Overall, there are two components involved in Monitoring deployment; Monitoring Agent and Monitoring
Database.
By default, Monitoring Agent is installed and activated on all front end servers. But it won’t work until you
enable monitoring and configure it properly.
Monitoring Database could be installed on either SQL Server or in integration with the Exchange Server.
In this article, we explain how to configure and enable monitoring for your enterprise.
Hardware Requirement Monitoring service runs on the front end server. It doesn’t need an additional server. Backend database
can be collocated on existing SQL server. But, you need to factor in the database sizing to take colocation
call.
Define & Publish Topology
Launch Topology Builder (run as admin mode). Navigate to the Front End pool. Notice the Monitoring SQL Server store association under Associations section.
In the Action menu, click Edit Properties.
Skype for Business Server has 2 new reports: Conference Join Time & Media Quality Comparison.

If you have set up a mirror database for your monitoring database then you must also

SQL Server Reporting Services
Check if reporting service is installed.
If monitoring backend is Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2, Click Start => All Programs => Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 => Configuration Tools => Reporting Services Configuration Manager.
If monitoring backend is Microsoft SQL Server 2012, Click Start => All Programs => Microsoft SQL Server 2012 => Configuration Tools => Reporting Services Configuration Manager.
In the Reporting Services Configuration Connection, check Server Name and Report Server Instance box. Click Connect.
In the Reporting Service Configuration Manager, the Report Server Status pane should show that SQL Server Reporting Services has been installed and that the Reporting Services are currently running.
Ensure that the database is listed next to the Report Server Database Name label.
