IBM® Domino 10.0.1 Documentation
Welcome to the IBM® Domino 10.0.1 Administrator Help.
Administering
This documentation provides information about the administration tools for managing and monitoring IBM Domino® servers and databases.
Monitoring
This section describes how to use the tools and features that help you monitor a Domino® system.
Monitoring quality of service
Quality of Service, or QoS, is designed to react to the general operation of a Domino® server in order to keep that server functioning reliably and always available. If QoS detects that a server is not responding or hung, QoS probing can be configured to email an administrator about the problem and/or automatically terminate the server and restart it. QoS log information can also be useful for analysis by IBM® Support.
Pausing and resuming QoS
QoS provides a mechanism to pause or resume the QoS service at a specific time. Pausing QoS avoids allowing the server to be killed during an option that is expected to take a long time or that is critical to server operation; examples are backups or other maintenance operations. Temporarily disabling QoS allows these operations to complete without being misinterpreted by QoS as a server problem.

Pausing and resuming QoS

QoS provides a mechanism to pause or resume the QoS service at a specific time. Pausing QoS avoids allowing the server to be killed during an option that is expected to take a long time or that is critical to server operation; examples are backups or other maintenance operations. Temporarily disabling QoS allows these operations to complete without being misinterpreted by QoS as a server problem.

Procedure

To pause QoS probing, use the following command at the Domino® server console:
```
tell qos pause
```
With this pause, only the QoS probe is running; it will not kill or restart the Domino server.
To resume QoS probing, use the following command at the Domino server console:
```
tell qos resume
```

Results

To verify the command completed successfully, check the most recent QoS log file in the Domino server's data directory. The server reports errors in the console, but does not report any completion status.
