  This documentation provides information about the administration tools for managing and monitoring servers and databases.
  - Administration tools
    Topics in this section describe the tools you can use to administer a Domino® server.
  - Monitoring
    This section describes how to use the tools and features that help you monitor a Domino® system.
    - Monitoring the Domino® system
      You can monitor system activity and platform use using one of three tools -- the Domino® Administrator, the Web Administrator, or the server console.
    - Server Health Monitor
      You can monitor and troubleshoot performance issues using a number of different tools.
    - Domino® domain monitoring (DDM)
      Domino® domain monitoring (DDM) provides one location in the Domino Administrator client that you can use to view the overall status of multiple servers across one or more domains, and then use the information provided by DDM to quickly resolve problems.
    - The Domino® SNMP Agent
      The Domino® SNMP Agent enhances the monitoring and control features of Domino by enabling third-party management stations, which use industry standard SNMP, to manage aspects of the Domino server.
      - Domino® SNMP Agent architecture
        Domino® SNMP Agent services are provided by two types of programs.
      - About the Domino® Management Information Base (MIB)
        The Domino® Management Information Base (MIB) covers only the Domino server and not any other HCL or third-party server add-ins.
      - Special considerations for partitioned servers
        There are several different ways to use the Domino® SNMP Agent on a partitioned server. If you plan to use SNMP on a partitioned server, this section provides information you need to know prior to using SNMP with Domino.
      - Configuring the Domino® SNMP Agent
        To configure the Domino® SNMP Agent, you perform a procedure specific to each platform and then complete the configuration by performing another procedure that applies to all platforms.
      - Using the Domino® MIB with your SNMP management station
        To access any Domino® server's objects in the Domino MIB, you must load the Domino MIB on your SNMP management station.
      - Troubleshooting the Domino® SNMP Agent
        SNMP agent troubleshooting tips are presented here.
    - Overview of server maintenance
      As a Domino® administrator, a major part of your job is maintaining each server that you administer.
    - Tools for mail monitoring
      Domino® provides three tools that you can use to monitor mail. Message tracking allows you to track specific mail messages to determine if the intended recipients received them. Mail usage reports provide the information you need to resolve mail problems and improve the efficiency of your mail network. Mail probes test and gather statistics on mail routes.
    - Monitoring directory assistance
      You can monitor directory assistance by using Show Xdir command to display information about all the directories a server uses for directory services. You can also view directory assistance statistics.
    - Monitoring databases
      You can monitor database activity, replication, and document deletions.
    - Monitoring a cluster
      Domino® provides several ways to find out what is happening in a cluster and make adjustments to keep the cluster running smoothly and efficiently, so that no server is overloaded. You can monitor failover, workload balancing, and cluster replication to see how efficiently the cluster is running.
    - Monitoring slow or unresponsive servers with the Domino® Diagnostic Probe
      Use the Domino® Diagnostic Probe (DDP), a Java™ utility provided by Support, to monitor servers that have been intermittently slow or unresponsive. The probe is a Java process (dbopen.jar) that runs in the background. The utility probes a specific Domino server over time by invoking database open transactions. If the probe detects a slow response, it will invoke Notes® System Diagnostic (NSD) to gather diagnostic data. This data is used by Support to troubleshoot and determine the cause or causes of the performance degradation.
    - Monitoring quality of service
      Quality of Service, or QoS, is designed to react to the general operation of a Domino® server in order to keep that server functioning reliably and always available. If QoS detects that a server is not responding or hung, QoS probing can be configured to email an administrator about the problem and/or automatically terminate the server and restart it. QoS log information can also be useful for analysis by Support.
    - Understanding Quality of Service (QoS) behavior and logging
      This topic covers details of QoS including server and server controller behavior during kill events, failover trigger, and log file content.
  - Managing servers
    Manage Domino® servers by performing any of these tasks.
  - Managing databases
    Topics in this section describe how to set up and manage Domino® databases.
- Tuning
  Use this information to improve HCL Domino® server, Domino Web server, and messaging performance through the use of resource balancing and activity trends, Server.Load commands, advanced database properties, cluster statistics, and the Server Health Monitor.
- Troubleshooting
  This section describes how to find and solve problems with HCL Domino® server and Administrator client.

About the Domino® Management Information Base (MIB)

The Domino® Management Information Base (MIB) covers only the Domino® server and not any other HCL or third-party server add-ins.

The branch (object ID) is named:

iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.lotus.notes

and is numbered 1.3.6.1.4.1.334.72.

The main branches in numeric order are as follows:

lnInfo -- Information about the server provided by the QuerySet server add-in task. This includes values and sub-branches. The main sub-branch is lnStats, which contains the Domino® statistics organized into sub-branches that mirror the Domino® statistics branches. For example, the Server.* Domino® statistics are in the lnServer sub-branch. Comments with these objects, beginning with the string "--<<", indicate which Domino® statistic an object is derived from.
lnControl -- Values provided by LNSNMP including those monitoring and controlling the server.
lnInterceptor -- An internal branch relating to the Event Interceptor add-in task.
lnUnix -- An internal branch that supports for NetView® for IBM® AIX®.
lnMPAInfo -- A branch with one value provided by LNSNMP that gives the version of the Domino® SNMP Agent.

Note: Some Domino® statistics are in floating-point format. SNMP version 1 does not support floating-point numbers, truncating these statistics to integers.
