NCPA / Exchange Queue

[rkane]

I would like to get Messages Pending Routing and Remote Queue Length performance counters from our Exchange environment. Is this available through NCPA?

NCPA should be able to monitor any performance counter that is available on your system. Open the CMD prompt, and type the command below to view the performance counters that are available on your system:

Code: Select all

TypePerf.exe -q

Example (in a browser):

Example (in the CLI):

Code: Select all

# ./check_ncpa.py -H 192.168.x.x -t 'mytoken' -M 'windowscounters/Processor Performance(*)/Processor Frequency'
OK: \Processor Performance(*)\Processor Frequency was 3601.00 Processor Frequency | '\Processor Performance(*)\Processor Frequency'=3601.00;;;

I was able to get some output!
Need to find the right one for the queue now...how do I format the following to simply give me the result?

Code: Select all

OK: \MSExchangeTransport SmtpSend(*)\Average time per message (ms) last 10 minutes was 124.00 Average time per message (ms) last 10 minutes | '\MSExchangeTransport SmtpSend(*)\Average time per message (ms) last 10 minutes'=124.00;;;

I'd like to just see the return be "124ms"

You can't change the output directly in NCPA. You would have to use some kind of wrapper script to do so.
