eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by XchgMailboxTest

This test automatically discovers all the mailboxes on a monitored Exchange 2000/2003/2007 server, and reports the usage of each mailbox. Mailbox monitoring enables Exchange administrators to be proactively alerted when the mailbox usage grows close to the mailbox quota. In the long run, such a practice could deter mailbox users from storing unnecessary mails, thus automatically making room for important ones.

Note:

This test will work only if the eG agent executing the test is configured to run using the Exchange administrator account.

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Mailbox_size The current size of this mailbox MB  
Quota_size The maximum size upto which the mailbox can grow MB  
Percentage_used The percentage of mailbox space that has been utilized currently Percent This is computed as Mailbox_size/Quota_size*100. If the value of this measure is very high, it indicates that the mailbox is being over-utilized. If the situation is left unchecked, then soon the mail server will bounce off all new mails that are being delivered to the mailbox. You might want to clear unwanted mails from your mailbox to prevent such an occurrence.
