How can I monitor a Lotus Domino mail server with PRTG?

Votes:

0

I need to monitor a Lotus Domino mailserver, outbound mail queue. I can't figure out how to do that. It's a mail database on the server that hold the queue. The server is running Windows server 2003 and Lotus Domino 8.5.2.

Other opportunities monitoring Lotus Domino will be the next step.

I wrote a short guide, if anyone struggles to get the monitoring working:

Lotus Monitoring

  1. Log in to the Domino Server you want to monitor.
  2. Fill in the SNMP – Service Community, including the recipient PRTG Host.
  3. Open CMD net stop snmp net stop lnsnmp
  4. Navigate to the folder of the domino installation (e.g., c:\domino) LNSNMP –Sc (Case Sensitive)
  5. Run the following: net start snmp net start lnsnmp
  6. Now insert the following command into the domino command shell. You need to put this command into the domino-config, otherwise the command wont work after a reboot. load quryset
  7. The MIB-File is placed in the directory /Domino and named Domino.mib
For PRTG:

Start Paessler's MIB-Importer:

File | Import Mib File | Choose the MIB File | ok
File | Save for PRTG Network Monitor | Rename | ok

Last but not least create an SNMP Library Sensor and check the values you want to monitor

German:

Auf den zu überwachenden Domino-Server aufschalten SNMP – Dienst Community eintragen, inklusive empfangenden Host Cmd öffnen:

net stop snmp
net stop lnsnmp

In das Installationsverzeichnis von Domino navigieren

LNSNMP –Sc (Case Sensitive)

net start snmp
net start lnsnmp

In die Konsole muss folgender Befehl eingetragen werden: (für eine dauerhafte Implementierung muss der Befehl in die Config eingetragen des Dominoservers eingetragen werden):

load quryset

Die MIB-Datei befindet sich im /Domino Ordner und heißt Domino.mib

Für PRTG:

Paessler MIB-Importer starten
File | Import Mib File | Mib File auswählen | ok
File | Save for PRTG Network Monitor | benennen | ok

Im PRTG nun einen SNMP-Bibliothek-Sensor hinzufügen und dort die gewünschten Einträge Auswählen

Kind regards

Monitoring Lotus Domino via SNMP

Please check if you can use the Lotus Domino SNMP Agent. This seems to be an extra piece of software. Please find more information on the IBM website: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/domhelp/v8r0/topic/com.ibm.help.domino.admin.doc/DOC/H_DOMINO_SNMP_AGENT_OVER.html

PRTG and Traps

PRTG can receive SNMP Traps and include the values into its monitoring. You will need the right OID of the SNMP Agent to configure the trap receiver in PRTG.

For more information, please see How can I use PRTG’s trap receiver and what are its limitations?

We don't use SNMP on the individual servers, but only on the hub in our DMZ. Lotus Domino uses port 1352 for the clients to connect. Is there any special method how we can monitor that and get the right replies? Port sensor is OK, but what if the Domino server isn't able to give a correct answer or replies some error message.
