has anyone used this template for the SAM?
I've used this template before. Do you have a specific question you'd like to ask regarding this template?
yes. i have an issue at the moment. My exchange store database is on an ISCSI drive and as a result i have errors on two components as the script cant read the path. Excepet 3 compoments which is(total email size,total number of mailbox,total size of the specified database). i have attached below the error. I can reach the path of the edb file without the $ sign(d$) on the server example(\\ex-01\D\ EXCHSRVR\EX-01-MB2\EX01-MBX2.edb ) rather than \\ex-01\D$\ EXCHSRVR\EX-01-MB2\EX01-MBX2.edb
also can we get alerts without the whole script working?
1)Testing on node EX-01:failed with 'Unknown' status.
Scripting Error: Script does notcontain the expected parameters or is improperly formatted. 'Statistic'missing.
Output:==============================================
Message: Cannot find path'\\EX-01\D$\EXCHSRVR\EX-01-MB2\EX01-MBX2.edb' because it does not exist.
2) Testing on nodeEX-01: failed with 'Unknown' status.
Message: The database:EX01-MBX2 does not exist. Check the database name.
You can disable any of the component monitors that are not working or you don't need/want monitored and still be alerted on the others that are not disabled. As for the ones that are not working it's likely because some additional configuration is necessary. If you'd like to troubleshoot the component monitors that aren't working on a one-by one basis that's probably as complex as we'll be able to handle via Thwack. I suggest opening a case with support if you need more immediate assistance.
As for some of the additional configuration needed to make this template work, if you look at "Size of largest user mailbox (MB)" for instance you'll notice that you need to specify some command line options as part of the script. Those command line arguments include.
Exchange_server_name – hostname or FQDN of target Exchange server;
exchange_version – version of target Exchange server (2007 or 2010);
domain_controller_name – hostname or FQDN of domain controller;
These would then be entered into the "Script Arguments" field in the format [exchange_server_name,version,domain_controller]
thanks very much.
