BlackBerry Enterprise Server monitoring

solution

BlackBerry Monitoring Service

You can use the BlackBerry® Monitoring Service to monitor and troubleshoot issues with a BlackBerry® Enterprise

Server in your organization's environment and to monitor the activity of the BlackBerry device users that are

associated with a BlackBerry Enterprise Server.

The BlackBerry Monitoring Service monitors the BlackBerry Enterprise Server components. It polls each component

and retrieves SNMP data that it stores in a database and displays in the BlackBerry Monitoring Service console.

Feature Description

web-based administration console You can use the BlackBerry Monitoring Service console to monitor a

BlackBerry Enterprise Server in your organization's environment by creating

thresholds that monitor the activity of BlackBerry Enterprise Server

components. You can configure the BlackBerry Monitoring Service to send

notification messages to contacts when a component's activity exceeds

levels that you specify as acceptable.

The BlackBerry Monitoring Service console provides configuration settings

and statistics that you can use to review BlackBerry Enterprise Server

activity.

BlackBerry device dashboard You can use the BlackBerry device dashboard to access the BlackBerry

Monitoring Service from BlackBerry devices. You can view alarms,

messages, and the monitoring status of BlackBerry Enterprise Server

instances and BlackBerry Enterprise Server components.

The BlackBerry device dashboard is available for BlackBerry devices that are

running BlackBerry® Device Software version 4.5 or later.

monitoring of BlackBerry Enterprise

Server components

The BlackBerry Monitoring Service can provide the following types of data:

• configuration settings, such as the component name, component

version, and computer name

• statistics such as CPU usage, memory usage, number of requests to

process, and number of processing threads

• BlackBerry® Client Access License information, such as the number of

used and available licenses

• high availability information, such as the status of components that are

configured for high availability

• policy information, such as the service books and IT policies that the

BlackBerry Enterprise Server sends to BlackBerry devices

Monitoring Guide BlackBerry Enterprise Server monitoring solution

Feature Description

• messaging statistics, such as the number of email messages that

BlackBerry devices send and receive

• messaging server information, such as the hung thread count

• connection information for the BlackBerry Configuration Database,

BlackBerry Controller, and SRP connections

user monitoring and diagnostic tests

for BlackBerry devices

You can use the BlackBerry Monitoring Service console to run diagnostic

tests for BlackBerry devices and to identify any issues with BlackBerry

devices. The BlackBerry device diagnostic tool is available for BlackBerry

devices that are running BlackBerry® Device Software version 5.0 or later.

The BlackBerry Monitoring Service can monitor the following types of data:

• configuration information for BlackBerry devices, such as the PIN,

network type, and phone number

• message statistics, such as pending and expired email messages and

email messages that BlackBerry devices send and receive

• BlackBerry device statistics, such as the battery level and wireless

coverage

thresholds You can define thresholds that you can use to monitor components and

BlackBerry device users. When the activity of a component or BlackBerry

device user that the BlackBerry Monitoring Service monitors reaches a

threshold, the BlackBerry Monitoring Service displays an alarm in the

BlackBerry Monitoring Service console and sends notification messages to

specific contacts.

notification messages You can configure the BlackBerry Monitoring Service to send notification

messages to one or more recipients by creating a contact. A contact can

include one or more email addresses, PINs, IP addresses, or phone numbers

that support SMS text messages. If a component goes into an alarm state,

the BlackBerry Monitoring Service sends a notification message to all of the

recipients in the contact.

reports You can run default reports or create custom reports to return data about

the BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances in your organization's

environment. You can export reports to a .csv file, a .pdf file, or an .html

file. You can use the information that you collect from the reports to analyze

historical data.

graphs You can use the BlackBerry Monitoring Service console to generate a graph

that shows the historical activity of a component.

integration with a network

management framework

The BlackBerry Monitoring Service can send notifications as SNMP trap

messages. This permits you to integrate the BlackBerry Monitoring Service

with a network management tool that can receive SNMP trap messages.

Monitoring Guide BlackBerry Monitoring Service

Feature Description

The BlackBerry Monitoring Service sends an SNMP trap message when the

activity of a component or BlackBerry device user that the BlackBerry

Monitoring Service monitors reaches a threshold.

Web address and user roles for the BlackBerry Monitoring

Service console

Web address for the BlackBerry Monitoring Service console

When you install the BlackBerry® Monitoring Service, the installation wizard provides you with the web address for

the BlackBerry Monitoring Service console.

The format of the web address is https://<host>:8443/webconsole/app, where <host> is the FQDN of the computer

that hosts the BlackBerry Monitoring Service.

The installation process for the BlackBerry Monitoring Service adds an Internet shortcut file that is named

AccessBMSConsole to the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Monitoring Service. You can use the AccessBMSConsole

Internet shortcut file to open the BlackBerry Monitoring Service console in a browser. The default location of the

Internet shortcut file is <drive>:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Enterprise Server.

Open the BlackBerry Monitoring Service console on the computer that hosts the

BlackBerry Monitoring Service

On the computer that hosts the BlackBerry® Monitoring Service, on the taskbar, click Start > All Programs >

BlackBerry Enterprise Sever > BlackBerry Monitoring Service.

Roles and permissions for the BlackBerry Monitoring Service console

To access the BlackBerry® Monitoring Service console, you can use a valid Microsoft® Active Directory® account, a

valid Novell® GroupWise® messaging server account, the administrator account that you created when you installed

the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, or a BlackBerry Administration Service account that can access the BlackBerry

Monitoring Service console.

You can use the BlackBerry Administration Service to create an administrator account and assign the account to one

or more administrator roles. The roles control the actions that an administrator can perform in the BlackBerry

Administration Service console and BlackBerry Monitoring Service console. If you want the administrator account to

perform specific actions in the BlackBerry Administration Service console and BlackBerry Monitoring Service console,

you can assign applicable permissions to the administrator account.

The BlackBerry Administration Service includes four default roles that permit administrators who use the

administrator account to access the BlackBerry Monitoring Service console and perform specific actions.

For more information, see the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Administration Guide.
