In ConsoleOne:

1. Create an external GroupWise domain.

   For information about external GroupWise domains, see Creating an External Domain in Connecting to Other GroupWise Systems in the GroupWise 8 Multi-System Administration Guide. By creating an external domain, you enable the Monitor Agent to approximate the round-trip time for e-mail messages to travel to recipients and for status messages to travel back to senders. If you are going to set up gateway accounting reports, as described in Section 65.5, Collecting Gateway Accounting Data, you can use this same external domain for collecting accounting data.

   

2. Name the external domain to reflect its role in your GroupWise system.

   For example, you could name it ExternalMonitorDomain. It does not matter which domain you link the external domain to.

3. Continue with Section 65.4.2, Selecting an MTA to Communicate with the Monitor Agent.

1. In ConsoleOne, click Tools > GroupWise Utilities > Link Configuration.

2. In the Outbound Links From box, double-click the domain whose MTA you want the Monitor Agent to communicate with.

3. Configure the outbound link from the selected MTA to the external Monitor domain to be a TCP/IP link:

   

   1. Click the pencil icon to provide the IP address of the server where the Monitor Agent runs.

   2. Specify a unique port number for the MTA to use to communicate with the Monitor Agent.

   3. Click OK.

4. Click OK to save your changes to the link.

5. Exit the Link Configuration Tool to save the new link configuration information.

6. Continue with Section 65.4.3, Configuring the Monitor Agent for Agent Performance Testing.

At the Windows Monitor Agent server console:

1. Click Configuration > Performance Testing.
