    Getting a decent overview of you Operations Manager Agents sometimes is a bit hard. There’s a nice graph to display the “Send Queue % Usage” but you have to click through every agent status to find the interesting ones. Most likely the ones with a high percentage status.

    Another way, although with less current data would be to query your Data Warehouse with the following statement

    SELECT     TOP (100) vManagedEntity.Path,
                         vPerformanceRule.CounterName,
                         Perf.vPerfHourly.DateTime,
                         Perf.vPerfHourly.AverageValue AS Avg,
                         Perf.vPerfHourly.MinValue AS Min,
                         Perf.vPerfHourly.MaxValue AS Max
    FROM       Perf.vPerfHourly
    INNER JOIN vManagedEntity ON Perf.vPerfHourly.ManagedEntityRowId = vManagedEntity.ManagedEntityRowId
    INNER JOIN vPerformanceRuleInstance ON Perf.vPerfHourly.PerformanceRuleInstanceRowId = vPerformanceRuleInstance.PerformanceRuleInstanceRowId
    INNER JOIN vPerformanceRule ON vPerformanceRuleInstance.RuleRowId = vPerformanceRule.RuleRowId
    WHERE      (vPerformanceRule.CounterName LIKE N'%send queue % used')
    ORDER BY   Perf.vPerfHourly.DateTime DESC,
               Avg DESC

    This query returns the 100 Queue with the highest fill rate. Note, that data in the Data Warehouse DB can be several hours behind the Operations Database.
