Message rate meter Exchange 2010

Is there any way to change the scale on the message meter in the Exchange app? We normally generate about 10k emails an hour, so the meter always stays pegged.

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Matt,

Yes - and it's simple. Create a local macros.conf with the following in it:

[msgs-per-hr-gauge]
definition = gauge count 0 10000 20000 30000

The first number is the low point of the gauge; the second number is the transition between green and yellow; the third number is the transition between yellow and red, and the fourth number is the top of the gauge. You can set these numbers to whatever you want.

While we are at it, take a look at the default/macros.conf file - there are other macros that are commonly replaced (such as the definition of what is an internal IP) that you probably want to look at.
