On a Linux server, the Monitor Agent is always installed in subdirectories of /opt/novell/groupwise/agents.
The bin directory holds GroupWise executable files.
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
7 Installation Guide.
The lib directory holds GroupWise shared library files.
These files are Linux shared library files that provide information to the Monitor Agent executable.
The share directory holds agent startup files and files that are used by the agent consoles and Web consoles.
The monitor.xml file is a specialized configuration file for use in the XIS environment.
The gwmonitor directory holds files used by the Monitor Application.
The gwmonitor.cfg file holds the same
configuration information that is stored on the Monitor Application
object (named GroupWiseMonitor) in eDirectory. For more information,
see Configuring
the Monitor Application
in Monitor
in
the GroupWise
7 Administration Guide.
The default directory holds boilerplate versions of the gwmonitor.cfg file and the monitor.xml file.
The logs subdirectory holds Monitor Application
log files. For more information, see Modifying
Monitor Application Log Settings
in Monitor
in
the GroupWise
7 Administration Guide.
The users subdirectory holds session files for Monitor users.
The /etc/init.d directory is the standard location for Linux startup scripts.
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
7 Installation Guide.
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 S99grpwise-ma. It is created if you choose during installation to have the Monitor Agent start automatically when the server boots.
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 S99grpwise-ma. It is created if you choose during installation to have the Monitor Agent start automatically when the server boots.
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.
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
7 Administration Guide.
The first two digits of the filename 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.
Within the gwmon directory, the Monitor
Agent creates an acct subdirectory for storing accounting
files received from the Internet Agent and GroupWise gateways. For
more information, see Receiving
the Accounting Files
in Monitor
in
the GroupWise
7 Administration Guide.
Additional Monitor files are integrated into your Web server to support the Monitor Web console. For an example, see Section 8.5, Apache/Tomcat Installation.
On a Windows server, the Monitor Agent can be installed in any directory you choose. The default location is c:\gwmon. The Monitor Agent desktop icon is set up to include the full path to whatever directory you choose.
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:
The first agent started on a server automatically starts the GroupWise Agent Engine DLL.
The gwmon.exe file is the Monitor Agent
program. You run this executable file to start the Monitor Agent.

The monitor.xml file stores the Monitor
Agent configuration information that you establish in the Monitor
Agent console, as described in Configuring
the Monitor Agent
in Monitor
in
the GroupWise
7 Administration Guide.
The gwmonxx.dll files contain all language-specific information for the WebAccess Agent. The last two characters xx are a language code.
The gwsnmp.dll file provides interaction
with the Windows SNMP Service, so that the Monitor Agent can throw
SNMP traps. See Configuring
SNMP Trap Notification for Agent Problems
in Monitor
in
the GroupWise
7 Administration Guide.
The x*10a.dll and gwxis10.dll programs provide XIS capability for the GroupWise agents, so that you can create XML documents to monitor and change the agents as needed.
The gwmon.xml file is a specialized agent configuration file for use in the XIS environment.
The monwork directory is used for temporary
files used in calculating system performance, as described in Measuring
Agent Performance
in Monitor

gateways, as described in Receiving
the Accounting Files
