Monitoring Microsoft Exchange 2003 servers

The Exchange 2003 Monitor lets you monitor the Microsoft® Exchange™ 2003 Server applications. The Exchange 2003 monitor provides real-time information about the state and health of Microsoft Exchange servers on your network.

The Exchange 2003 Monitor supports monitoring of Microsoft Exchange Server versions 2000 and 2003, which can be on any machine in your network.

Note: This feature is available with WhatsUp Gold Premium Edition only. To update your license, visit the WhatsUp Customer Portal.

To create custom parameters to monitor, the Exchange Server host must be WMI-enabled.

Why use it?

WhatsUp Gold can monitor and report the status of the standard services associated with any mail server, such as SMTP, POP3, and IMAP. If any of these services fail, your users are unable to get mail. It is a good idea to set up monitoring on these services so that you are the first to know if they fail. The Exchange Monitor extends monitoring to parameters reported by Microsoft Exchange, allowing you to get an early warning of a degradation in performance. For example, you can monitor the SMTP queues to see if performance is within an expected range, and if not, you can intervene before the SMTP service fails.
