Monitoring your applications and environment is a key capability of SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted (formerly Hybrid Cloud Observability) and is available in the Essentials edition. Server & Application Monitor (SAM) is also available in a standalone module.

Novell GroupWise Message Transfer Agent (Windows)

Prerequisites

WinRM must be installed and properly configured on the target server.

Credentials

Administrator rights on target servers.

Component monitors

Message Transfer Agent: Statistic 1

This monitor returns different MTA statistic. The returned values are as follows:

  • Total Domains - This component returns the total number of domains the MTA links to.
  • Closed Domains – This component returns the number of domains that are currently closed.
  • Total Post Offices – This component returns the total number of post offices in the domain.
  • Closed Post Offices – This component returns the number of post offices that are currently closed.
  • Total Gateways – This component returns the total number of gateways in the domain.
  • Closed Gateways – This component returns the number of gateways that are currently closed.

Set arguments in the following order:
IP_address,port

where

IP_address is the IP address of target server with installed MTA. By default it uses value ${IP} which will automatically set the IP address of target node;

port is the MTA HTTP access port. By default it is set to 7180.

If the monitor returns a value of -1, this can mean that the statistic cannot be found on MTA's web page.

Message Transfer Agent: Statistic 2

This monitor returns different MTA statistic. The returned values are as follows:

  • Total Routed Messages – This component returns the total number of messages successfully routed to the domains, post offices, and gateways serviced by the MTA.
  • Routed Messages In Last 10 Minutes – This component returns the number of messages successfully routed to the domains, post offices, and gateways serviced by the MTA in last ten minutes.
  • Total Undeliverable Messages – This component returns the total number of messages that could not be delivered to a domain, post office, or gateway. This value should be as low as possible.
  • Undeliverable Messages In Last 10 Minutes – This component returns the number of messages that could not be delivered to a domain, post office, or gateway in last ten minutes. This value should be as low as possible.
  • Total Errors – This component returns the total number of errors the MTA encounters while processing messages in its input queues. This value should be as low as possible.
  • Errors In Last 10 Minutes – This component returns the number of errors the MTA encounters while processing messages in its input queues in last ten minutes. This value should be as low as possible.

Set arguments in the following order:

IP_address,port

where

IP_address is the IP address of target server with installed MTA. By default it uses value ${IP} which will automatically set the IP address of target node;

port is the MTA HTTP access port. By default it is set to 7180.

If the monitor returns a value of -1, this can mean that the statistic cannot be found on MTA's web page.

Message Transfer port

This component monitor tests the ability of a Message Transfer to accept incoming sessions. By default it monitors 7100 TCP port. You should put correct Message Transfer port here, which you set during MTA installation.

HTTP port

This component monitor tests the ability of a MTA HTTP access to accept incoming sessions. By default it monitors 7180 TCP port. You should put correct MTA HTTP port here, which you set during MTA installation.

Process: Message Transfer Agent

This monitor returns CPU and memory usage of Message Transfer Agent process (gwmta.exe).

HTTP Monitor

This component monitor tests a web server's ability to accept incoming sessions and transmit the requested page. By default it monitors web site on 7180 TCP port.
