Monitor Failed to Store Items?

[Scott__Hastings]

Is there an event log entry or something that I can monitor items in the Failed to Store Folder in a Journal Mailbox?

any help appreciated!

Hi Scott,

Last I heard there isn't an event logged for items moved to the Failed to Store.

I know there are 4 different events that may be logged if items are Failed to archive.

3070 for Failed to copy

3259 Failed Codepage

3261 Failed DL Expansion

and 3264 Failed External Filter

You could set up a PowerShell script to monitor that folder.

also in http://yourEVServer/MonitoringWebApp/ it will show you how many items are failed there as well

I have set the JournalWarningMsgCount registry dword and I monitor for Event ID 3229.

This only monitors the Journal Inbox. The other day my Failed to Store (I think) was at ~ 50K items. I am looking for a way to get a notitfication when that happens.

Any Ideas? May monitor w Exchange?

Thanks!!

You can probably use this script that another user has posted - just modify it to check for the Failed to Store folder.

AKL created this, just change -FolderScope "Inbox" to -FolderScope "Failed to Store" and it should work for you,

edit--I see John posted has posted another example.  I think either will do what you need, just change the parameters to monitor the Failed to Store folder.
