Novell iMonitor provides cross-platform monitoring and diagnostic capability to all servers in
your eDirectory tree. This utility lets you monitor your servers from any location on your network
TM
where a Web browser is available.
iMonitor lets you look at the eDirectory environment in depth on a partition, replica, or server basis.
You can also examine what tasks are taking place, when they are happening, what their results are,
and how long they are taking.
iMonitor provides a Web-based alternative or replacement for many of the Novell traditional server-
based eDirectory tools such as DSBrowse, DSTrace, DSDiag, and the diagnostic features available
in DSRepair. Because of this, iMonitor's features are primarily server focused, meaning that they
focus on the health of individual eDirectory agents (running instances of the directory service) rather
than the entire eDirectory tree.
iMonitor 2.4 provides the following features:
eDirectory health summary
Synchronization information
Known servers
Agent configuration
eDirectory health checks
Hyperlinked DS Trace
Agent configuration
Agent activity and verb statistics
Reports
Agent information
Error information
Object/schema browser
Novell Identity Manager monitor
Search
Partition list
Agent process status
Background process schedule

Connection monitor
