63.3 Configuring Monitoring Protocols
By default, the Monitor Agent uses HTTP to communicate with the agents it monitors. If HTTP is
not available, the Monitor Agent changes automatically to SNMP.
GroupWise 8 agents, GroupWise 7 agents, GroupWise 6. x agents and 6. x -level gateways, as well as
the GroupWise agents provided with the GroupWise 5.5 Enhancement Pack, can be monitored using
HTTP. Agents dating from GroupWise 5.5 and earlier, as well as 5.5-level GroupWise gateways,
must be monitored using SNMP.

63.3.1 Configuring the Monitor Agent for HTTP
You can customize how the Monitor Agent communicates with your Web browser.
At the Windows Monitor Agent server console :
1 Click Configuration > HTTP .
or
At the
Linux Monitor Agent Web console , click Preferences > Setup , then scroll down to the
HTTP Settings section.
2 Modify the HTTP settings as needed:
HTTP Refresh: Specify the number of seconds after which the Monitor Agent sends updated
information to the Monitor Web console. The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes).
HTTP Port: Specify the port number for the Monitor Agent to listen on for requests for
information from the Web console. The default port number is 8200.
Open a new window when viewing agents: Select this option to open a new Web browser
window whenever you display an agent Web console. This enables you to view the Monitor
Web console and an agent Web console at the same time, or to view two agent Web consoles at
the same time for comparison.
3 Click OK to put the new HTTP settings into effect.
