To make this information a permanent part of your independent Messenger system, follow the 
instructions in “

Using GroupWise Monitor

” in “

Managing the Messaging Agent

” in the 

Novell 

Messenger Administration Guide

.

If Monitor is already monitoring GroupWise agents, then it is easy to add Messenger agents.

At the Windows 

Monitor Agent server console

:

1

Click 

Configuration > Add Novell Messenger System

.

2

Fill in the following fields in the GroupWise Monitor Startup dialog box or the Add Novell 
Messenger System dialog box:

Novell Messenger System Object: 

Browse to and select the eDirectory

TM

 container where you 

created the Messenger system.

User Name: 

Browse to and select a User object that has sufficient rights to enable the Monitor 

Agent to access Messenger object properties in eDirectory.

Password: 

Specify the network password associated with the User object.

Replica Address: 

Specify the IP address of a server where an eDirectory replica is available.

3

Click 

OK

 to add the Messenger Agent and the Archive Agent to the list of monitored agents.

NOTE: 

On Linux, use the 

Preferences > Add Agents

 at the 

Monitor Agent Web console

 to add the 

individual Messenger agents to the list of monitored agents. For more information, see 

Section 59.1.4, “Adding an Individual Agent,” on page 972

.

59.12  Supporting the GroupWise High 

Availability Service on Linux

The GroupWise High Availability service, described in “

Enabling the High Availability Service for 

the Linux GroupWise Agents

” in “

Installing GroupWise Agents

” in the 

GroupWise 7 Installation 

Guide

, relies on the Monitor Agent to know when an agent has stopped and needs to be restarted. To 

enable communication between the Monitor Agent and the High Availability service, start the 
Monitor Agent with the 

--hauser

 and

 --hapassword

 startup switches, set to the username and 

password of the Linux user you set up to represent the High Availability service on your Linux 
server. You can also use the 

--hapoll

 startup switch to control how often the Monitor Agent contacts 

the High Availability service with agent status information. The default is every 2 minutes.
