As you plan Monitor in a clustering environment, you must keep in mind that you will plan and set
up two Monitor components:
Monitor Agent (gwmon) that will be associated with a domain in your GroupWise system
Monitor Application (a Java servlet) that will be added to your Web server (Apache). You must
install the Monitor Application on a non-clustered Web server.
You install the Monitor Agent on each node in the cluster. You install the Monitor Application to
your Web server, which must not be clustered. This means that the
the following URL is always available, because it is part of the cluster:
http://secondary_IP_address:8200
