The Exchange server parameters that are most important to you depend on your environment and the server role. For most environments, the parameters shown in the following table are key measures of Exchange server health and performance.
Some warning and alarm thresholds are not set by default because appropriate levels will depend on systems hardware and the network environment. Adjust these thresholds as appropriate for your environment.
For more detailed information about these parameters and all other parameters, see the online Help or PATROL Parameter Reference Database.
