Exchange Server monitoring details

The Details tab on the Exchange Server Monitoring page shows data for each Exchange Server journal mailbox target that is associated with the selected Enterprise Vault server.

To view these details for a different Enterprise Vault server in the chosen Enterprise Vault site, select the server from the server list at the top of the page. The "Last updated" time next to the server selection box indicates when the Operations Manager Web page was last refreshed.

The Details tab contains a table of monitoring information for each journal mailbox, plus a table of archiving statistics for the last hour.

Journal Mailbox Details for <mailbox>

The "Journal Mailbox Details" table shows information for one Exchange Server journal mailbox archiving target. The table header shows the name of the journal mailbox and its associated Enterprise Vault archive. To collapse or expand the table, click the icon in the top right corner of the table.

The table shows information for the following parameters:

Inbox Total

The total number of Inbox items

Archive Pending

The number of items in a pending archive state

Archivable Items

The number of Inbox items that are marked for archiving

Failed Operation

Failed operations are listed separately as follows:

  • Copy: The number of items in the journal mailbox "Failed to copy" folder

  • Store: The number of items in the journal mailbox "Failed to store" folder

  • DL Expansion: The number of items in the journal mailbox "Failed DL expansion" folder

  • External Filter: The number of items in the journal mailbox "Failed external filter" folder

  • Above Maximum Size: The number of items in the journal mailbox "Above Maximum Size" folder

  • Invalid Journal Report: The number of items in the journal mailbox "Invalid Journal Report" folder

Days Since Last Backup

The number of days since a backup of the vault store was performed.

Note:

This value is calculated from the age of the oldest item in a pending archive state. It assumes that the "Remove Safety Copies" property of the vault store in the Administration Console is set to "After backup". If "Remove Safety Copies" is set to another value, you need to interpret the value of "Days Since Last Backup" accordingly. For example, if "Remove Safety Copies" is set to "After backup (immediate for journaling)" or "Immediate", the value will typically always be 0.

For each parameter, the table shows the following information:

Status

The status of this parameter. A warning or critical status indicator indicates that the value breaches the relevant threshold.

Value

The value of the parameter

Warning Threshold

The warning threshold for the parameter

Critical Threshold

The critical threshold for the parameter

Last Updated

The date and time when the Monitoring agent last monitored this parameter

Archiving Statistics for Last Hour

The "Archiving Statistics for Last Hour" table relates to journal mailbox items that Enterprise Vault archived in the sixty minutes preceding the last monitoring time.

For each journal mailbox archive, the table shows the following:

Archive Name

The name of the Enterprise Vault archive

Number of Items

The number of items that Enterprise Vault archived

Cumulative Original Size

The total original size of the items that were archived

Cumulative Compressed Size

The total compressed size occupied by the archived items

Note:

The displayed values on this tab represent a snapshot taken at the last monitoring time. Use them only as a guide, not as real-time indicators.

The Monitoring agents expose the Exchange journal mailbox parameters as performance counters under the "EnterpriseVault::Exchange Journaling" performance object category. These performance counters can be viewed using tools such as perfmon. However, their values only change at the sampling frequency of the Monitoring agents.
