Monitoring the Message Store

Using the Management Console, you can obtain a high-level overview of activity in the Scalix server message store.

Note	The Management Console does not permit direct management of the message store. That is done in the CLI. For more on the CLI, see the Scalix Administration Guide.

To monitor the message store:

1. In the toolbar, click the Server Info button.
2. In the contents pane, select the sever for which you want to monitor the message store.
3. When the server's options appear in the display pane, click the Storage tab.
4. The Storage tab summarizes these capacity statistics:
   • Total mailbox size: The cumulative total of all current mailboxes, including folder items, inbox items and calendar items.
   • Total wastebasket size: The cumulative total of items in the trash that have not been expressly deleted.
   • Total Message Store size: The actual capacity of this server’s message store.
5. A broad colored bar displays at-a-glance capacity levels in one solid color, and the used portion in a contrasting color.
6. You can also review the ten highest-capacity mailboxes, and see (in kilobytes) how much space each mailbox takes, including any undeleted trash. The number of mailboxes can be increased according to your preference.
