Hi,
I am not new to Solarwinds Orion but I am to AppInsight for Exchange and I know little about Exchange although having to learn fast. A third party has created a list of things we should be monitoring on Exchange and I am looking at the Mailbox servers at the moment. I am finding that some of the counters/monitors we are being asked to use appear in more than one SAM - so my questions are
1. Should we use the counters in AppInsight for Exchange or the specific one for the Mailbox in Exchange 2010 Mailbox Role Counters (Advanced) or Exchange 2007-2010 Mailbox Role Service and Counters (Basic)?
2. One of the counters I have only found in Exchange 2007 Mailbox Role Counters (Advanced) for % Processor time (msftefd) I couldn't find it in the 2010 version - is it possible to add this to 2010 SAM or not as I couldn't find a way to add new components relating to Exchange to the templates.
I do have a list of a lot of other monitors from the 3rd party that I can't find in Solarwinds for the Mailboxes.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Z.
