CLUSTERS


Monitoring all the servers in a cluster at the same time
You can use the IBM® Lotus® Domino® server monitor to monitor all the servers in a cluster at once. You can decide what information you want to monitor and how to display that information. You can monitor the cluster while you monitor other Domino servers. To tell Domino which servers to monitor and what information to monitor on each server, you create or customize a monitoring profile.

When you start the server monitor, the Statistic Collector task starts, if it is not already running.

Note The Domino server monitor and monitoring profiles are not available in the Web Administrator.

To start the server monitor manually

1. From the Domino Administrator, click the Server - Monitoring tab.

2. In the "Monitoring profiles" field, select the profile for the cluster you want to monitor. By default, Domino creates a profile for each cluster in the domains you are monitoring.

3. Click the Start button.

Once pressed, the Start button becomes the Stop button.

To start the server monitor automatically when the server starts

1. Choose File - Preferences - Administration Preferences.

2. Click Monitoring.

3. Select "Automatically monitor servers at startup."

4. Make any other changes you want, and then click OK.
