Exchange 2007 WMI Counters Template (SolarWinds)

Exchange 2007 WMI Counters Template

 

This template creates APM applications to ensure the reliability of your Microsoft Exchange 2007 servers by warning you before performance problems occur.

 

Some of the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) performance counters monitored in this template are only available to Microsoft Exchange 2007 servers that fill Hub Transport Server and/or Mailbox Server roles. Associating this template with a server that does not fill one or both of these roles results in an Unknown status for the unavailable WMI component monitors.

 

After importing this template, set the Statistic Critical Threshold for the WMI component monitors in the template as follows:

Note: Be sure to Click Submit after modifying the threshold values.

 

Role: Hub Transport Server
- Aggregate Delivery Queue Length (AllQueues)
  Statistic Critical Threshold: 5000

 

- Active Remote Delivery Queue Length
  Statistic Critical Threshold: 250

 

- Active Mailbox Delivery Queue Length
  Statistic Critical Threshold: 250

 

- Submission Queue Length
  Statistic Critical Threshold: 100

 

- Active NonSmtp Delivery Queue Length
  Statistic Critical Threshold: 250

 

- Retry Mailbox Delivery Queue Length
  Statistic Critical Threshold: 100

 

- Retry NonSmtp Delivery Queue Length
  Statistic Critical Threshold: 100

 

- Retry Remote Delivery Queue Length
  Statistic Critical Threshold: 100

 

- Unreachable Queue Length
  Statistic Critical Threshold: 100

 

- Largest Delivery Queue Length
  Statistic Critical Threshold: 200

 

- Poison Queue Length
  Statistic Critical Threshold: 0

 

Role: Mailbox Server
- RPCAveragedLatency
  Statistic Critical Threshold: 25

 

- RPCNumofSlowPackets
  Statistic Critical Threshold: 3

 

- RPCRequests
  Statistic Critical Threshold: 70

 

- MessagesQueuedForSubmission
  Statistic Critical Threshold: 50

 

- Public: MessagesQueuedForSubmission
  Statistic Critical Threshold: 20

 

- ReplicationReceiveQueueSize
  Statistic Critical Threshold: 100

 

- SearchTaskRate
  Statistic Critical Threshold: 10

 

- SlowFindRowRate
  Statistic Critical Threshold: 10

 

- Averagedocumentindexingtime
  Statistic Critical Threshold: 30
 
These Statistic Critical Threshold values were derived from guidance provided by:

No luck getting this to work. I have tons of other WMI counters working on my ex07 boxes, but no luck with any of the counters in this template.

They all work for me except for the MessagesQueuedForSubmission I get invalid WMI query. I really know next to nothing about WMI, so I am going to do so research and see if I can get this one to work. P.S. Unless the exchange server you are monitoring has the hub/transport and mailbox role on it, then only half of these counters will work.

Ok. I changed the MessagesQueuedForSubmission component. The WQL query used to be: SELECT MessagesQueuedForSubmission FROM Win32_PerfFormattedData_MSExchangeIS_MSExchangeISMailbox WHERE Name='First Storage Group-Mailbox Database' We have more than one storage group on that exchange server and none by that name, and we want to get the total so I changed it to: SELECT MessagesQueuedForSubmission FROM Win32_PerfFormattedData_MSExchangeIS_MSExchangeISMailbox WHERE Name='_Total'

Anyone experiencing problems with this Counter: - Averagedocumentindexingtime?  I'm not sure it's working right - I set it to 70 and still get Component Status Critical alerts...

run the following command on your target server if you are seeing the invalid class error in APM when running a WMI query:

Windows 2000: winmgmt /resyncperf

Windows XP, 2003, Vista: wmiadap.exe /f
