ix) Exchange Roles and Performance Monitoring
Exchange Server Roles are used to group the performance monitoring parameters used by
WhatsUp Gold to indicate the state of the Exchange server. A server role is a unit that logically
groups the required features and components needed to perform a specific function in the
messaging environment. By mirroring these roles in the Exchange Server monitor, the
configuration of the monitor becomes a simple exercise of setting the threshold values
associated with each Exchange Server Role you want to monitor.
Hub Transport Server Role thresholds
Mailbox Server Role thresholds
Outlook Web Access Server Role thresholds
