SNTT : Monitoring Additional Tasks In the Domino Administrator

Do you use the built-in server monitoring in the Domino administrator client and wish you could extend it a little to monitor the tasks that are added to the Domino server by add-in products? Well it's actually fairly simple and just needs a few design changes to the domadmin.nsf database that is created on your local machine when you first run the admin client.
Open the domadmin.nsf database in your designer client and have a look at all the forms that you see there. You'll see a load of forms that all start with 'Task\' These are the forms that control how the task monitoring and the 'Load' and 'Tell' commands work for each task that the Domino Administrator client can manage.
Do a copy and paste on one of these task forms. I normally use one that does not have and UI defined for the 'Load' and 'Tell' portions of the task. A good example of one of these would be the 'Task\Catalog' form. Open the duplicate form once you have made your copy. The first thing you'll need to do is change the forms name using the same naming conventions of all the other Task forms. Don't forget the alias. For the form name you should use the name of the command that you would type in for the load command if you wanted to load the task. In the example below to start Traveler I'd type 'Load Traveler' on the server console so the name of the form becomes 'Task\traveler' and the alias is 'task_traveler'
Now we need to change the default values iin the fields on the form.
'Task_name' is what is displayed in all the views and dialog boxes in the Domino Administrator client. In this example I'm going to enter in 'Lotus Traveler'
'Task_filename' is the name of the command you would type for the load command. In this example it is just 'traveler' as in 'Load Traveler'.
'Task_monitorname' is what appears in the list of tasks when you type 'Show Tasks' on the server console. For Lotus Traveler it shows up in the list as 'Lotus Traveler'
You can set the description to whatever you want. For my Lotus Traveler task I set mine to 'Provides mail services to smartphone clients.'
When your done just save the new form and then switch to your Lotus Administration client and add the new task on the monitor screen.
Once the next cycle kicks in your server monitor will start reporting the status on your new task
You can use this method to monitor any additional add-in and third party products that show up in a 'Show Tasks' command on the server console, including things like Anti-Virus software, third party archive utilities etc.
