ExchangeMetrics: Message Sizes

The Message Sizes page is used to configure message size frames for which to return summary metrics by server. It is a wizard page for the category of:

  • Message Size Statistics Custom.

Exchange Metrics Data Collector Wizard Message Sizes page

Configure the desired message size frames using the following options:

  • Frame name – Name the configured message size parameters. Can either be entered manually or a default will populate when query limits are set.
  • Start – Specify the lower limit of the message sizes (in MB)
  • End – Specify the upper limit of the message sizes (in MB)

For example, a Start value of 1 and an End value of 2 returns messages between 1 and 2 megabytes.

  • Infinite – Select the checkbox to remove the End value from the scan. For example, a Start value of 5 with the Infinite checkbox selected retrieves all messages which are 5 megabytes or larger.

Once the frame is configured, click Add. The configured message size frame will appear in the list. Multiple frames can be configured. Select a frame and click Replace to modify an existing frame. Use Remove to delete an existing frame.
