Lync/Skype Server Health Test

The Lync/Skype Server Health Test allows you to monitor the basic health of all your Lync or Skype for Business servers. This test allows you to monitor the following types of information:

•
Network availability
•
Operating system disk space usage
•
Any Performance Counter
•
Any Windows service
•
Any Event Log entry
Best Practice

It is recommended that you configure two server health tests - one test without monitoring event logs with an interval of 30 minutes and the second test for monitoring event logs that run only once a day.
