Adding performance counters

You can include additional performance counters that you want to monitor for the specific server health test that you want to run.

You can add more than one instance of the same performance counter if you want to monitor for different conditions. For example, two instances of the counter "MSExchangeTransport Queues\Retry Mailbox Delivery Queue Length (_Total)" are pre-defined.

1
Click <Add Performance Counters> located under the Performance Counters section in the listview of the server health test that you select.

Exchange health tests with preconfigured counters use the threshold value for 1000-MBps network adapter, which is 73400320 bytes. If you are using a 100-Mbps network adapter, you may modify the counter to 7340032 bytes.

For more information on counters, see Counters with Non-Zero Alarm Values .

Adding event log entries

You can include additional Event Log Entries that you want to monitor for the specific server health test that you want to run.

1
Click Add Event Log Entries located under the Event Log section in the listview for the server health test you selected.

You can also enter a wild card character ( * ) at the end of the source string. For example, BlackBerry* would match the BlackBerry Policy Service, BlackBerry Router, etc.

You can monitor specific event logs by filtering by event IDs or by text in the event ID descriptions. You can specify the following:

1000:Error to monitor events with event ID 1000 and containing the word ’Error’
1000–2000:Error to monitor events within the range of event IDs 1000 to 2000 and containing the word ’Error’
1004:!Error to monitor events with the event ID 1004 and not containing the word ’Error’
1004–1005:!Succeeded to monitor events within the range of event IDs 1004 to 1005 and not containing the word ’Succeeded’
1000–2000:Error,1010:!Warning to monitor all events between event ID 1000 and 2000 that contains the word ’Error’, except those with event ID 1010 that contains the word ’Warning’
1000:Long Phrase to monitor events with the event ID 1000 that contains the specified long phrase. It cannot contain a comma.
1000:Error, 1000:Warning to monitor all events with the event ID 1000 and contains the word ’Error’ or ’Warning’

The following rules apply:

The Exchange Applications and Services event logs store the events from a single application or component instead of events that have system-wide impact. This category of event logs is known as an application's crimson channel.

When creating a server health test for Exchange 2013 and Exchange 2016 mailbox servers, you will see the Microsoft-Exchange-HighAvailability/Monitoring log entry is set by default in the event log list.

For other crimson channel log entries or for earlier versions of Exchange, Lync or Skype for Business, or Blackberry, you can manually add an log entry for an Applications and Services event log.

Click Properties and copy the name that appears in the Full Name field.

In the UC Diagnostics Management Console, when creating the server health test, click Add Event Log Entries located under the Event Log section.
