Microsoft Exchange Server Performance Monitoring

Monitoring Exchange ServerIntroduction to Exchange Server Monitoring

This page provides an outline of strategies to manage and monitor your Microsoft Exchange servers.

Topics for Exchange Performance Monitoring

Automation in Exchange 2013

Monitoring the health of system resources
This new capability means that when the server's performance starts to suffer because of an increased load, Exchange progressively slows down the lowest-priority workloads.  In this way there is a good chance that Exchange return the resource to health without noticeably affecting the user experience.

Exchange processes are throttled based on the way key server resources are currently being used.  Exchange monitors these resources to determine when to change the priority of these workloads:

  • Local server CPU usage
  • Active Directory replication latency
  • Mailbox database RPC latency
  • Content indexing age of last notification
  • Content indexing retry queue size

Recovering from storage malfunctions
Microsoft's strategy is to assist Exchange in recovering automatically from failures that affect resiliency.  For example, Exchange 2013 has automatic healing methods for servers experiencing long I/O times, or excessive memory consumption by processes such as MSExchangeRepl.exe.

Automatic reseeding
In the event that you need to restore a mail database, Exchange 2013's automatic reseed makes the process easier and quicker.

Assume the worst case and a disk fails.  What happens next is that a copy of the Exchange database is copied to a reserve disk on the same server. If multiple database copies were stored on the failed disk, then they can all be automatically re-seeded on a spare disk. This enables faster reseeds, as the active databases are likely to be on multiple servers and the data is copied in parallel.

System resource thresholds
You can use policy settings to define thresholds at which Exchange system health is underloaded, overloaded, or in critical state.

  • Underloaded Work measured against the resource, can be increased when below this threshold.
  • Overloaded Work against the resource must be reduced when above this threshold.
  • Critical Work against the resource must be stopped when the value is above this threshold.

Using PowerShell to Manage Exchange Server

There are dozens of PowerShell cmdlets which are useful in solving simple day-to-day problems, or for fixing a one-off problem, but for serious scripting you need to hire an expert such as Steve Goodman, (see script below).

PowerShell Cmdlets for Managing Exchange Health

Here are a fraction of PowerShell cmdlets to manage Exchange server.

  • Add-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupServer
  • Restore-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup
  • Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup
  • Start-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup
  • Stop-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup
  • Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus
  • Get-TransportService
  • Test-EdgeSynchronization
  • Test-Mailflow
  • Test-SmtpConnectivity
  • Resume-Queue
  • Retry-Queue

Solution: SolarWinds Server Application Management (SAM)

An alternative method of managing your Exchange enterprise would be to employ a third-party product such as SolarWinds SAM.  It's no surprise that their development team incorporated many PowerShell commands in their SAM software.

SolarWinds perfected a new monitoring system called AppInsight on SQL; as databases are at the heart of Exchange, it's no surprise that they now have extended AppInsight to discover, monitor and even configure Microsoft Exchange Server.

What you need from monitoring tools is the ability to manage remote systems in particular, to leverage Software as a Service (SaaS).  Virtualization also provides a challenge, one that that SAM can solve by mapping from the Exchange application to its resource dependencies.

In practical terms, this is what SAM with AppInsight could do for you:

Manage Mailboxes Proactively: Examine the top % quota used mailboxes; check mail usage patterns, for example attachment sizes. Find mailboxes by user.  Create alerts to notify users directly when they are about to exceed size thresholds.

Check Exchange Server Health: AppInsight provides the granularity to observe details on storage I/O, database copy status, replication status, and other performance metrics.

Remove Dormant Mailboxes: Free-up database capacity by investigating dormant/inactive mailboxes of users who have left or no longer need the mailbox.

Plan Your Mailbox Database Capacity: Obtain details of the mailbox database, for example, volume usage, transaction log size and file size. This knowledge will assist you in calculating the overall capacity, and in identifying constraints.

Alerting: SAM's AppInsight gathers information on the Size and Space Use of the Mailbox Databases. Naturally, it will provide reports and trending analysis on factors such as remaining free space on the volume, and file size limits imposed. Perhaps the most useful feature of AppInsight is the ability to create all manner of alerts to keep you one step ahead of the users.

Example PowerShell Script to Manage an Exchange Environment

I reproduce Steve Goodman's script below only to highlight the difficulty of creating Exchange management scripts yourself.

<#
.SYNOPSIS
Creates a HTML Report describing the Exchange environment

Steve Goodman
(Updates in v1.5.6 by Neil Johnson to support Exchange Server 2013)

THIS CODE IS MADE AVAILABLE AS IS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. THE ENTIRE
RISK OF THE USE OR THE RESULTS FROM THE USE OF THIS CODE REMAINS WITH THE USER.

Version 1.5.8, 2nd Feb 2014

.DESCRIPTION

This script creates a HTML report showing the following information about an Exchange
2013, 2010 and to a lesser extent, 2007 and 2003, environment.

The following is shown:

* Report Generation Time
* Total Servers per Exchange Version (2003 > 2010 or 2007 > 2013)
* Total Mailboxes per Exchange Version, Office 365 and Organisation
* Total Roles in the environment

Then, per site:
* Total Mailboxes per site
* Internal, External and CAS Array Hostnames
* Exchange Servers with:
o Exchange Server Version
o Service Pack
o Update Rollup and rollup version
o Roles installed on server and mailbox counts
o OS Version and Service Pack

Then, per Database availability group (Exchange 2010/2013):
* Total members per DAG
* Member list
* Databases, detailing:
o Mailbox Count and Average Size
o Archive Mailbox Count and Average Size (Only shown if DAG includes Archive Mailboxes)
o Database Size and whitespace
o Database and log disk free
o Last Full Backup (Only shown if one or more DAG database has been backed up)
o Circular Logging Enabled (Only shown if one or more DAG database has Circular Logging enabled)
o Mailbox server hosting active copy
o List of mailbox servers hosting copies and number of copies

Finally, per Database (Non DAG DBs/Exchange 2007/Exchange 2003)
* Databases, detailing:
o Storage Group (if applicable) and DB name
o Server hosting database
o Mailbox Count and Average Size
o Archive Mailbox Count and Average Size (Only shown if DAG includes Archive Mailboxes)
o Database Size and whitespace
o Database and log disk free
o Last Full Backup (Only shown if one or more DAG database has been backed up)
o Circular Logging Enabled (Only shown if one or more DAG database has Circular Logging enabled)

This does not detail public folder infrastructure, or examine Exchange 2007/2003 CCR/SCC clusters
(although it attempts to detect Clustered Exchange 2007/2003 servers, signified by ClusMBX).

IMPORTANT NOTE: The script requires WMI and Remote Registry access to Exchange servers from the server
it is run from to determine OS version, Update Rollup, Exchange 2007/2003 cluster and DB size information.

.PARAMETER HTMLReport
Filename to write HTML Report to

.PARAMETER SendMail
Send Mail after completion. Set to $True to enable. If enabled, -MailFrom, -MailTo, -MailServer are mandatory

.PARAMETER MailFrom
Email address to send from. Passed directly to Send-MailMessage as -From

.PARAMETER MailTo
Email address to send to. Passed directly to Send-MailMessage as -To

.PARAMETER MailServer
SMTP Mail server to attempt to send through. Passed directly to Send-MailMessage as -SmtpServer

.PARAMETER ScheduleAs
Attempt to schedule the command just executed for 10PM nightly. Specify the username here, schtasks (under the hood) will ask for a password later.

.PARAMETER ViewEntireForest
By default, true. Set the option in Exchange 2007 or 2010 to view all Exchange servers and recipients in the forest.

.PARAMETER ServerFilter
Use a text based string to filter Exchange Servers by, e.g. NL-* – Note the use of the wildcard (*) character to allow for multiple matches.

.EXAMPLE
Generate the HTML report
.\Get-ExchangeEnvironmentReport.ps1 -HTMLReport .\report.html
