I always thought that’s what users were for, but now I’m told that
software should be the thing that tells me when a server isn’t doing
what it’s supposed to do.
It looks like there are plenty of things out there that will tell you if
your windows or linux server is alive or not - do you know of anything
that will alert you if, just for one example, your GW server (on
netware) is still running but not handling mail?
Hi
Is there an snmp MIB for GW? Running something like Nagios can be setup
to check processes (even via remote socket connection) etc, you could
even run something like SEC (Simple Event Correlator) to send out an
alert.
Can you do a port scan, a simple test like that may be enough?

Nagios can do this - there are a few choices of plugins on Nagios
Exchange that will watch GroupWise mta, poa, etc
We use Nagios to watch everything inside the network and then we use
Pingdom to make sure the Nagios server is up.

Sounds like I need to learn about Nagios. Thanks for the info.

If that’s your only concern, try Groupwise Monitor.
Else Nagios.
