Issue the command when the processes/threads are still live. We have a script run nightly to compile our messaging stats for the day, then reset all threads back to zero.
The one thing to watch for then zeroing stats is if you should have any alerts set up for Last Receive (and perhaps Last Send)… when zeroing the threads, the monitor can lose track of when the last message was and trigger falsly. We have our alerting for these threads set around the time when the threads are zero’d out.
