4 Troubleshooting
4.1 ME4 Series performance monitoring
The ME4 Series arrays have an interactive performance monitor built-in. It can display data throughput at any
level, from a single disk to a controller. Disk groups and pools can be monitored as well. This tool can be used
to show volume performance and throughput for troubleshooting or monitoring purposes. Capturing a
baseline can help determine changes in disk usage over time.

4.2 Exchange Server 2013/2016 Diagnostic Service logs
Since the release of Exchange Server 2013 version CU6, the Exchange Diagnostic Service constantly
records Exchange performance counter information and stores them in local log files. These log files are part
of the Exchange Managed Availability services. By default, seven days of these logs are stored, taking up 5
GB (5,120 MB) of disk space per day on the location where Exchange binaries are installed.
To store these log files, either ensure that there is enough capacity, or edit the
Microsoft.Exchange.Diagnostics.Service.exe.config file as follows to conform to the capacity available:
<add Name="DailyPerformanceLogs" LogDataLoss="True"
MaxSize="5120" MaxSizeDatacenter="2048" MaxAge="7.00:00:00"
CheckInterval="08:00:00" />
