Hi,

Have you tried to use the default Exchange templates?

Exchange 2007

Exchange 2007 WMI Counters

Exchange Server (via SNMP)

Exchange Server (via WMI)

Exchange Server 2000 and 2003

Most of them monitor Exchange queues.

HTH,

Yann

hi,

what we need to see is the number of queues not the graph.

What do you mean by the number of queues? Do you mean the number of messages in a particular message queue? eg. Mailbox Receive Queue, Mailbox Send Queue, SMTP Local Queue...etc.

Here try this script... It will tally all the queues together and report back a number.. for example 350, and then set thresholds within the component and then create an alert to notify you when it gets to high..

Here is the vbscript.

Dim SumMessages

strComputer = wscript.arguments(0)
strUser = wscript.arguments(1)
strPassword = wscript.arguments(2)

On Error Resume Next

Set objSWbemLocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
Set objWMIService = objSWbemLocator.ConnectServer (strComputer, "root\cimv2\Applications\Exchange", strUser, strPassword)

Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM ExchangeQueue",,48)

For Each objItem in colItems
SumMessages = SumMessages + objItem.NumberOfMessages
Next

If IsEmpty(SumMessages) Then
                Wscript.Echo "Message: Queue Unavailable"
                Wscript.Echo "Statistic:1"
                Wscript.quit(1)
ElseIf SumMessages > 250 Then
                Wscript.Echo "Message: Queue at critical level"
                Wscript.Echo "Statistic:" & SumMessages
                Wscript.quit(3)
ElseIf SumMessages > 150 Then
                Wscript.Echo "Message: Queue at critical level"
                Wscript.Echo "Statistic:" & SumMessages
                Wscript.quit(3)
ElseIf SumMessages > 150 Then
                Wscript.Echo "Message: Queue at warning level"
                Wscript.Echo "Statistic:" & SumMessages
                Wscript.quit(2)
Else
                Wscript.Echo "Message: Queue at normal level"
                Wscript.Echo "Statistic:" & SumMessages
                Wscript.quit(0)
End If

here is the argument:
