Admin2006 Jumpstart Day
Tags :DDM Domino Domain Monitoring Admin2006
A packed room for a 3 hour jumpstart on Domino Domain Monitoring. Only 2 (from my memory) in the room had deployed a Domino 7 server to start playing with DDM. The best part is that I got to show them how to build from scratch. I pushed the participation from the group to make sure I understand what they needed to monitor as well as a feeling for how they manage now.
People addressed third party monitoring tools a couple times, asking if DDM could replace them. My honest answer? No, put them to work together. You already made the leap and the cost of installing a third party product, don't change that yet. Mainly since DDM lacks some basic workflow in this current version. But the probes and deep level checking that some of the others do at the cost of machine resources, don't weigh evenly against DDM.
The flexibility of scheduling probes coupled with the ability to change the severity designation and notification of any event Domino can generate, blows the other products away. Hands down. Now just to get some workflow...
On a side note, speakers were popping up all over. Rob Novak, Susan Bulloch, Carl Tyler, Rob Wonderlich, Andy P and Rob A (the wonder twins) and a slew of others
