The ICM records significant events, such as not being able to find a database, in the Miscellaneous Events view in the log file. You can also view ICM statistics from the Domino® Administrator or the server console. You can use these events and statistics, in conjunction with the Cluster Manager and Cluster Replicator events and statistics, to determine which servers in the cluster are the busiest so you can better balance the workload in the cluster.

Procedure

1. From the Domino Administrator, open theServer pane and select the server that stores the log file you want to view.

2. Click the Server -> Analysis tab.

About this task

You can use the Domino server monitor to monitor all the ICM servers at once. You can decide what information you want to monitor and how to display that information. You can monitor the ICM servers and the entire cluster while you monitor other Domino servers. To tell Domino which servers to monitor and what information to monitor on each server, you create or customize a monitoring profile.

Starting the server monitor

About this task

You can start the server monitor manually while the server is running, or you can start the server monitor automatically when the server starts.

To start the server monitor manually

Procedure

1. From the Domino Administrator, click the Server -> Monitoring tab.

2. In the Monitoring profiles field, select the profile you want.

3. Click the Start button. Once pressed, the Start button becomes the Stop button.

1. Choose File -> Preferences -> Administration Preferences.

2. Click Monitoring.

3. Select Automatically monitor servers at startup.

4. Make any other changes you want, and then click OK.

Creating or customizing a monitoring profile for the ICM

About this task

You can create new profiles and edit existing profiles to customize the tasks and statistics that Domino displays.

Procedure

1. From the Domino Administrator, click the Server -> Monitoring tab.

2. In the Monitoring profiles field, select an existing profile.

Selecting a profile initializes the server monitor if it is not already initialized. You cannot make changes to a profile until the server monitor is initialized.

To monitor the ICM task, select Internet Cluster Manager (ICM).

5. In the Add Statistic(s) to this profile dialog box, expand ICM, select the ICM statistics you want to monitor, and then click OK. For example, the Command - Redirects statistics and the Requests statistics tell you how busy each ICM is. This can help you to balance the workload.

6. Optional: To add a server to the profile, select Monitoring -> Monitor New Server, and then select the server from the list; or drag a server from the Server pane to the server monitor.

7. Optional: To remove a server from the list, click the name of the server you want to remove, and then select Monitoring -> Remove Server.

8. To save your changes to the profile, do one of the following:

• To save this profile as a new profile while also preserving the original profile, choose Monitoring -> Profiles -> Save As, and enter a name for the profile.
• To have this modified profile replace the original profile, you do not have to do anything. The profile is saved automatically when you close the Domino Administrator.
