MONITORING

Using mail-in statistics
If you can access IBM® Lotus® Notes® mail on a server, you can collect statistics from the server and mail them to yourself. Use mail-in statistics when the IBM® Lotus® Domino™ Administrator is not available or you do not have administrator access to a server.

When you start the Stats task, Domino creates a mail-in database (STATMAIL.NSF) for the server. The title of the mail-in database is server Stats/org. For example, for the Everest server in the Acme organization, the mail-in database is titled Everest Stats/Acme. By default, during server registration, a Mail-in Database document is created. This document, which is stored in the Domino Directory, defines the properties and location of a database that can receive mail. To open the document from the Domino Administrator, click the People & Groups tab, and then open the Mail-in Databases & Resources view.

You can mail all or a subset of statistics to yourself. The names of all statistics are listed on the Configuration tab in the Monitoring Configuration - Names & Messages (Advanced) view. The category for a statistic is the first part of the statistic name. For example, the category for the statistic Disk.C.Free is Disk.
