You can use PATROL for Microsoft Exchange Servers to identify traffic patterns in your Exchange network. The following figure shows an Exchange network with servers across multiple sites and an email server external to the Exchange organization.
Exchange network
Using Exchange server A as the monitored server, the traffic-flow parameters include
- Messages sent to and received from each individual server within the site; for example, messages sent from Exchange server A to Exchange server B and messages sent from Exchange server B to Exchange server A
- Total messages sent to and received from all the servers within the site (intrasite); for example, messages sent from Exchange server A to Exchange server B and Exchange server C and messages sent from Exchange server B and Exchange server C to Exchange server A
- Total messages sent to and received from all the servers from other sites within the Exchange organization (intersite); for example, messages sent to and received from Exchange server A to Exchange servers D, E, F, G, H, and J
- Messages sent to and received from external mail servers connected to the Internet; for example, messages sent from Exchange server A to the Foreign Mail Server and messages sent by the Foreign Mail Server to Exchange server A
- Total messages sent to and received from mailboxes on Exchange server A ( local)
- Total messages sent from and received by Exchange server A ( Internet, local, intersite, and intrasite)
Enabling and disabling message tracking
Enable message tracking to monitor top senders, top receivers, and server traffic.
If you disable message tracking for a server, you cannot monitor top receivers, top senders and message traffic
Note
In BMC PATROL for Exchange Servers 6.1.00, the commands for enabling and disabling message traffic of Exchange Servers are not supported . So, the user has to enable the message tracking for Exchange Servers manually.
