59.2.4 Configuring an Agent Group

Configuration settings for monitoring can be set individually for each monitored agent, for each
agent group, or for all monitored agents collectively. You can establish default configuration settings
for all agents by setting them on the root agent group that is named the same as your GroupWise
system. Those default settings can be inherited by each subgroup that you create thereafter if you
select Apply Options to Subgroups. Those default settings can be overridden by establishing
different settings for an agent group or for an individual agent if you deselect Use Parent Options.

59.3 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 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.
