Hi

I saw the post about monitoring the size of Mailboxes on this one https://helpdesk.paessler.com/en/support/solutions/articles/59749-monitoring-quotas-on-exchange-2010-user-mailboxes

and i have the same problem.

With the sensor Exchange Mailbox (Powershell), I can check the Mailbox size but I have to add a sensor for every Mailbox (Exchange user) and for ervery new user I have to do it again.

Is there another sensor or a solution to Monitor the sizes of all mailboxes?

Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul,
Currently there is no possibility to monitor the size of all mailboxes. Sorry.
Best regards

Hi Paekau

It depends a little bit when you want to get an alarm.

I suggest creating an Powershell script which checks the sizes of all mailboxes with: Get-MailboxStatistics -server EXCSRV01 | select DisplayName,TotalItemSize or directly Get-MailboxStatistics -server EXCSRV01 | where {$_.TotalItemSize.Value.ToMB() -ge 5120 If one is bigger as 5120 MB, return an error to PRTG in the script, so that the sensor turns red. If that happens, you have to manually open the Powershellscript output to see which mailbox it is.

A really more advanced thing would be to use the script above, then create an XML output, formated the way PRTG needs it. For each Mailbox, a sensorchannel will be created in which you see the mailboxsize. Downside is, that everytime you create a new mailbox, you need to recreate the Sensor. Because the channels are created when the script is reading the data from the XML File the first time.

cheers
Thomas
