTP monitoring. To review, see each of those chapters. But in short, here's how you enable HTTP monitoring on all GroupWise agents. Following are the steps for enabling HTTP monitoring of GroupWise agents:
Note Make sure that the HTTP port value is in fact the HTTP port on which your agent is listening. If you are using the /HTTP* switches in the startup files of your agents, you might not be using the same values as are specified in ConsoleOne. If a GroupWise agent has /HTTP* switches in its startup file, those switches take precedence over the HTTP values in ConsoleOne. The GWIA keeps the /HTTP* switches in its GWIA.CFG file; that's where they should be for the GWIA. For all other agents, though, it is not recommended that you use the /HTTP* startup switches in your agent's startup files, because managing them is more difficult than doing the job through ConsoleOne. After you have completed adding HTTP monitoring support, you will need to restart the GroupWise agents for which you enabled HTTP monitoring. Enabling SNMP MonitoringAll the GroupWise agents can be monitored via SNMPin fact, SNMP monitoring is a default on all GroupWise agents. The GroupWise POA can be configured to disable SNMP monitoring, though, so here's how to enable SNMP monitoring on the GroupWise POA. Follow these steps to enable SNMP support for a GroupWise POA:
Note A discussion of SNMP community get strings is outside the scope of this book. You are welcome to change the SNMP Community "Get" String field according to your organization's SNMP guidelines. Enabling MTA Message LoggingTo enable MTA message logging, follow these steps:
Figure 18.5 shows MTA message logging enabled. Figure 18.5. Enabling MTA message logging is accomplished from the Message Log Settings property pageNow the MTA is logging information that is very useful when tracking message flow. These logs are separate from the typical MTA logs. |
