I am looking for some ideas … I am interested in making a little tool, that will help with the monitoring of our servers, It would hold data on disk space, mails sent etc.
The idea being to have a little GUI on my desktop with bits that go red!
What I am wondering is, has anyone ideas on
1 . which language would it be easily implemented in (Java, C++, Lotus Script, C, VB, ???).
has Notes or Domino and useful inbuilt calls/functions I could use.
does anyone have any links to useful websites??
I think it may run seporate to Notes, but it is just as likely it could be created to run under domino/notes.
What I am trying to avoid is having to install anything new on the servers (my code included!)
Thanks loads for your time. Any help small or big would be VERY useful!
At present it is a command line tool that uses a Lotus Notes database for configuration. It checks a server is up and can also monitor any numeric statistic put out by the server. For alerts it can run an agent or a .cmd script or both, so if you can write a script to turn something red or green it may help you.
I use it to watch mail.waiting and mail.dead stats for a number of servers.
One day I’ll get around to providing some sort of GUI interface - or maybe that is something you are up to!?
