|
agents directory
On a Linux server, the Monitor Agent is always installed in subdirectories of /opt/novell/groupwise/agents.
bin directory
The bin directory holds GroupWise executable files.
gwmon file
The gwmon file is the Monitor Agent executable. You run this executable file to start the Monitor Agent. See "Starting the Monitor Agent" in "Monitor" in the GroupWise 6.5 Administration Guide.
share directory
The share directory holds agent startup files and files that are used by the agent consoles and Web consoles.
gwmonitor directory
The gwmonitor directory holds files used by the Monitor Application.
gwmonitor.cfg file
The gwmonitor.cfg file holds the same configuration information that is stored on the Monitor Application object (named GroupWiseMonitor) in eDirectory. For more information, see "Configuring the Monitor Application" in "Monitor" in the GroupWise 6.5 Administration Guide.
default directory
The default directory holds boilerplate versions of the gwmonitor.cfg file and the monitor.xml file.
logs directory
The logs subdirectory holds Monitor Application log files. For more information, see "Modifying Monitor Application Log Settings" in "Monitor" in the GroupWise 6.5 Administration Guide.
/etc/init.d directory
The /etc/init.d directory is the standard location for Linux startup scripts.
grpwise-ma file
The grpwise-ma script is created automatically during installation. You can use the script to start, restart, stop, and display status information about the Monitor Agent. For more information about starting the Monitor Agent, see "Starting the Monitor Agent" in "Monitor" in the GroupWise 6.5 Administration Guide.
rc3.d directory
The rc3.d directory holds symbolic links to scripts that you want your Linux server to run when it is booted to run level 3 (multi-user; boots to a text mode login prompt without The X Window System). The symbolic link to the grpwise-ma script is S99grpwise-ma. It is created if you choose during installation to have the Monitor Agent start automatically when the server boots.
rc5.d directory
The rc5.d directory holds symbolic links to scripts that you want your Linux server to run when it is booted to run level 5 (multi-user; boots to The X Window System login dialog box). The symbolic link to the grpwise-ma script is S99grpwise-ma. It is created if you choose during installation to have the Monitor Agent start automatically when the server boots.
/var/log/novell/groupwise directory
The /var/log directory is the standard location for log files on Linux. All GroupWise agent log files are created in the novell/groupwise subdirectory.
gwmon directory
Within the gwmon directory, the Monitor Agent creates two different types of log files. The mmddmon.nnn log files inform you of its processing and any problems it encounters. The mmddhist.nnn log files record dumps of all MIB values gathered during each poll cycle. For more information about log files, see "Configuring Monitor Agent Log Settings" in "Monitor" in the GroupWise 6.5 Administration Guide.
The first two digits of the filename represent the month; the next two digits represent the day of the month. The three-digit extension is a sequence number for multiple log files created on the same day. For example, 0518mon.002 is the second Monitor Agent log file created on May 18.
Windows Installation Directory
Additional Monitor files are integrated into your Web server to support the Monitor Web console. For an example, see Apache/Tomcat Installation.
c:\gwmon
On a Windows server, the Monitor Agent can be installed in any directory you choose. The default location is c:\gwmon. The Monitor Agent desktop icon is set up to include the full path to whatever directory you choose.
gwenv1a.dll file
The gwenv1a.dll file is the GroupWise Agent Engine, a program that is shared by all GroupWise agents. It provides the following services to the agents:
- Database management
- File operations
- Message handling
- Thread management
- Semaphores (file/record locking)
- Date/time services
The first agent started on a server automatically starts the GroupWise Agent Engine DLL.
gwmon.exe file
The gwmon.exe file is the Monitor Agent program. You run this executable file to start the Monitor Agent. See "Starting the Monitor Agent" in "Monitor" in the GroupWise 6.5 Administration Guide.
monitor.xml
The monitor.xml file stores the Monitor Agent configuration information that you establish in the Monitor Agent console, as described in "Configuring the Monitor Agent" in "Monitor" in the GroupWise 6.5 Administration Guide.
gwmonxx.dll files
The gwmonxx.dll files contain all language-specific information for the WebAccess Agent.The last two characters xx are a language code.
gwsnmp.dll file
The gwsnmp.dll file provides interaction with the Windows SNMP Service, so that the Monitor Agent can throw SNMP traps. See "Configuring SNMP Trap Notification of Agent Problems" in "Monitor" in the GroupWise 6.5 Administration Guide
x*10.dll files
The x*10.dll programs provide XIS capability for the GroupWise agents, so that you can create XML documents to monitor and change the agents as needed.
gwmon.xml file
The gwmon.xml file is a specialized agent configuration file for use in the XIS environment.
monwork directory
The monwork directory is used for temporary files used in calculating system performance, as described in "Measuring Agent Performance" in "Monitor" in the GroupWise 6.5 Administration Guide
