Check Managed Availability Probe Results in application log when your Exchange 2013 server has sustained high CPU

  • 项目

I stumbled upon this neat feature in Exchange 2013. When your Exchange 2013 (and probably later) server is experiencing sustained high CPU, an event 2 error occurs inside your Microsoft-Exchange-ActiveMonitoring\ProbeResult channel.

Look for an event with ResultName of EDS/ExchangeProcessorTimeTrigger_Warning/_total. Inside the details view, there are a bunch of top N lists that will give you quick insights into what is happening:
