Exchange Online

Question

I am trying to setup a monitor that keeps track of the number of pending messages in the Exchange Online service. I can do this via PowerShell by connecting to Exchange Online:

$UserCredential = Get-Credential

$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/ -Credential $UserCredential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection

Import-PSSession $Session

and running

(Get-MessageTrace - Status Pending).count.

Is it be to use SAM's PowerShell monitor to write a script to do this and track the integer returned by the above command?
