Foglight for Exchange rules Running diagnostic tests Managing Exchange metrics

Managing Exchange metrics

Exchange agents collect metrics by default which are then displayed throughout the Foglight for Exchange views. In addition, Exchange agents can be configured to collect other metrics in addition to those being collected by default.

 
* 
IMPORTANT: Enabling optional metric collections may impact performance. It is recommended to only enable the collection groups required to pinpoint a specific issue and then disable the metric collections for these collection groups once the issue is found/resolved.

Foglight for Exchange provides an additional dashboard that can be used to view and manage metrics that can be optionally collected by an Exchange agent. Optional Exchange metrics can only be enabled or disabled using this new dashboard. However, data collection schedules can be modified using any of the following dashboards:

•
Agent Status dashboard (Dashboards > Administration > Agents > Agent Status)
•
Agent Properties dashboard (Dashboards > Administration > Agents > Agent Properties)
•
Exchange Metrics Management Dashboard (Dashboards > Exchange Environment > Administration tab > Metrics Management)
 
* 
NOTE: When using the default data collection schedule (defaultSchedule), you can use the Agent Status, Agent Properties or Metric Management dashboard to modify a data collection interval. However, when using a user-defined data collection schedule, you must use the Agent Status or Agent Properties dashboard to modify a data collection interval.

This section describes the components on the Exchange Metrics Management dashboard. It also provides procedures for enabling and disabling metric collections and for modifying the data collection interval to be used to collect metrics.

For details, see these topics:

Agent Status and Agent Properties dashboards

The Agent Status and Agent Properties dashboards allow you to edit an agent’s properties. Use the Data Collection Scheduler setting on these dashboards to modify the data collection schedule to be used to collect performance metrics.

Figure 52. Data Collection Scheduler

Use the controls in this panel as described in the following table.

Exchange Metrics Management dashboard

The Exchange Metrics Management dashboard lists the metrics that can be optionally collected by an Exchange agent. Using this dashboard, you can enable these metrics to pinpoint specific performance issues or to modify the interval to be used to collect data.

The metrics displayed on the Exchange Metrics Management dashboard are divided into the following components

•
Sections show the metric collections that are configurable for Exchange agents. Using the Metrics Management dashboard, you can modify the interval and time unit for each section which defines when data is to be collected.
•
Collection Groups contain the individual metrics. Using the Metrics Management dashboard, you can enable or disable collection groups. Once enabled, you can also specify to display the collected metrics in a collection group on the Exchange views.
 
* 
NOTE: The content of the Metrics Management dashboard is attached to the default data collection schedule (defaultSchedule) property for an agent. If a user-defined data collection schedule is being used to collect metrics, you must use the Data Collection Scheduler setting on an agent’s properties page to manage the data collection schedule.
NOTE: The metrics that are collected and displayed by default are NOT displayed on the Exchange Metrics Management dashboard, because they cannot be disabled.
Figure 53. Exchange Metrics Management dashboard

The Exchange Metrics Management dashboard contains the following information for each collection metric:

NOTE: Changing the interval or time unit on the Metrics Management dashboard will also change the collection interval for the corresponding collector on the Agent Properties page.

Collection Group

Indicates whether the metrics in the collection group are to be collected and/or displayed.

•
Collecting - A green check mark in this column indicates that the metrics in the collection group are to be collected.
•
Display - A green check mark in this column indicates that the metrics in the collection group are to be displayed.
NOTE: You can only enable the display after the collecting flag has been enabled for a collection group.

Managing Exchange metrics

You can only use the Metrics Management dashboard to enable or disable the collection and/or display of optional performance metrics. However, depending on the data collection schedule being used to collection metrics, you can use the Agent Status (agent properties page), Agent Properties or Metrics Management dashboard to modify the data collection interval.

•
When using the default data collection schedule (defaultSchedule), you can use the Agent Status, Agent Properties or Metric Management dashboard to modify data collection intervals.
•
When using a user-defined data collection schedule, you must use the Agent Status or Agent Properties dashboard to manage data collection schedules.
