On your service you would use:

Check command: check_xi_service_nsclient
$ARG1$: password
$ARG2$: COUNTER
$ARG3$: -l "\\SMTP Server(_Total)\\Remote Queue Length" -w 15 -c 50

For testing from the command line:

I have tried to use counter in the past and it does not work. I am now using NPRE. Is there a way to convert the syntax you sent me to work with NRPE?

@Kxfrancois, If the counter doesn't work that means your server likely doesn't support it. But here's the NRPE syntax:

./check_nrpe -H X.X.X.X -c check_pdh -a "counter=\\SMTP Server(_Total)\\Remote Queue Length" 'warn=value<1000' 'crit=value<500' 'perf-config=*(suffix:none)'

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H burexc002 -t 30 -c check_pdh -a "counter=\\SMTP Server(_Total)\\Remote Queue Length" 'warn=value<1000' 'crit=value<500' 'perf-config=*(suffix:none)'

Failed to poll counter: \SMTP Server(_Total)\Remote Queue Length PdhAddCounter failed: c0000bb8: The specified object was not found on the computer.

@Kxfrancois, You need to contact the manufacturer or refer to the Exchange 2016 manual to see the list of supported counters on your server. Unfortunately, I don't have the Exchange 2016 in the lab to test this command against.

I have been looking every where to try to find the exchange 2016 counter check for remote queue length.

The old command that no longer works is -l "\\SMTP Server(_Total)\\Remote Queue Length" -w 15 -c 30.

Does anyone have the correct check for exchange 2016?

thanks

You would need to see what counters are available on your server, something like this may find what you are looking for

Run the following from Windows cmd.exe to get a list of counters that contain "SMTP"
