Exchange Server - How to filter Mailboxes and change the number of Mailboxes fetched
From Applications Manager version 172900 onwards, we have supported filtering options in Exchange Server Mailbox Statistics.
Top Mailboxes
- By default we fetch the top 20 mailboxes based on the Total Mailbox Size metric.
- To increase the number of mailboxes fetched, update the Global Config key "am.exchange.server.mailbox.top.limit".
- Run the following query in the Applications Manager query tool:
INSERT INTO AM_GLOBALCONFIG VALUES ('am.exchange.server.mailbox.top.limit', '100')
- Customers can configure the system to fetch the top mailboxes based on any utilization metric.
- For example, use the following query to fetch only mailboxes with Warning Quota Utilization above 85%:
INSERT INTO AM_GLOBALCONFIG VALUES ('am.exchange.server.mailbox.filter.criteria', 'Warning Quota Utilization_85')
- Customers can use any utilization metric name and specify a percentage threshold above which data should be collected.
Inactive Mailboxes
- By default, we fetch the 100 most inactive mailboxes.
- To increase the number of mailboxes fetched, update the Global Config key "am.exchange.server.mailbox.inactive.limit".
- Run the following query in the Applications Manager query tool:
INSERT INTO AM_GLOBALCONFIG VALUES ('am.exchange.server.mailbox.inactive.limit', '200')
Note:
- For both am.exchange.server.mailbox.top.limit and am.exchange.server.mailbox.inactive.limit, the maximum value allowed is 1000.
- When applying these configurations for the first time, use the INSERT query. The changes will take effect in the next poll of the Exchange Server monitor.
- If configurations need to be modified later, use an UPDATE query, and restart Applications Manager for the changes to apply.
