One line of LotusScript That Turns a Domino Database into a Visible System

We all know that Domino run our business. Each customer may have many Domino applications, each of these applications can have multiple agents, that does some automation.
Import of document, API calls, reminders, notification, document update and data synchronization.

Question is how to monitor them?   Definitely not with   Print "We have a problem. Exit. " in Domino server console.

CYMON monitoring https://cyone.eu/CYMON has a Notes Integration Database, "statistic Publisher" that allows any Notes application to create a custom statistic.
With 1(!!!) one line of LotusScript , we can create statistic and publish particular application information, number of records imported/exported. We can monitor if agents has started and has finished with no ErrorHandler involved.

Even more we can see how number of documents impact View Response time for Notes users. And of course this is not only for Notes, it is for Web as well.

As result, we can monitor Domino Application response time for users, SaveConflicts, or any other problematic things, but also agents that started, but not finished after 30 min (while normal run time is 5min).
For example, Requests arrive , but for more than 1 hour they stay in status "New" and not assigned, not processed by anyone.
We also can see how Application response time grows depending on number of documents in view.  If we do Application Performance tuning, then we can see if this improved response time.

These numbers allow us also to create a triggers, IF there is no new documents imported during last X hours during working hours, then may be we need to check source system, or if agent is properly signed.
Early problem detection is very important and cheaper, than solving issues after 1 month.

Monitoring has another very important side benefit - it allows junior admins/developers, to solve Expert level issues, detect immediately issues, thus avoid business disruption.
Also onboarding of new admin, turn Domino from large black box, into transparent and monitored system.


During ENGAGE conference you can get practical knowledge of CYMON, Workshop will be focused on practical knowledge of creating new items, triggers, grafana dashboards.  It will be fun!
