Planning How to Monitor Baselines and Trend Analysis
To use the collected performance data:
Create a baseline:• Monitor performance for a full business cycle• Note any peaks or troughs in the data
Set warning-level and error-level thresholds
Review growth trends regularly to:• Adjust threshold• Adjust server configuration

Lab: Planning Exchange Server 2010 Monitoring and Troubleshooting
• Exercise 1: Establishing a Baseline for Performance
• Exercise 2: Measuring the Production System Performance under Additional Load
Logon information
Estimated time: 45 minutes

Lab Scenario
You are a messaging engineer for A. Datum Corporation, an enterprise-level organization with multiple locations. You have been tasked with creating a performance baseline for the new Exchange Server 2010 messaging system that your colleagues are about to deploy.
![Page 18: Module 10 Planning Microsoft® Exchange Server 2010 Monitoring and Troubleshooting](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56649cf05503460f949bef83/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Lab Review
• During the lab, you established a performance baseline. What is the purpose of a performance baseline?
• In exercise 2, you determined that processor resources were affected by the increased load during your test. What would you suggest to mitigate this?
