56.1.3 Using Novell Remote Manager
If the WebAccess Agent is running on NetWare 6.5 or on Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES), you
can use the IP Address Management feature in Novell Remote Manager (Manage Server > IP
Address Management) to view the IP address and port configuration for the WebAccess Agent. This
is also true for other GroupWise agents (MTA, POA, and Internet Agent) running on NetWare 6.5/
OES servers.
IMPORTANT:
If the WebAccess Agent is running on NetWare in protected mode, it does not
display in Novell Remote Manager.
You access Novell Remote Manager by entering the following URL in a Web browser:
http://
server_address
:8008
For example:
http://172.16.5.18:8008
For more information about using Novell Remote Manager, see the
NetWare 6.5 documentation
(http://www.novell.com/documentation/nw65)
and the
Novell Open Enterprise Server
Documentation Web site (http://www.novell.com/documentation/oes)
.
56.1.4 Using an SNMP Management Console
The WebAccess Agent can be monitored through an SNMP management console, such as the one
provide with Novell
®
ZENworks
®
Server Management.
Before you can monitor the WebAccess Agent through an SNMP management console, you must
compile the WebAccess Agent’s MIB (Management Information Base) file. The Internet Agent’s
MIB file, named
gwweb.mib
, is located in the
agents\snmp
directory on the
GroupWise 7
Administrator
CD or in the GroupWise software distribution directory.
The MIB file contains all the Trap, Set, and Get variables used for communication between the
WebAccess Agent and management console. The Trap variables provide warnings that point to
current and potential problems. The Set variables allow you to configure portions of the application
while it is still running. The Get variables display the current status of different processes of the
application.
To compile the MIB file:
1
Copy the WebAccess Agent MIB (
gwweb.mib
) to the SNMP management console’s MIB
directory.
2
Compile the MIB file.
3
Create a profile that uses the WebAccess Agent MIB, then select that profile.
56.1.5 Assigning Operators to Receive Warning and Error
Messages
You can select GroupWise users to receive warning and error messages issued by the WebAccess
Agent. Whenever the agent issues a warning or error, these users, called operators, receive a
message in their mailboxes. You can specify one or more operators.
To assign an operator:
