ADMINISTERING
You can use the Domino® server monitor to monitor all the servers in a cluster at once. You can decide what information you want to monitor and how to display that information. You can monitor the 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.
About this task

It is also helpful to monitor OpenRedirects - Failover and OpenRedirects - LoadBalance, as well as OpenRequest - LoadBalanced and OpenRequest - ClusterBusy to track how often failover occurs.
6. Optional: To remove a server from the profile, click the name of the server you want to remove, and then select Monitoring -> Remove Server.
