What ActiveSync events are collected and displayed in the insights?

If you have configured your Exchange CAS servers as described in this appendix, you can view data about different types of ActiveSync events in the insights.

To see the event type in an insight, click the details browser icon in the top right corner of the main insight. The following events are collected and displayed in the ActiveSync insights.

 
Table 36. ActiveSync event types that are collected and reported.
Event Type
Description

Sync

Synchronizes the changes in a folder between the client and the server.

SendMail

Sends mail to the server. This command is issued in the HTTP POST command's URI and does not contain an XML body. The body contains the MIME message instead.

SmartForward

Forwards a message object without retrieving the full message object from the server.

SmartReply

Replies to a message object without retrieving the full message object from the server.

GetAttachment

Retrieves an email attachment from the server.

FolderSync

Synchronizes the folder hierarchy but does not synchronize the items in the folders.

FolderCreate

Creates an email, calendar, or contacts folder on the server.

FolderDelete

Deletes a folder from the server.

FolderUpdate

Moves a folder from one location to another location on the server and is used to rename folders.

MoveItems

Moves items from one folder to another.

GetItemEstimate

Gets an estimate of the number of items in a folder that is synchronized.

MeetingResponse

Used to accept, tentatively accept, or decline a meeting request in the user's Inbox folder.

Search

Finds and retrieves information about contacts and recipients in the Global Address List (GAL).

Settings

Supports getting and setting global properties, such as Out-of-Office (OOF) and device information.

Ping

Requests that the server monitor all specified folders for changes that require the client to resynchronize.

ItemOperations

Identifies the body of a request or response as containing a set of commands operating on items.

Provision

Gets the security policy settings set by the server administrator, such as the user's minimum password length requirement.

ResolveRecipients

Resolves a list of supplied recipients and, optionally, fetches their S/MIME certificates so that clients can send encrypted messages.

ValidateCert

Validates a certificate that has been received through an S/MIME mail.

HealthCheck

Internal access from Microsoft Exchange to check the health of the ActiveSync service.

The ActiveSync data collector skips any IIS log entries for ActiveSync events that are missing critical fields. The collector writes partial information for ActiveSync events that are missing non-critical fields.

If you see error or warnings in the data collection status for Exchange IIS Logs jobs that indicate there are missing fields, ensure that all of the recommended W3C logging fields were selected when you configured IIS logging on your Exchange CAS server.
