Troubleshooting errors in Exchange Online (PowerShell Mode)
Prerequisites:
From Applications Manager version 16300 onwards, Microsoft 365 monitor will use Microsoft Graph API as the primary mode of data collection. 
We have migrated from PowerShell to Graph API as Microsoft 365 PowerShell commands were taking more time to execute for huge resources and needed Administrative user privileges to execute the commands. Microsoft provides only archived data in the Graph API. To monitor live data, use the PowerShell mode considering the user privileges and the time taken to fetch huge resources.For REST API related common errors in the Applications Manager from version 16310, refer this KB.

This error occurs when the Exchange Online PowerShell Module is not installed in the AppManager server. From Applications Manager version 16080 we have made the use of Exchange Online PowerShell Module as the default mode for data collection for Exchange Online monitor as the previously used commands are deprecated by Microsoft.
- Open Powershell in administrator mode and run the below command in AppManager installed server and check if the ExchangeOnlineManagement module is listed.
Get-Module -ListAvailable
- If the module is not present, install the module from the below link.
https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/ExchangeOnlineManagement/3.6.0 - Once installed, run the below commands and check if you are able to connect to Exchange Online without any errors and if you are able to see the output.
Import-Module ExchangeOnlineManagementConnect-ExchangeOnline -ShowBanner:$falseGet-EXOMailbox
- If you encountered this error while adding the monitor for the first time, try to add the monitor now if the above commands run without any error.
- For existing monitors, try polling the monitor and check if the error has been rectified and if data is being collected.
- If the error persists, Open Powershell in administrator mode, navigate to <Applications Manager home>\working\conf\application\scripts\powershell directory and run the below command by replacing tenant-name, user-email and password with that used while adding the Microsoft 365 monitor.
.\ExchangeOnlineMetrics.ps1 'tenant-name' 'user-email' 'password' 'TopMailboxes,InactiveMailboxes'
- Check the output received and copy it to a text file.
How to fix "Error : Timeout exceeded during script execution. Data collection failed for Mailbox Statistics. Try increasing the poll interval and timeout." error?
Perform the following steps on the Applications Manager installed machine and send us the output to troubleshoot further:
- Open Powershell as administrator by right-clicking and selecting the 'Run as administrator' option.
- Navigate to <Applications Manager Home>\working\conf\application\scripts\powershell directory.
- Execute the command for the respective monitor type.
- Copy the full output to a text file and send the file to us.
To find the script execution time:
To analyze the time taken for the above scripts, execute the above scripts as mentioned below once again, and share screenshots of time taken in addition to script output from the above scripts:
Measure-Command {<Command>}
- Based on the time taken, increase the Polling interval and Timeout values for the particular monitor. When the polling interval is increased, the health and availability will be checked only at that particular time interval.
- For Exchange Online monitor if huge data is found and takes a very long time, set the timeout value accordingly, and set custom polling interval by following the below steps:
- Go to Admin -> Performance Polling -> Optimize data collection
- Choose Monitor Type as Exchange Online.
- For both Top Mailboxes By Size and Inactive Mailbox Users metrics, choose Collect data at customized time interval option.
- Set the value as 24 Hrs to fetch this data once in a day and click Save.
If the issue still persists share the above outputs, screenshots of the above-mentioned page, monitor information page, edit monitor page, and the latest SIF for analysis.
