HCL Domino: Publish Domino Statistics to Elasticsearch and create a Dashboard with Kibana

Important: This is document is in Draft, i still working on this.

In Domino 10 has a new functionality that pushes the server statistics to a defined target via HTTP Post.

See this link for details:


 * Publishing Domino statistics to New Relic
 * Publishing Domino statistics to services other than New Relic

In this article, i will explain how to do this using Domino, Elasticsearch and Kibana

= Configure Elasticsearch and Kibana=

Create file index_creation.json
{ "mappings": { "properties": { "host":       { "type": "text" }, "s_timestamp": { "type": "date", "format": "epoch_millis" } } } }

Create Index
curl -X PUT "http://:9200/domino" -H 'Content-type: application/json' -d @index_creation.json

= Configure Domino to send posts =

You must define the following notes.ini variables:

STATPUB_ENABLE=1 STATPUB_DATA_HEAD={"host":"","s_timestamp":"$Timestamp$","metrics":{ STATPUB_URI=http:///domino/dstats STATPUB_DATA_TAIL=}} STATPUB_METRIC_FORMAT="$Name$":$Value$ STATPUB_DELTA_METRIC_FORMAT="$Name$.Delta":$Value$ STATPUB_HEADERS=X-My-Domino-Srv:$Newline$Content-Type: application/json$Newline$Accept: application/json$Newline$


 * Tip: HCL Domino: STATPUB_URI send metrics to a url or a file

The result is a single post to the target containing all the statistics in json format

{ "host": "myserver", "timestamp": "1581518363", "metrics": { "ADMINP.DirectoryDocumentsModified": 1, "ADMINP.RelativeResponsesAdded": 6, "ADMINP.RelativeResponsesAdded.Delta":0, "ADMINP.ReplicasCreated": 4, .....   } }

When i have a Dashboard, i will share on Github.

Tips for authenticated Elasticsearch
In my environemnt, the elasticsearch has the following username and password:

elastic:changeme

To set password you can define in url:

STATPUB_URI= http://elastic:changeme@/domino/dstats 

Or encode using https://www.base64encode.org/ and define on header

STATPUB_HEADERS=X-My-Domino-Srv:$Newline$Content-Type: application/json$Newline$Accept: application/json$Newline$Authorization: Basic ZWxhc3RpYzpjaGFuZ2VtZQ==$Newline$
