Status of immediate message queues
The current status of the various message queues. The LED is green in normal use, amber when load reaches 90% of capacity, and red when 100% is reached. The LED will stay at the highest color reached until you click Reset LEDs.
The capacity of your message queues depends on the amount of memory you have. If the LED is often amber or red, you should consider increasing the amount of memory on your system.
Status of other message queues
Some messages to other email systems and the Internet may not be reachable immediately. The message is queued for a later delivery attempt. As well, messages to other sites that depend on a gateway connection will be queued until the gateway connects at its scheduled time.
The LED is green in normal use, amber when load reaches 90% of capacity, and red when 100% is reached. The LED will stay at the highest color reached until you click Reset LEDs.
The capacity of your message queues depends on the amount of memory you have. If the LED is often amber or red, you should consider increasing the amount of memory on your system.
Users tab
Logins since startup
The number of logins on your system since the server was last started.
Session limit (kB) per user
The session memory limit in kilobytes per user.
Session Monitor
Click to see the Session Monitor.
User activity
Information on the most recent user activity.
Session Licenses for Remote Users
The total number of session licenses in use (remote users currently logged in) vs. the total number of session licenses configured. The LED is green in normal use, amber when load reaches 90% of capacity, and red when 100% is reached. The LED will stay at the highest color reached until you click Reset LEDs.
If the LED is often amber or red, you should consider purchasing additional session licenses, or changing the most active Remote users to Regular users.
Activity tab
Trash collection
If trash collection is not currently running, the status will be Idle.
If trash collection is currently running, the details will be displayed. The status bar represents the percentage of completion.

If batch admin is not currently running, the status will be Idle.
If batch admin is currently running, the details will be displayed. The status bar represents the percentage of completion.
Message activity
If a message is in the process of being delivered (sent/unsent) the activity will be displayed here.
If trash collection or batch administration is running, it will be displayed here.
Error summary
Information on the last error reported by the FirstClass server.
Volumes tab
The two subtabs (Primary and Secondary) contain the same fields.
Location
The drive where the volume is located. Used to select between multiple secondary volumes.
Reference ID
The volume's internal reference number (mirror source).
Disk usage
The amount of used disk space on the volume vs. the total available space. The LED is green in normal use, amber when load reaches 90% of capacity, and red when 100% is reached. The LED will stay at the highest color reached until you click Reset LEDs.
If the LED is often amber or red, you should consider increasing the amount of disk space on the volume, using multiple volumes, or decreasing the disk usage limit, or expiry limits of users. If a disk usage increase occurs suddenly, use the Disk Usage Report, located in the Stats.Dir folder within the FCPO folder (Windows) or FirstClass Post Office folder (Mac OS), to isolate the user with the high disk usage.
Usage
The primary is always Full use. A secondary volume can be Full use or Limited use.
Mirroring information
The LED shows the current status of the disk mirror. The LED is green for an active synchronized mirror (the mirror is synchronized with the exception of the files which failed - see Threshold value on the Volume Info form), amber when mirroring is paused, reconnected or continuing, red if it is failed, or inactive due to a mirror failure, and black if there is no mirroring configured.
Faults remaining until resynchronization
This value is the difference between the threshold value set on the Volume Info form and the number of faults you have received. When the threshold is exceeded, the mirror automatically begins resynchronization.
When resynchronizing, or when mirroring is resumed after being paused, the server will attempt to mirror the files that caused these faults and the value in this field will reset to the threshold value.
If the threshold is in close to being reached during a full synchronization, increase the threshold value on the Volume Info form to prevent a resynchronization attempt while synchronization is running. This is especially critical in large systems where full synchronization takes several hours or more. Once synchronization is complete, you may wish to pause and continue the mirror to attempt to resynchronize these files.
Location
The drive the volume is mirroring to (mirror target).
Status
This describes the current status of the mirror.
Synchronization details
This section will only display values during synchronization.
Elapsed time and progress bar
The progress bar indicates the percentage of the synchronization that is complete. The elapsed time indicates how long the synchronization has been running.
Items
The fields below show the number of items being synchronized.
Full queue
This is the total number of files on the volume to be synchronized.
Note
This field pertains to full synchronizations only.
Incremental queue
This is the number of files which have been created or modified since the synchronization began. This value will increase with each new file.
Total
The total number of files from Full queue and Incremental queue.
Processed
The total number of files which have been processed (either successfully mirrored or queued as a fault).
Remaining
The total number of files remaining to be synchronized.
Files tab
