Hi, I'm trying to achieve the following: Average Daily E-mail traffic (sent and received), and Average Message size. Current stats aren't going to work so I started logging everything into a CSV file (in yyyymmdd format) so I can grab a daily log and take a look at my stats. I've also set the sample to be taken every 1 second. I guess I'm basically confused on the Instances I'm presented with for each counter. For example: Object: MSExchangeTransport SmtpReceive Counter: Messages Received Total Instances: _total, client SERVERNAME, default SERVERNAME, allowed relayers My guess is I'm supposed to be looking at the "default SERVERNAME" instance, right? But this is only showing me this: Last: 5 Avg: 5 Min: 5 Max: 5 This can't be accurate? Has anyone done this? We're an organization with 400+ E-mail accounts. Should I be taking the sample at greater intervals vs. 1 second? Any input welcome!
Why don't you use the message tracking logfiles?

Thanks for the Reply. I haven't really used that. How would I obtain this info? By using the Troubleshooting assistant? If so, how exactly? I'm not seeing where I can do this.
