Site24x7 Exchange Server monitoring

Among our customers, we noticed that they monitored the exchange servers by using our server monitoring agents. So, we decided to upgrade our monitoring arsenal by including a dedicated and a comprehensive exchange server monitoring feature for users who struggled to maintain the exchange server uptime always.

MS Exchange monitoring on a microscope

There are various roles that define an MS Exchange server infrastructure, and monitoring these roles is a fundamental step in maintaining its uptime.

Exchange server roles relevant to an organization:

  • Mailbox
  • Hub Transport
  • Client Access
  • Unified Messaging
  • Edge Transport

What do these roles mean?

A sneak peak into these roles:

  1. The Mailbox server role hosts mailbox and public folder databases, along with hosting the offline address book.
  2. Hub Transport provides all mail transmission within the organization and is responsible for delivering messages to a recipient's mailbox.
  3. A Client Access server must be deployed to support clients like Microsoft Outlook Web Access, Microsoft ActiveSync clients, POP3, and IMAP4 protocols
  4. The Unified Messaging role enables users to receive voice messages, faxes, and e-mails in their personal Exchange mailbox.
  5. Edge Transport Services handle all Internet-facing, inbound, and outbound mail flow and provide protection against spam.

How do I choose the right monitoring solution?

The right Exchange monitoring solution should be able to represent all the various Exchange roles that are configured on different machines in a simplified graphical view. This will help you easily understand which role is installed in which instance, simplifying usability.
