Monitor Specific Exchange 2003 Data Stores?

[philiph]

I realize I can monitor Exchange Services with my HostMonitor and am doing so successfully, but is it possible to monitor the mounted/unmounted status of specific data stores?

Thanks!

You may use WMI test method to monitor MS Exchange. http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... ts.htm#wmi
Microsoft Exchange offers various WMI objects http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms876479.aspx

On the another hand, Microsoft Exchange Server collects information regarding mounted/unmounted stores into Event Log. You may use Event Log Test method to monitor Exchange-specific information by Source or Event ID. http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... m#chkNTLog

Max, thanks for the links. I should have thought of WMI myself. It's been a long weekend.

Hi!

I am trying to set up the same thing.
I am new to WMI, and I cant figure out which test I should use. Could you help me with this.

You may use both methods. You may use "WMI" test methods to monitor some performance data, like Available Mbytes, Disk Bytes/sec, etc ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/libr ... 97156.aspx ). You may use WMI Explorer, it might help ( http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/wmi/index.htm ).
If you open standard Windows Event Viewer applet, you will see a lot of events from Exchange Server. So, you may use "NT Event Log" to alert you if some specific events occur.
