Zabbix/CYMON Domino monitoring in HCL Sametime
Vladislav Tatarincev 8 October 2026 16:26:02
If you are running Zabbix, you already know how powerful it is. And there is a nice connection here: Zabbix comes from my home town — Riga, Latvia.It is an open-source monitoring platform used by organisations all over the world, with many different notification options.
But what if you are bleeding yellow and running HCL Domino and HCL Sametime?
Email alerts work, of course. But monitoring notifications quickly start filling your inbox. And an alert is not really an email — it is a signal that something requires your attention.
That is why my colleague Vladimir Jekimov, HCL Ambassador for HCL BigFix, has published a new Zabbix Sametime Notification Media webhook in our GitHub repository: https://github.com/cyonelab/zabbix-sametime-webhook
The webhook allows Zabbix to send monitoring alerts directly to HCL Sametime groups. Where people can discuss who will take action, or how to solve moving conversation from email to Sametime.
And the same integration works perfectly with CYMON ( cyone.eu/CYMON) , our commercial monitoring solution for HCL Domino and HCL Sametime, which is built on top of Zabbix and Grafana.
Zabbix gives you a very strong monitoring foundation. CYMON adds the Domino and Sametime intelligence on top of it.
Instead of monitoring only operating systems, CPU, memory and network availability, CYMON understands the Domino environment itself and can monitor servers, databases, agents, security events, logs, availability, performance and many Domino-specific conditions.
Most importantant - it is like +1 user that works over NRPC and port 1352 with his own user.id. This means nothing else is installed on your servers.
CYMON also knows when a problem has disappeared. So you can receive a Sametime notification when something goes wrong — and another notification when the condition has been cleared or CYMON has automatically resolved the issue.
For an operations team, this makes a major difference: you immediately know whether an incident still requires attention.
Security and vulnerability alerts directly in Sametime.
Here is one practical example. CYMON discovers a new vulnerability affecting the monitored Domino environment and immediately sends a notification to the responsible Sametime group.
This is becoming increasingly important in Europe, where continuous monitoring and vulnerability management are important elements of NIS2-related cybersecurity processes.
Instead of waiting for someone to review a report or discover an email later, the responsible team sees the alert immediately in Sametime.
Monitoring is talking to you in your own language
CYMON now also supports multiple languages. Alerts and Grafana dashboards can be presented in around 50 languages, including the native language of your administrators and support teams.
This is especially useful for international organisations, hosting providers and environments where local IT teams operate in different countries.
No agents on Domino servers or other executables.
Installation is intentionally simple. The deployment experience is similar to installing Sametime:
1. Unpack the CYMON package.
2. Run the installation.
3. Provide a Notes user ID for monitoring.
4. Specify the Domino servers you want to monitor.
CYMON performs agentless monitoring and can therefore be introduced into an existing Domino infrastructure without deploying additional monitoring software across every Domino server.
So if you already use Zabbix, or other solution, you can also call CYMON to poll for Domino Health, the new Sametime webhook gives you a simple way to bring alerts into your collaboration environment.
And if you want to go further — with monitoring designed specifically for Domino and Sametime — that is exactly where CYMON comes in.
