Monitor Microsoft Exchange Server


The 'MS Exchange check' checks whether the Exchange services are running and whether the Exchange processes are running (and not consuming too much CPU/memory). It also checks whether the relevant WMI counters have proper values.

The following services are monitored:

  • Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology Service
  • Microsoft Exchange Anti-spam Update
  • Microsoft Exchange IMAP4
  • Microsoft Exchange EdgeSync
  • Microsoft Exchange File Distribution
  • Microsoft Exchange Information Store
  • Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Assistants
  • Microsoft Exchange Mail Submission
  • Microsoft Exchange Replication Service
  • Microsoft Exchange System Attendant
  • Microsoft Exchange Search Indexer
  • Microsoft Exchange Service Host
  • Microsoft Exchange Transport
  • Microsoft Exchange Transport Log Search
  • Microsoft Exchange Monitoring
  • Microsoft Exchange POP3

The following processes are monitored:

  • None (processes run as services under the svchost.exe process)

The following WMI Counters are monitored:

  • Win32_PerfRawData_MSExchangeIS_MSExchangeIS:RPCRequests
  • Win32_PerfRawData_MSExchangeIS_MSExchangeISPublic:MessagesQueuedForSubmission

All of the above items can be enabled/disabled to meet your requirements.

How to change the check definition of new checks

To change the default behaviour of new MS Exchange checks, use your favorite text editor and make changes to the following file:
  ChkDefMsExchange.ini
This file is located in the following directory:
  <installation-dir>\Sys\Roles\ directory
for instance:
  C:\Program Files\ActiveXperts\Network Monitor\Sys\Roles\

This ChkDefMsExchange.ini file has the following format: 

[Microsoft Exchange Server]
Services     = Service-1<Service-1-displayname>, 
               ... ,
               Service-n<Service-n-Displayname>
               
Processes    = Process-1<max-cpu(pct):max-memory(mb)>, 
               ... ,
               Process-n<max-cpu(pct):max-memory(mb)>
               
PerfCounters = WmiDataClass-1:WmiData-Instance-1:Condition-1,
               ..., 
               WmiDataClass-n:WmiData-Instance-n:Condition-n
NOTE: Use a '!' sign before a service, process or performance counter to disable the check by default (but still visible so it can be selected).
