Round-Trip Monitoring for Exchange
The simple, reliable solution to monitoring Exchange mail flow.
How do you know when Exchange isn't sending and receiving Internet e-mails? How do you test Exchange mail flow?
The simple answer is: external round-trip monitoring.
Office productivity grinds to a halt when Exchange is down. Be proactive and set up round-trip monitoring of Exchange Internet mail flow.
How does round-trip monitoring work?
Round-trip monitoring is end-to-end monitoring from a trusted, external source. An e-mail is sent to a mailbox in your domain. Your Exchange server receives that message and responds.
Responses received back are logged and recorded for performance tracking.
Responses that are not received back trigger alerts and notifications to your IT team.
These round-trip tests happen every 10 minutes, 24/7.
Critical Insights
Round-trip monitoring tests many critical underlying services:
- Your domain’s DNS MX records
- Your Exchange servers
- Your SMTP gateways or e-mail filtering services (for example: Proofpoint or Mimecast)
Bottom-line: round-trip monitoring is an early warning system for larger issues.
