Understanding the Monitor Agent

Consoles

The Monitor Agent offers three consoles:

Section 58.1, “Monitor Agent Server Console,” on page 965

Section 58.2, “Monitor Agent Web Console,” on page 965

Section 58.3, “Monitor Web Console,” on page 966

For a comparison of the capabilities of the three consoles, see Chapter 62, “Comparing the Monitor

Consoles,” on page 1021

For detailed instructions about installing and starting the GroupWise®Monitor Agent for the first

time, see “Installing GroupWise Monitor” in the GroupWise 7 Installation Guide.

58.1 Monitor Agent Server Console

The Monitor Agent server console is available for the Windows Monitor Agent but not for the Linux

Monitor Agent.

Figure 58-1 Monitor Agent Server Console

All agent configuration tasks can be performed at the Monitor Agent server console, but some

reports are not available.

58.2 Monitor Agent Web Console

The Monitor Agent Web console is platform-independent and can be viewed at the following URL:

http://web_server_address:8200

Figure 58-2 Monitor Agent Web Console

To create the Monitor Agent Web console display, your Web server communicates directly with the

Monitor Agent to obtain agent status information. You must be behind your firewall to use the

Monitor Agent Web console. Because the Linux Monitor Agent does not have a server console, you

use the Monitor Agent Web console in its place on Linux.

The Monitor Agent Web console is divided into the Agent Groups window on the left and the Agent

Status window on the right. Using the Agents Groups window, you can create and manage agent

groups the same as you can at the Monitor Agent server console.

Several Monitor features are available at the Monitor Agent Web console that are not available at the

Monitor Agent server console or the Monitor Web console. These are summarized in Chapter 62,

“Comparing the Monitor Consoles,” on page 1021.

58.3 Monitor Web Console

The Monitor Web console is also platform-independent and can be viewed at the following URLs:

NetWare or

Windows Web

Server:

http://web_server_address/gw/gwmonitor

Linux

Figure 58-3 Monitor Web Console

To create the Monitor Web console display, your Web server communicates with the Monitor

Application (a component of your Web server), which then communicates with the Monitor Agent

to obtain agent status information. This enables the Monitor Web console to be available outside

your firewall, while the Monitor Agent Web console can be used only inside your firewall.

The Monitor Web console is divided into the Agent Groups window on the left and the Agent Status

window on the right. Using the Agents Groups window, you can create and manage agent groups the

same as you can at the Monitor Agent server console.

The Monitor Web console does not include some features that are available at the Monitor Agent

server console and the Monitor Agent Web console. These are summarized in Chapter 62,

“Comparing the Monitor Consoles,” on page 1021.

Configuring the Monitor Agent

For detailed instructions about installing and starting the GroupWise®Monitor Agent for the first

time, see “Installing GroupWise Monitor” in the GroupWise 7 Installation Guide.

The default configuration of the GroupWise®Monitor Agent is adequate to begin monitoring

existing GroupWise agents (Post Office Agents, Message Transfer Agents, Internet Agents, and

WebAccess Agents). You can also customize the configuration to meet your specific monitoring

needs.

On Windows, you configure the Monitor Agent at the Monitor Agent server console on the

Windows server where the Monitor Agent is running.

Figure 59-1 Monitor Agent Server Console on Windows

On Linux, similar functionality is available in your Web browser at the Monitor Agent Web console:

http://localhost:8200.

Section 59.12, “Supporting the GroupWise High Availability Service on Linux,” on page 989

59.1 Selecting Agents to Monitor

By default, the Monitor Agent starts monitoring all GroupWise agents (Post Office Agents, Message

Transfer Agents, Internet Agents, and WebAccess Agents) in your GroupWise system, based on the

information from a domain database (wpdomain.db). You might not want to continue monitoring

all agents. And under certain circumstances, you might want to monitor agents that are not part of

your local GroupWise system.

Section 59.1.3, “Adding All Agents on a Subnet,” on page 971

Section 59.1.4, “Adding an Individual Agent,” on page 972

Section 59.1.5, “Removing Added Agents,” on page 972

59.1.1 Filtering the Agent List

You can configure the Monitor Agent to stop and start monitoring selected agents as needed.

At the Windows Monitor Agent server console:

1Click Configuration > Filter.

On Linux, at the Monitor Agent Web console, click Preferences > Filter.

Configuring the Monitor Agent 971

novdocx (en) 11 December 2007

The Filtered Out list displays all agents that are not currently being monitored.

2Select one or more agents in the Monitored list, then click Remove to move them to the Filtered

Out list.

3Click OK.

Agents in the Filtered Out list are not monitored and do not appear at the Monitor Agent server

console or at the Monitor Agent Web console. To start monitoring a filtered-out agent, move it back

to the Monitored list.

59.1.2 Adding All Agents on a Server

If you add a new server to your GroupWise system or want to monitor agents in a different

GroupWise system, you can easily start monitoring all the agents running on that server.

At the Windows Monitor Agent server console:

1Click Configuration > Add from Machine.

On Linux, at the Monitor Agent Web console, click Preferences > Add Agents.

2Type the IP address of the new server, then click OK.

All GroupWise agents on the new server are added to the list of monitored agents.

If the new server is part of your local GroupWise system, you can simply restart the Monitor Agent

and it picks up all new agents in your system.

59.1.3 Adding All Agents on a Subnet

If you add several new servers to your GroupWise system or want to monitor agents in a different

GroupWise system, you can easily start monitoring all the agents running on the same subnet.

At the Windows Monitor Agent server console:

1Click Configuration > Add from Network.

972 GroupWise 7 Administration Guide

novdocx (en) 11 December 2007

On Linux, at the Monitor Agent Web console, click Preferences > Add Agents.

2Type the subnet portion of the IP addresses of the new servers, then click OK.

All GroupWise agents on the subnet are added to the list of monitored agents.

If the new servers are part of your local GroupWise system, you can simply restart the Monitor

Agent and it picks up all new agents in your system.

59.1.4 Adding an Individual Agent

You can start monitoring an individual agent anywhere in your GroupWise system or another

GroupWise system.

At the Windows Monitor Agent server console:

1Click Configuration > Add Agent.

On Linux, at the Monitor Agent Web console, click Preferences > Add Agents.

2Type the IP address of the server where the agent runs.

3Type the port number the agent listens on.

4Click OK.

The agent is added to the list of monitored agents.

59.1.5 Removing Added Agents

To stop monitoring agents that you have manually added to the Monitor Agent’s configuration:

At the Windows Monitor Agent server console:

1Click Configuration > Remove Agents.

On Linux, at the Monitor Agent Web console, click Preferences > Remove Agents.

2Select the agents you want to remove, then click Remove.

3Click OK.
