Sorry, yes, meant to send an update to the list this morning. I was (as Dirk says) using the windows hostname for the check, on the basis that the Notes server name isn't registered in DNS, and the IP address usually works in Notes anyway... However, as I now understand it the Notes DB check doesn't go anywhere near DNS - it's using the wet string built into the Notes Client on the SA box. Using the Notes Server name makes everything start flying...
Two suggestions following on from that. One is that, if there is an update to the Notes check addon at some point, it would be worth clarifying that point in the help file and in the configuration screen (i.e. "Notes Server Name" rather than "Server Name". The other is that it would be really useful to be able to get more info on Notes (i.e. more than just db availability). DB size, mail throughput, pending messages, are the sort of thing that would be really useful to check. In theory I would have thought one could do that with SNMP, but it doesn't seem to be working. The following somewhat confusing line on an IBM technote (http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21169283) makes me wonder if it can't be done: "Please note that Domino does not support receiving SNMP traps at this point, only sending them." When they talk about "receiving SNMP traps", do you think they mean SNMP Gets? Seems bizarre if so. Anyone poking Notes with SNMP?

I usually just get a "did not respond within the given timeout" message, although I sometimes get a "cannot access database.nsf". The password is the correct one for the notes ID on the SA box, and that ID has rights to the DB in question. Anyone any experience of using this tool?
