Monitoring HCL Domino

Domino Server Configuration

In order to enable HCL Domino monitoring, the following lines need to be added to the notes.ini file:

STATPUB_ENABLE=1
STATPUB_URI=file:///./<your path>/domino_stats.txt
STATPUB_DATA_HEAD={$Newline$"Timestamp.datafile":$Timestamp$,
STATPUB_DATA_TAIL=$Newline$}
STATPUB_METRIC_FORMAT=$Newline$"$Name$":$Value$
STATPUB_DELTA_METRIC_FORMAT=$Newline$"$Name$.rate":$Value$

Agent Configuration

Instana will automatically discover and monitor HCL Domino instances without any agent configuration needed.

In order to filter the monitoring metrics the following configuration can be applied:

com.instana.plugin.domino:
  metrics-include: '.*'  # regex which matches the desired metric names.

Metrics collection

To view the metrics, select Infrastructure in the sidebar of the Instana User interface, click a specific monitored host, and then you can see a host dashboard with all the collected metrics and monitored processes.
