The Importance of DDM Probes

Identify and optimize the agents stealing your memory


Bookmark and Share Print Email

 

Domino Domain Monitoring (DDM) provides an automated way to determine your server health. You can activate several probes in many different categories. The probes then generate reports in the DDM (ddm.nsf) database when certain conditions are met or specific problems are encountered.

One probe category—Application Code—lets you set up probes that monitor:

  • Agents behind schedule
  • Agents evaluated by CPU usage
  • Agents evaluated by memory usage
  • Long-running agents

With the exception of agents behind schedule, you can enable the other three probes for monitoring agents that run under the agent manager (AMGR) or the HTTP tasks.
