Found New MP: SCOM Exchange 2013+ Addendum for Mailbox Databases and Transport Queues Health

[Juanito99]

With Exchange 2013 Exchange Product Group has chosen a different route and implemented all the monitoring inside Exchange server which is called Exchange Managed Availability. When it comes to monitoring from Operations Manager all we have is a discovery scripts, some perf collection rules and one (yes only one) event monitor which tracks the events created by Exchange Managed Availability Service. I will not be getting into the Managed Availability and its components. As a summary it has different components called health sets and Exchange server performs ~650+ individual checks on these various components.

One of the problems of this component/service based approach is now we don’t have the visibility to individual objects like Mailbox Databases or Transport Queues. These are hidden under specific health sets. After using his management pack in many customers I wanted to do the same for Exchange 2013. I have used his techniques but I had to modify them to work with my own requirements. I have also added some extra monitors rules and added Queue monitoring.
