Not to my knowlege. The reason probably is that there are quite a number
of different things which could be checked. So far, I'm checking TCP port
1352 with check_tcp to see if Domino is accepting connections (NRPC) and
of course the usual ports for HTTP, SMTP, LDAP (80, 25, 389). As you rightly
say, that is not enough for me either.

What I'm also doing (our Domino servers run on Win32) is to use nsclient on
Win32 and check_nt on the Nagios host to check for running Domino services.
Of course that doesn't really do much either.

To my mind there are two more steps which could be taken, but I haven't (yet)
gone that route: the first is to use the Domino SNMP agent (is somewhere
on the distribution CD) and check_snmp to query some variables (no experience
with the agent).

The second is to write custom apps which perform some Notes function (e.g.
check how many documents in the server's outgoing mail.box) and have
check_nrpe or perhaps even NSCA use that for alerting...

I don't see that. NXE is to me a toolset for re-arraning Nagios' data in
order to produce reports. I may be wrong though.
