MONITORING

Creating a Server and Addin Task Event document
You can create a Server and Addin Task Event document for an event, but it is likely that the only time you will need to do so is when you run IBM® Lotus® Domino™ add-in tasks from third parties. All of the Lotus-created events should already have corresponding Server and Addin Task Event documents.

1. From the Domino Administrator, click the Files tab.

2. Open the Monitoring Configuration database, EVENTS4.NSF.

3. In the left pane, click Advanced, and then open one of the Event Messages views.

4. Click New Message. A blank Server and Addin Task Event document displays.

5. Complete these fields on the Basics tab:
FieldAction
Original TextEnter the text that is to display as the Event text whenever the event occurs.
Addin nameIf the error pertains to an Addin program, enter the Addin program name; otherwise, leave this field blank.
ValueSpecify the internal hexadecimal value for the event text. If you do not know this value, leave this field blank.
Event typeChoose the event type from the list.
Event subtypeChoose the corresponding event subtype.
Old Event typeThe event type assigned to the corresponding pre-Domino 7 event.
Event severitySpecify the severity of the event. For information about event severity, see the topic Setting the event severity and suppression time settings.
Suppression timeUse this field to limit the number of times an event handler runs. After an event occurs and the event handler runs, if the event occurs again, the event handler cannot run until after the suppression time expires. An event handler defines the action that Domino takes when a specific event occurs.
Event correlationDomino can correlate multiple events generated by one problem, and report those events as one error. Use this field to specify the type of event correlation to enable, or to specify that no correlation is to be enabled.

Choose one:

  • No correlation -- Do not enable event correlation for this event.
  • Server wide correlation -- Correlate this event on each server in the domain.
  • Database wide correlation -- Correlate this event in each database.
  • Server and database wide correlation -- Correlate this event across all servers and databases.
  • Target UNID -- Correlate this event for events with the same UNID.
6. Click the Custom Entries tab.

7. Click the Probable Cause/Possible Solution tab or Corrective Actions tab.

8. Add entries by clicking Add, selecting the entry you want to add, and then click OK. Add as many Probable Cause, Possible Solution, and Corrective Actions statements as necessary.

9. Click Save and Close.
