To get that kind of information from Exchange requires analysis of the message tracking logs and possibly the IMS archival logs depending on the granualrity of data you desire.
Q173280 and Q173364 contain information on the tracking log format and event ID meanings. For a single server organization, parsing them and using a tool like Access (or perl) to report on them is relatively straightforward. http://www.swinc.com/resource/scripts.htm has a couple of scripts which do similar things for E2K, there might be something to be gained by looking at them. -- Chris Scharff MessageOne -----Original Message----- From: Heather Bellson To: Exchange Discussions Sent: 4/16/2002 7:43 PM Subject: performance monitoring I'm trying to determine how many messages/day are delivered to local recipients from local recipients, as compared to how many messages are delivered from internet recipients to local recipients and vice versa. I'm taking my first dive into performance monitoring and I'm a little overwhelmed with how many different "counters" there are, and each report different numbers for what appears to me to be the same thing, with no apparent pattern. I never imagined there'd be so much to choose from! Can any of you give me some guidance on the counters I should add to performance monitor to get some kind of meaningful data? Or even a good reference for performance monitoring in exchange? fyi, exchange 5.5 sp4, nt4 sp6a, single mail server site.
