Configuring Skype for Business Server monitoring
When you install the Monitoring Agent for Skype for Business Server (formerly known as MS Lync Server), the agent will be in the unconfigured state. To start the agent, you need to configure it.
Before you begin
- Review the hardware and software prerequisites. For the up-to-date system requirement information, see the Software Product Compatibility Reports (SPCR) for the Skype for Business Server agent.
- Ensure that the user that you use to run the Skype for Business Server agent, is a domain user with administrator privileges and has access to all the remote servers that are listed in the Lync or Skype for Business Server topology. Use an existing domain user with administrator privileges, or create a new domain user and assign administrator privileges to the new domain user.
About this task
You can configure the agent when the agent is running or stopped. The agent remains in the same state after configuration. For example, if the agent is running, it remains in the running state after configuration.
The product version and the agent version often differ. The directions here are for the most current release of this agent. For information about how to check the version of an agent in your environment, see Agent version command. For detailed information about the agent version list and what's new for each version, see the Change history.
To configure the agent, you can either use the IBM Performance Management window or the silent response file.
