Exchange 2007 Performance Counters and Thresholds

Performance analysis and troubleshooting can be a very complex and daunting area with Exchange Server. Being able to quickly and accurately identify and resolve issues requires a thorough understanding of the most interesting and important performance counters. With the July content refresh we've just released new content detailing these counters and many of the important thresholds to be aware of. The content is broken out by counters that are common across Exchange roles and counters that are specific to each role. A big thanks goes to Mike Lagase, John Rodriguez, and Scot Landry for their help in pulling all of this information together. Check it out here in the Monitoring Without System Center Operations Manager: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=122254

One more comment: maybe the ExTRA Team should update their rulesets. Performance Troubleshooter still finds a "bottleneck" if "LogicalDisk(*)\Avg. Disk sec/Read" on the Log drive is below 5ms. Whereas you and MOM expect a value less than 20ms.

The same goes for "MSExchangeIS\RPC Operations/sec/user": ExTRA finds a "High user RPC activity" if this value is higher that 0.25 whereas you are talking about 0.75, 1.0 or higher. It might be also helpful to clarify by which "user count value" you divide "RPC Operations/sec". You don't mention it and "http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa995886(EXCHG.80).aspx" gives us 3 possibilities. ExTRA takes "Active User Count" here - and I think its the best one.

Cheers,
