SQL/Exchange Memory Utilization

Because of the way SQL and Exchange allocate memory, the "Top 10 Nodes by Memory Used" is pretty useless at the moment. The top 10 nodes in our site are always SQL and Exchange.

None of our other servers ever seem to make it into the top 10 list. Is there a better way to deal with this? Can we exclude SQL and Exchange servers from the top 10 list? I've thought about creating a custom property and filter on this, but I'd prefer something a little more "automated".

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Systemstate

it would need to be a custom property or a subnet or a caption/hostname pattern or a list of captions. How do you know it's a SQL or exchange server?

Thanks netlogix, that's pretty much what I was afraid of.

Not sure what you mean by "how do you know if it's a SQL or exchange server" though. I mean, I administer them so I darn well ought to recognize them by name when I see them in a top 10 list. ;-)

for me, a SQL server's hostname will be MS###DB#, where ### is location and # is a sequential number. I could write a filter that is name not like MS___DB_. And exchange database is MS###XB# and CAS MS___XC_ and the IP are within a certain range.
