Monitori
ng the gateway
The gatew
ay server plays a critical role in transferring messages to the RISS archive. Under normal
circums
tances, transfers occur without incident, but in any complex network there is always the possibility
that unanticipated problems can come up.
If undetected, a backup of messages on the gateway ser ver can cause a backup of m essages on the
production mail servers. Therefore, it is important that you m onitor the gateway server for problems.
Domino provides a variet y of built-in monitoring tools that work on their own or in combination with
network management products like HP OpenView. Domino’s internal statistic monitors for Disk.C.Free,
Mail.Dead, Mail.Hold. Mail.TotalFailures, and Mail.TotalPending are particularly useful indicators of the
state of the gateway server.
Refer to IBM Lotus Software’s Domino Administration help documentation topics “Monitoring the
Domino system,” “C reating a statistic event generator,” and “Platform statistics.” Also refer to equivalent
documentation for any management products that are used in the network.
Installing and configuring the Lotus Notes plug-in
You are responsible for installing the Lotus Notes plug-in file nHPClient.dll on every Lotus Notes
user’s client. It is not installed on any server. On the client machine, it is placed in the Lotus Notes
program directory (for example, C:\Program Files\Lotus Notes) . An automated deployment
procedu re for installing the client plug-in is provided.
Installation of the plug-in adds three entries to the notes.ini file. In most cases, this file is located
in the same directory as nHPClient.dll, but the location can var y accord ing to the options chosen
during Notes client installation.
