Overview

HCL Notes and HCL Domino are the client and server, respectively, of a collaborative client-server software platform formerly sold by Lotus, then IBM, and now by HCL Technologies.

Collection

Snare Central is able to connect to a Domino server to retrieve eventlog data from log.nsf. It can also retrieve user and group information, plus access controls. However, some of the default settings in Lotus Domino can cause problems with the collection system; please modify the server as follows:

From the Domino Administrator page, click the Configuration tab, expand the Web section and click Internet Sites.

  1. Choose the log.nsf and click Edit Document.

  2. Click the Domino Web Engine tab. Under "Conversion/Display" complete these fields:

    1. Default lines per view page: 250 (default 30)

    2. Maximum lines per view page: 0 (default 1000).
