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.

Exchange server monitoring features

OpManager's exchange server monitoring capabilities help you perform monitoring of:

Exchange monitoring: Services

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.

Exchange monitoring services  - ManageEngine OpManager

OpManager's exchange monitoring tool monitors the following critical services:

  • Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) that transports electronic mail across the network.
  • Exchange Information Store (IS) that manages Microsoft Exchange Information Storage.
  • Exchange MTA Stacks that provide Microsoft Exchange X.400 services.
  • Exchange Routing Engine that processes Microsoft Exchange routing information.
  • Exchange System Attendant that provides system-related services for Microsoft Exchange.

The unavailability of the aforementioned services could impact the performance of your exchange server and so exchange server monitoring becomes vital.

Exchange monitoring: Information store

Exchange monitoring information store

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.

Exchange monitoring: Queues and connections

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.

Exchange Monitoring: Dashboard
