This management pack discovers an Exchange Queue Server if there is a Hub Transport or Edge Server role present. It then monitors and collects performance data for the critical Exchange Transport Queues on Exchange 2013 and later.
The monitor thresholds are all set to 5000 queue items by default, and will need to be customized for your environment.
- External Aggregate Delivery Queue Length (All External Queues)
- External Retry Remote Delivery Queue Length
- Internal Aggregate Delivery Queue Length (All Internal Queues)
- Internal Retry Remote Delivery Queue Length
- Retry Non-Smtp Delivery Queue Length
- Retry Mailbox Delivery Queue Length
- Submission Queue Length
- Unreachable Queue Length
The MP will place a new folder in your Exchange MP root folder for queues:
There is a State view, a Performance View, and a quick Dashboard to show you all queues and their performance data:
Alerts will show up like any Exchange alert, in the default view:
It is important to note – that the DEFAULT Queue threshold values are set to “5000” items in the queue, and this MUST be customized for your environment. What’s normal or unhealthy for a Queue, varies wildly with each customer.
