Monitor Application files are integrated into your Web server to support the Monitor Web console. See Section 8.0, Web Application Installation Directories on Your Web Server.
agents directory
On a Linux server, the Monitor Agent is always installed in subdirectories of /opt/novell/groupwise/agents.
bin directory
The bin directory holds GroupWise executable files.
gwmon file
The gwmon file is the Monitor Agent executable. You run this executable file to start the Monitor Agent. See Starting the Linux Monitor Agent as a Daemon
in Installing GroupWise Monitor
in the GroupWise 2012 Installation Guide.
lib directory
The lib directory holds GroupWise shared library files.
gwmonxxx.fil files
These files contain all language-specific information for the Monitor Agent. The last two characters xx are a language code.
share directory
The share directory holds agent startup files and files that are used by the agent consoles and Web consoles.
monitor.xml file
The monitor.xml file is a specialized configuration file for use in the XIS environment.
/etc/init.d directory
The /etc/init.d directory is the standard location for Linux startup scripts.
grpwise-ma file
The grpwise-ma script is created automatically during installation. You can use the script to start, restart, stop, and display status information about the Monitor Agent. For more information about starting the Monitor Agent, see Starting the Linux Monitor Agent as a Daemon
in Installing GroupWise Monitor
in the GroupWise 2012 Installation Guide.
rc3.d directory
The rc3.d directory holds symbolic links to scripts that you want your Linux server to run when it is booted to runlevel 3 (multi-user; boots to a text mode login prompt without the X Window System). The symbolic link to the grpwise-ma script is Snngrpwise-ma. It is created if you choose during installation to have the Monitor Agent start automatically when the server boots.
rc5.d directory
The rc5.d directory holds symbolic links to scripts that you want your Linux server to run when it is booted to runlevel 5 (multi-user; boots to the X Window System login dialog box). The symbolic link to the grpwise-ma script is Snngrpwise-ma. It is created if you choose during installation to have the Monitor Agent start automatically when the server boots.
/usr/sbin directory
The /usr/sbin directory is the standard location for application scripts that can be run from any directory on the Linux server. The /usr/sbin directory is always included in the PATH environment variable. Files in this directory are links to the corresponding script files in /etc/init.d.
/var/log/novell/groupwise directory
The /var/log directory is the standard location for log files on Linux. All GroupWise agent log files are created in the novell/groupwise subdirectory.
gwmon directory
Within the gwmon directory, the Monitor Agent creates two different types of log files. The mmddmon.nnn log files inform you of its processing and any problems it encounters. The mmddhist.nnn log files record dumps of all MIB values gathered during each poll cycle. For more information about log files, see Configuring Monitor Agent Log Settings
in Monitor
in the GroupWise 2012 Administration Guide.
The first two digits of the file name represent the month; the next two digits represent the day of the month. The three-digit extension is a sequence number for multiple log files created on the same day. For example, 0518mon.002 is the second Monitor Agent log file created on May 18.
acct directory
Within the gwmon directory, the Monitor Agent creates an acct subdirectory for storing accounting files received from the GWIA and GroupWise gateways. For more information, see Receiving and Forwarding the Accounting Files
in Monitor
in the GroupWise 2012 Administration Guide.

gwenv1a.dll file
The gwenv1a.dll file is the GroupWise Agent Engine, a program that is shared by all GroupWise agents. It provides the following services to the agents:
-
Database management
-
File operations
-

Thread management
-
Semaphores (file/record locking)
-
Date/time services
The first agent started on a server automatically starts the GroupWise Agent Engine DLL.
