Managing Message tracking logs
In Exchange Server 2013/2016, message tracking is enabled by default and you can use the Set-TransportService
and Set-MailboxServer
cmdlets to configure various message tracking configuration tasks. The tracking log files exist in the %ExchangeInstallPath%TransportRoles\Logs\MessageTracking
folder.
Here are different log files created in this folder:
MSGTRK |
Transport service logs |
---|---|
MSGTRKMA |
Moderated transport logs for example, approvals and rejections if enabled |
MSGTRKMD |
Logs messages delivered to mailboxes using the Mailbox Transport Delivery Service |
MSGTRKMS |
Logs messages sent from mailboxes using the Mailbox Transport Submission serviceĀ |
These logs are stored in the directory using the following naming convention MSGTRXMDyyyymmdd-nnnn.log
where yyyymmdd
is the coordinated Universal time when the log file is created, and nnnn
is the instance number, which starts at 1 every day for each message-tracking log file named prefix. Exchange uses circular logging...
