New services?

[DmK]

Hello,

I'm using zabbix as well now. By the way my company needs some more services, i would like to know if it possible to do , and if it will be possible in next versions.
I'm using release 1.0 at the moment.

-Monitoring "Exchange" on windows server
-Monitoring "IIS" on windows server
-Send alerts when an application goes down and to name it.

Thanks in advance,

Mat'

There are various ways to do. (at least in 1.1A7)

You can use simple smtp or http checks,query the status of the service or use external checks.

Note that one can also monitor any metric available to Windows Performance Monitor.

I'm going to follow those ways.

Thanks a lot.

In fact i tried it, but for the smtp server ( exchange then..) i can't add it on windows it tells me that it is not monitored or something like this, do not accept to monitor it

What do you want to monitor on the exchange server? If its just smtp than there is nothing special about exchange. If you are interested in queue related stuff here are some of the pefmon items I monitor.


\smtp server\Local queue\_Total - This is the queue that is attempting to deliver to you exchange mailboxes (mail store)

\smtp server\Remote queue\_Total - This is the queue for messages that exchage is attempting to route to an external recipient (ie another server)

\smtp server\Categorizer queue\_Total - This is the queue where exchange holds messages while it does things, like look up addresses in AD, or DNS look ups.

PerfCounter = smtp_total_badmailed_messages_general_failure,"\SMTP Server(_Total)\Badmailed Messages (General Failure)",10
PerfCounter = smtp_total_remote_queue_length,"\SMTP Server(_Total)\Remote Queue Length",10
PerfCounter = smtp_total_messages_sent_sec,"\SMTP Server(_Total)\Messages Sent/sec",10
PerfCounter = smtp_total_messages_sent_total,"\SMTP Server(_Total)\Messages Sent Total",10
PerfCounter = smtp_total_outbound_connections_current,"\SMTP Server(_Total)\Outbound Connections Current",10
PerfCounter = smtp_total_outbound_connections_refused,"\SMTP Server(_Total)\Outbound Connections Refused",10
PerfCounter = smtp_total_pickup_directory_messages_retrieved_tot al,"\SMTP Server(_Total)\Pickup Directory Messages Retrieved Total",10
PerfCounter = smtp_total_pickup_directory_messages_retrieved_sec ,"\SMTP Server(_Total)\Pickup Directory Messages Retrieved/sec",10
