Which Exchange Logs should be collected for central logging solution?
Hi,
I am implementing a central logging solution using Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana (ELK Stack). Now, which Exchange 2010 logs should be collected, message tracking, IIS, any other recommendations?

Thanks for the replies. Currently, I am collecting message tracking which is highly recommended. What about IIS logs for OWA. I know Exchange can produce various logs that's why I asked a question in first place for recommendation.

Well, it's not for monitoring health performance but for forensic investigation in case of any event.

if you want to monitor for general issues, the event log is the best place as Exchange puts most issues in there by default.
if you want to monitor specific things consider the individual logging element from each part of Exchange as noted above.
