Monitoring MS Exchange - missing data for plugin winperf_msq_queues"

CMK version: 2.1

Error message: Missing monitoring data for plugins: winperf_msx_queues

Hi,

I want to monitor a MS Exchange server and configured and activated the rules “MS Exchange Database/RPC …/Message Queues/DAG …/Information Store”.

The Service “Queue” shows no content and the Check_MK service says missing monitoring data for plugin winperf_msq_queues".

How do I get these monitoring data?

I found via Setup the “Queue names” service discover rules and configured it with activating “MS Exchange message queues discovery”, but without any specified counters.

Additionaly I configured a rule “Windows Performance-Counter objects”, with a Section name msx_queues and a counter-object number (which I found on the MS Exchange server using this hint: Exchange Mailqueue überwachen – YOGITRON Netzwerktechnik GmbH)

This information is baked into the installed agent.

What do I make wrong?

Thanks!

The agent configuration shows the defined counter for msx_queues, but the check_mk.yml file has no entry:

If I add another counter “- 86898: msx_queues”, the other counter were not longer found too:

In which config-file should the configuration of the winperf_msx_queues pop up / or be added?

Thanks!

[tsi]

Edit: the error was a result of a “Tab” in the check_mk.yml …

Status now:

… but only with the handwritten line in check_mk.yml

… now we have agent-output:

@tsi

This is the real problem. Please don’t use the counter number for the Exchange Queues.
These number will change on every update of the Exchange software.

It is better to use the counter name here. → “MSExchange Transport Queues”

Hallo Andreas,

thanks - that helped!

For the record:

I defined now further Queues like this.

And the result is:

Thanks - solved

Are you using the Agent Bakery? And if yes, can you tell me what exactly you did?

I had this already configured but since some months it’s not working anymore.
