The Domino Chick

DDM Education Resources

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

On Monday evening, I facilitated a Birds of a Feather session with Harry Peebles, one of the developers behind the wonderful Domino Domain Monitoring feature. During the BoF, Harry mentioned a post he created on DeveloperWorks that lists out a slew of excellent Domino Domain Monitoring education resources. I've linked to his post above, but will reprint his post here as well:

DDM was first introduced in Lotus Domino V7.0. It is a administrative tool to facilitate problem determination and resolution.

DDM helps reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of Domino administration. It distills and correlates a huge amount of otherwise indigestible data across an entire server domain.

Its highly usable interface allows a systematic approach to resolving server issues; its configurability and flexibility accommodate diverse enterprises; and its more efficient monitoring and problem resolution leads to server stability and up-time and allows you to focus on business needs, not the mechanics of administration.

DDM should become the primary monitoring interface, but is optional! The DDM architecture facilitates future extensibility and programmability.

A self guided tour of DDM has just been posted to the Lotus Sandbox. These ~20 minutes of slides provides good understanding why everybody should be using DDM.

Here is a ~4 minute demo. While the film is based on a beta user interface (not what shipped with Domino 7.0) it remains useful for getting a quick idea of what is available.

This wonderful DDM Redpaper explains many details ...

These two Lotusphere 2006 presentations slides do not include any audio, so the content is diminished, but there is still good stuff here ...
