Description

The Domino Events task periodically polls the event generators defined in events4.nsf (statistic thresholds, database probes, database replication, mail routing, ACL changes, …) and runs the associated event handlers (Notify, Mail, Run Program, Log). Events_Task_Run_Interval defines how often this check happens within each time window. Smaller values make monitoring more reactive; larger values reduce server load.

Example configuration

Events_Task_Run_Interval=60

Notes & pitfalls

  • The default value of 60 is appropriate for most environments.
  • For high-load / cluster environments, occasionally lower it to 30 if event reaction is time-critical (e.g. replication probes, threshold alarms).
  • On very small servers or test instances, you may raise it to 120–300 to reduce superfluous events.
  • Takes effect only after a restart of the Events task (restart task event).
  • Complements EVENT_POOL_SIZE, Event_NotesLog, Server_Probe_* probes.
