Hi,

I need to monitor the last time since received email. As we have over 300 emails, i need a sensor that can monitor when the last email arrived. If we don`t receive an email during one hour than give an error. Currently we are using a PowerShell script that monitors the number of emails present in a mailbox, we need to add monitoring by hour. Is there a way to achieve this with PRTG? Can someone give us a hand? This is the script we are using for number of emails:

$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri http://server.domain/PowerShell/ -Authentication Kerberos
Import-PSSession $Session -DisableNameChecking
 $Inbox = Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -Identity "mailbox1.com"| Where {$_.Name -match "Inbox|Postvak IN"} | Select ItemsInFolder
 Write-Host
"<prtg>"
    "<result>"
        "<channel>Country - Mailbox1</channel>"
        "<value>$($Inbox.ItemsInFolder)</value>"
    "</result>"
 $Inbox = Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -Identity "mailbox2.com"| Where {$_.Name -match "Inbox|Postvak IN"} | Select ItemsInFolder
 Write-Host
    "<result>"
        "<channel>Country - Mailbox2</channel>"
        "<value>$($Inbox.ItemsInFolder)</value>"
    "</result>"
 		Remove-PSSession $Session
"</prtg>"

Hello there,

Thanks for your KB post.

I can't seem to find any exact script for this from our KB for this.

The script required a check and compare function to return the status. We have something similar that can serve as an idea or starting point.

With kind regards,
