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

  1. By default we fetch the top 20 mailboxes based on the Total Mailbox Size metric.
  2. To increase the number of mailboxes fetched, update the Global Config key "am.exchange.server.mailbox.top.limit". 
  3. Run the following query in the Applications Manager query tool:
INSERT INTO AM_GLOBALCONFIG VALUES ('am.exchange.server.mailbox.top.limit', '100')
  1. Customers can configure the system to fetch the top mailboxes based on any utilization metric.
  2. 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')
  1. Customers can use any utilization metric name and specify a percentage threshold above which data should be collected.

Inactive Mailboxes

  1. By default, we fetch the 100 most inactive mailboxes.
  2. To increase the number of mailboxes fetched, update the Global Config key "am.exchange.server.mailbox.inactive.limit".
  3. Run the following query in the Applications Manager query tool:
INSERT INTO AM_GLOBALCONFIG VALUES ('am.exchange.server.mailbox.inactive.limit', '200')
Note:
  1. For both am.exchange.server.mailbox.top.limit and am.exchange.server.mailbox.inactive.limit, the maximum value allowed is 1000.
  2. 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.
  3. If configurations need to be modified later, use an UPDATE query and restart Applications Manager for the changes to apply.
