New Exchange 2016 Install Reporting HealthManagerWorkItemQuarantineMonitor Unhealthy

Question

We've just installed a new installation of Exchange 2016 that we will eventually migrate our Exchange 2010 users over to.

Before doing that, I ran the BPA and it reported some warnings about various server health entries. One of these was the Monitoring HealthSet:

[PS] C:\>get-healthreport server01 -healthset monitoring

Server    State          HealthSet   AlertValue  LastTransitionTime   MonitorCount
------    -----          ---------   ----------  ------------------   ------------
server01  NotApplicable  Monitoring  Unhealthy   08/09/2016 2:39:...  29

Checking the entries, I see that HealthManagerWorkItemQuarantineMonitor is marked as Unhealthy:

[PS] C:\>get-serverhealth server01 -healthset monitoring | select name,alertvalue

Name                                                AlertValue

I can't find any information about what HealthManagerWorkItemQuarantineMonitor is or how to troubleshoot it.

If I run invoke-monitoringprobe monitoring\HealthManagerWorkItemQuarantineMonitor -server server01 I get the following:

WARNING: Could not find assembly or object type associated with monitor identity
'monitoring\HealthManagerWorkItemQuarantineMonitor'. Please ensure that the given
monitor identity exists on the server.

What can I check for this?

I'm having the exact same issue.

I ended up searching my logs and found a reference to the HealthManagerWorkItemQuarantineMonitor in Microsoft\Exchange\ManagedAvailability\Monitoring:

Workitem "E4eException.Maintenance.WorkItem" (ID: 37) repeatedly caused
Exchange Health Manager worker process to restart. As a result it has 
been quarantined and will not be scheduled to run for 24 hours.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

States of all monitors within the health set:
Note: Data may be stale. To get current data, run: Get-ServerHealth -Identity '<SERVERNAME>' -HealthSet 'E4E'

I've recently had an issue with the DAG that this server is in and had been working on it. So for me, I'm going to check it again tomorrow and check the health status again.

Hope this is somewhat useful.

Well, mine seems to have resolved itself on its own. While I didn't see the same event message you did, you did point me to where I could at least find these messages, so thanks! — Caynadian, Sep 14 '16 at 14:37

You're trying to invoke a monitor. You need to invoke the probe associated with that monitor. In your case:
Invoke-MonitoringProbe Monitoring\HealthManagerHeartbeatProbe -Server server01

You can find probes by running:
Get-MonitoringItemIdentity <HEALTHSET> -Server server01 | ? {$_.ItemType -eq 'Probe'} | ft name,itemtype -auto
