By default, the Monitor Agent starts monitoring all GroupWise agents (Post Office Agents, Message Transfer Agents, and Internet Agents) in your GroupWise system, based on the information from a domain database (wpdomain.db). You might not want to continue monitoring all agents. Under certain circumstances, you might want to monitor agents that are not part of your local GroupWise system.
You can configure the Monitor Agent to stop and start monitoring selected agents as needed.
In the Monitor Agent console, click Preferences > Filter.
The Filtered Out list displays all agents that are not currently being monitored.
Select one or more agents in the Monitored list, and then click Remove to move them to the Filtered Out list.
Click OK.
Agents in the Filtered Out list are not monitored and do not appear in the Monitor Agent console. To start monitoring a filtered-out agent, move it back to the Monitored list.
You can start monitoring an individual agent anywhere in your GroupWise system or another GroupWise system.
In the Monitor Agent console, click Preferences > Add Agents.
Type the IP address of the server where the agent runs.
Type the port number the agent listens on.
Click Add.
The agent is added to the list of monitored agents.
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.
In the Monitor Agent console, click Preferences > Add Agents.
Type the IP address of the new server, and then click Add.
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.
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.
In the Monitor Agent console, click Preferences > Add Agents.
Type the subnet portion of the IP addresses of the new servers, and 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.
To stop monitoring agents that you have manually added to the Monitor Agent’s configuration:
In the Monitor Agent console, click Preferences > Remove Agents.
Select the agents you want to remove, and then click Remove.
