ADMINISTERING

Enabling statistic reporting in the Monitoring Results database

One way to monitor what is happening in a cluster is to collect statistics in the Monitoring Results database. You can then view this information from the Domino® Administrator or in the Monitoring Results database itself.

About this task

In order to enable statistic reporting in the Monitoring Results database, you do the following:
Enable statistic report generation
Create a server statistic collection
Start the Statistic Collector task, if it is not already started

Alarm documents are created in the Monitoring Results database (STATREP.NSF) by the Statistic Collector task as part of the statistics monitoring process. Alarm documents show which server the alarm applies to, the date and time the alarm was reported, the severity level of the alarm, the number of times the alarm has been reported, the threshold setting, and the current value of the statistic associated with the alarm. Alarm documents reside in the Monitoring Results -> Alarms view of the Server -> Analysis tab in the Domino Administrator.

Enabling statistic report generation

Procedure

1. From the Domino Administrator, choose File -> Preferences -> Administration Preferences.

2. Click the Statistics tab.

3. Select Generate statistic reports while monitoring or charting statistics.

4. Change any of the other setting you want, and then click OK.

In the Collection alarm interval field, enter the number of minutes between alarms. The minimum is 15.
In the Statistic Filters field, select the types of statistics you do NOT want to collect. By default, the server statistic collection includes all the types of statistics.
