Appendix A: Exchange health sets

Applies to: Exchange Server 2013

The Exchange Server 2013 Management Pack relies on the Managed Availability feature in Exchange 2013. In Managed Availability, each component in Exchange 2013 monitors itself using probes, monitors and responders. Each Exchange 2013 component that implements Managed Availability is referred to as a health set. The following tables list all the health sets available in Exchange 2013.

Note

Only the health sets that apply to your Exchange deployment are seen in the SCOM console. Therefore, depending on your configuration, some of these health sets may not be present in your deployment.
