Exchange Environment > Monitoring tab

The Monitoring tab provides a summary of the Exchange servers in your environment, the Exchange roles performed by these servers, and the sites where these servers reside. This tab consists of the following views:

•
Exchange Environment Overview
•
Quick View
Exchange Environment Overview

The Exchange Environment Overview is located across the top of the Exchange Environment dashboard. It provides you with an overview of your Exchange environment.

Figure 9. Exchange Environment Overview

The overview contains a tile for the following object types in your Exchange infrastructure: clusters, roles, servers, and sites. Each tile shows the number of corresponding objects of that type in your Exchange infrastructure as well as a count of objects of that type in each of the alarm states (fatal, critical, warning, and normal).

Clicking a tile displays summary information for that object type in the Quick View. Clicking an alarm state (for example, warning) on a tile displays summary information in the Quick View for the objects of that type that are in the selected alarm state.

Quick View

The Quick View is located across the middle of the Exchange Environment dashboard. The following illustration is an example of the Server Quick View, displayed when the Servers tile is selected in the Exchange Environment Overview.

Object Tree view

The Object Tree view is located at the left of the Quick View and displays objects based on the tile selected in the Exchange Environment Overview. Use the Object Tree view to select a single object or a group of objects of a particular type for display in the Object Summary view.

Object Summary view

The Object Summary view is located to the right of the Object Tree view and displays summary information for a single object or a group of objects, depending on what is selected in the Object Tree view.

The Object Summary view displays a number of embedded views which is determined by the item selected in the Exchange Environment Overview and Object Tree view. It provides a quick and easy view into the items that make up the selected Exchange object and the alarm states of these items.

In addition, at the top right of the Object Summary view there is an Explorer link. This enables you to quickly navigate to the Exchange Explorer dashboard for more detailed metrics about the selected object or group of objects.
