Domino Monitoring for Dummies (w/PDF)
Category Administration IBM/Lotus Domino
Last night was the DCNUG.org April meeting with a turnout of around 20 people at The National Geographic Society. I presented a short piece on monitoring Domino servers, and I might expand it (e.g., how to get create a historical health-statistic chart). I've placed the PDF on line at YuDu.com. It's a short, quick overview intended for support admins and part-time admins.
The big draw was from IBM's own Maurice Cogdell with his presentation of Quickr. He had the latest presentation material and was even able to demo Quickr in use. There was a lot of interest in the Quickr "lite" release, which has been titled "Express," "Personal" or "Entry." It looks like IBM is doing the same clever (and effective) marketing for Quickr that they used with Sametime: anyone with a Lotus Notes client can have limited use of Quickr at no additional cost.
If you are seriously considering Quickr, then I highly recommend the outstanding training (and evaluation) on-line, self-paced Quickr course from IBM. It's free, and you get to play with a real Quickr server.
We also took a look at the RedHat OpenClient which comes with a Notes Client. It's distributed as a Live-CD (even runs on my Dell D630), so it's a perfect "proof-of-concept."
Kevin Pettitt (LotusGuru.com) touched on two presentations: his SuperNTF open-source powerhouse application, and an overview of Chris Blatnick's outstanding material for building the UI of a Notes application (InterfaceMatters.com). Kevin promises to have an updated release of SuperNTF within the next two weeks.
The next meeting will be in June, and it looks as though we will have Sean Burgess (phigsaidwhat.com) and an IBM presentation on Lotus Forms. More details will be announced, as we get closer to the date.
