Configuring the Log Shipping Replay Queue Length Monitor for SCR and CCR Scenarios

  • Article

Applies To: Exchange Server, Operations Manager 2007 R2

The management pack checks the Log Shipping Replay Queue Lengths for both cluster continuous replication (CCR) and standby continuous replication (SCR) scenarios using the Log Shipping ReplayQueueLength Monitor (targeted at the Log Shipping component). This monitor is optimized for the CCR scenario and raises an alert if the number of transaction logs waiting to be committed is greater than 15 logs and has been waiting for more than 5 minutes.

Overriding the Log Shipping ReplayQueueLength Monitor

You may need to override this monitor if you are using SCR. To do this, override the threshold value of the monitor for the Log Shipping instances discovered on the servers participating in SCR.

To override the Log Shipping ReplayQueueLength Monitor

  1. Click the Authoring button in the Operations console, and then click Monitors.

  2. Set the scope to Exchange 2007 Log Shipping.

  3. Expand Entity Health, and then expand Performance for Exchange 2007 Log Shipping.

  4. Override the Threshold value for the instance or instances of Exchange 2007 Log Shipping that are involved in SCR. Select a value that is appropriate for your environment. You can use the performance data collected by the Exchange 2007 Reply Queue Length Collection rule to help determine the appropriate value.
