Detecting with Capsd

This howto describe to configure OpenNMS to monitor Microsoft Exchange services. The servicenames come from a german Exchange 2003 Standard. First configure $OPENNMS_HOME/etc/capsd-configuration.xml to detect the services on your Exchange machines. The setup use the integrated Win32ServicePlugin:

 
  <!-- Microsoft Exchange Services -->
  <protocol-plugin protocol="MSEXCH-MTA-Stacks" 
    class-name="org.opennms.netmgt.capsd.plugins.Win32ServicePlugin"
    scan="on" user-defined="false">

  </protocol-plugin>
  <protocol-plugin protocol="MSEXCH-Informationsspeicher"

  </protocol-plugin>

  </protocol-plugin>
  

Monitoring the services

To monitor the service state add the following lines to your $OPENNMS_HOME/etc/poller-configuration.xml:

Change your timeouts and retry settings to your needs, I have some heavy load machines and on with higher timeouts and more retries I have a lot less 30 second outages.
