Businesses today rely on their mail and messaging systems more than any other piece of infrastructure. Seasoned Exchange administrators know that it is essential to monitor Exchange 24/7, not only to prevent downtime and quickly fix problems after they arise, but also to know the health of individual components and to identify potential problems and performance degradations before they turn into costly downtime. Hence exchange monitoring is gaining significance with increased business needs.
OpManager's Microsoft Exchange monitoring supports the following Microsoft Exchange versions out-of-the-box.
OpManager's exchange server monitoring capabilities help you perform monitoring of:
Exchange Server depends on certain critical services for proper operation. The first step in ensuring Exchange availability is to monitor these critical services with a potent exchange server monitoring tool.
OpManager's exchange monitoring tool monitors the following critical services:
The unavailability of the aforementioned services could impact the performance of your exchange server and so exchange server monitoring becomes vital.
Exchange's Information Store (IS) serves email requests within a particular Exchange Server domain. Problems like information store thread, spending a lot of time looking up an account security identifier (SID) in the Active Directory service or the IS intermittently stopping to respond can occur and hence monitoring exchange is crucial. Such situations can be avoided by continuously monitoring the IS & configuring thresholds.
A growing queue of connections/active connections is a sure indicator of trouble. A growing queue may mean that the Exchange server is under attack from spam. The number of connections can grow too if an Exchange Server underperforms & fails to close the connections. A potential blockage can appear due to a large number of queues and/or connections which will cripple Exchange's performance. Hence monitoring queues & connections will help identify such bottlenecks early on. And OpManager's Exchange performance monitoring helps identify this through setting up of thresholds & alerting you of the imminent failure.
OpManager's exchange monitoring software offers an intuitive exchange monitoring dashboard which gives you an overall picture of your Exchange health at-a-glance. Exchange Monitor also includes more than 60 critical parameters that can be monitored out-of-the-box.
