MONITORING

Monitoring server health in the Domino server monitor
You monitor server health in the IBM® Lotus® Domino® server monitor, using monitoring profiles. You must be actively monitoring each server from which you want to collect health statistics. This means that the Domino server monitor must be running for you to collect Server Health statistics. By default, the Domino server monitor includes a set of default server profiles that are created in the Domino Directory. However, you can create custom profiles that monitor the servers, server tasks and health statistics that you choose.

By default, when you start the Domino server monitor, it begins monitoring servers in the last profile that was selected when you shut down the Domino server monitor. The servers in each subsequent profile that you monitor, are added to those servers previously monitored. If you monitor several different profiles in a single session, the number of servers monitored may be quite lengthy, which may impact the performance of the Server Health Monitor. To clear the list of servers monitored, stop and then start the Domino server monitor.

You can also customize which profiles to monitor upon startup, by specifying profiles you want to monitor in the background, no matter which profile was monitored when you shut down the Domino server monitor.

You can perform the following tasks when you work with monitoring profiles:
