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 the Domino® system
You can monitor system activity and platform use using one of three tools -- the Domino® Administrator, the Web Administrator, or the server console.
Event generators
Event generators gather information by monitoring a task or a statistic or by probing a server for access or connectivity. Each event generator has a specified threshold or condition, which, when met, causes an event to be created The event is passed to the Event Monitor task, which checks whether an associated event handler has been defined. If an event handler has not been defined, the Event Monitor task does nothing. If an event handler has been defined, the Event Monitor carries out the instructions in the event handler. The Event Monitor task, formerly know as the Event task, starts automatically when you start the server and must run on all servers that you want to monitor.
Starting and stopping the ISpy task
You must start the ISpy task before you can create server and mail routing event generators. The ISpy task does not start automatically.

Starting and stopping the ISpy task

You must start the ISpy task before you can create server and mail routing event generators. The ISpy task does not start automatically.

About this task

Use any of these methods to start and stop the ISpy task. Because the ISpy task is case-sensitive, you must enter it exactly as shown in this table.

Table 1. Methods of starting and stopping the ISpy task
To do this	Perform this task
Start the ISpy task automatically when the server starts	Edit the `ServerTasks` setting in the NOTES.INI file to include `runjava ISpy`.
Start the ISpy task manually	Enter the command load runjava ISpy at the console.
Stop the ISpy task	Enter the command tell runjava unload ISpy. Important: You can use the command tell runjava quit, but be aware that it stops all runjava tasks, not just ISpy.
