   Figure 11.10: Server and connection status window

The status of each server and connection is shown in the ESM details pane. If you have used the Exchange server's Monitoring tab to establish warning or critical state thresholds to monitor, the server status will contain a warning or critical state message if the thresholds have been exceeded (see Section 11.3). You can view the server monitor thresholds by double-clicking on the server item in the details pane.
