For detailed instructions about installing and starting the GroupWise Monitor Agent for the first time, see Installing GroupWise Monitor
in the GroupWise 8 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.
