of statistics. See

"Strategies for Agent Problems" in

You can use the NetWare Monitor NLM to monitor the effects of the MTA on the NetWare
server. NetWare 6.5/OES NetWare provides monitoring tools that you can use from your
Web browser. Processor, resource, and memory utilization can be compared to other non-
GroupWise NLM programs to determine if the MTA NLM program is monopolizing
resources. See your NetWare documentation for additional monitoring suggestions.
You can use SNMP tools like snmpget and snmpwalk that allow you to retrieve the data
about all the services registered with the SNMP service. These tools are part of the NET-
SNMP package. See your Linux documentation for additional monitoring suggestions.
You can use the Performance Monitor in Windows Administrator Tools to gather similar
information. See your Windows documentation for additional monitoring suggestions.
