Powershell exchange 2013 submission queue

[jhowland]

I am trying to create a script that hostmon can use to get the amount of email in a submission queue. I just need it to return the results of “get-queue submission | select messagecount�. If the result is over 100 send a alert. Can you assist me, I cannot figure out how to script this in your program.

Requirements
Server parameter
Script

Need to return the numerical value

You need to use Shell Script test method: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... m#chkShell

Script for Shell Script test may look like the following:

Code: Select all

$statusUnknown     = "ScriptRes:Unknown:"
$statusOk          = "ScriptRes:Ok:"
$statusBad         = "ScriptRes:Bad:"


if ($args.Count -ne 1) {
  echo  $statusUnknown"Message count threshold is required"
  exit
}

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.SnapIn

[int]$msgLimit = $args[0]
[int]$msgCnt = $(get-queue submission).MessageCount
  
if ($msgCnt -gt $msgLimit)
{
   echo $statusBad$msgCnt
} 
else 
{
   echo $statusOk$msgCnt
}

Start cmd: C:\Windows\sysnative\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe %script% %params%
Script requires 1 parameter - message count threshold

Improved script (with exception handling):

Code: Select all

$statusUnknown     = "ScriptRes:Unknown:"
$statusOk          = "ScriptRes:Ok:"
$statusBad         = "ScriptRes:Bad:"

if ($args.Count -ne 1) {
  echo  $statusUnknown"Message count threshold is required"
  exit
}

Try
{
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.*

[int]$msgLimit = $args[0]
[int]$msgCnt = $(Get-Queue -Identity submission).MessageCount
} catch {
  echo  $statusUnknown$_.Exception.Message
  Break
}
 
if ($msgCnt -gt $msgLimit)
{
   echo $statusBad$msgCnt
}
else
{
   echo $statusOk$msgCnt
}

Start cmd: C:\Windows\sysnative\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe %script% %params%
Script requires 1 parameter - message count threshold
