I have just enabled Message Tracking on an R6.5.6 server.

All I had to do was to enable message tracking in the server’s configuration document.
I added LocalDomainServers to “Allowed to track messages” field, but left everything else as is.

I initially got these errors when the task loaded:

MT Collector: Initialization failed: File does not exist
MT Collector: Unable to use directory e:\Lotus\Domino\Data\mtdata: File does not exist

Earlier today, I was searching for an old product that I used to use called Intelliwatch by a company called Candle.

Apparently, IBM has purchased this and re-branded it as “IBM Tivoli Intelliwatch Pinnacle.”

I found this great article posted on the Domino Power website about What’s new in R7 monitoring or DDM (Domino Domain Monitoring). It’s written about GSX Monitoring, which used to be a competitor of Candle Intelliwatch and theoretically is a competitor to the native R7 DDM.

It’s pretty interesting to see where the monitoring function has gone, and it’s got some nice reference links. It’s a little old, but it’s worth a read.

What’s really new with Domino Domain Monitoring?
