Configuring the Domino SNMP Agent for Microsoft Windows
Follow the steps below, once per platform, to configure the IBM® Lotus® Domino® SNMP Agent for Microsoft® Windows®.

Note Before using the Domino SNMP Agent, make sure TCP/IP and SNMP are properly installed and configured on the server. Also, make sure that the Domino executable and the Domino data directories are in your search path.

Tip If you need to add the Windows SNMP Service to your system, be prepared to reinstall any Windows service packs immediately after adding the Windows SNMP Service.

Tip The Windows SNMP Service is configured by double-clicking the Network icon in the Control Panel, then selecting the Services tab, then selecting SNMP Service, and then clicking the Properties button. You will want to configure appropriate trap destinations and community names for your remote management infrastructure.

Note The Domino SNMP Agent is configured as a Windows Service and is set up to run automatically. This means that once the Domino SNMP Agent is configured, it is virtually always running, even when Domino is not. If you later upgrade Domino you should stop the LNSNMP and Windows SNMP Services before beginning the upgrade process.
