DSTrace with iMonitor

Now that you have been introduced to the most common eDirectory processes, it's important that you know how to keep track of the health and general operation of those processes. To do this you can use iMonitor. iMonitor is presented in Chapter 4, “OES Management Tools,” as one of the principal management tools for OES NetWare. However, this section focuses on the iMonitor options for monitoring eDirectory processes and activities. Refer to Chapter 4 for information on iMonitor installation, general interface, and additional capabilities. For detailed feature information, see the OESOES NetWare on-line documentation.

iMonitor is a web-based replacement for several of the console-based management utilities used with previous versions of NetWare, including DSBrowse, DSTrace, and DSDiag. Because the eDirectory processes discussed previously run on each eDirectory server, iMonitor provides a server-level view of eDirectory health as opposed to a tree-level view. You can view the health of processes running only on the server from which you are running iMonitor. To view another server, launch iMonitor from that server.
