Monitoring Replication Status From Administration Express - Netscape DIRECTORY SERVER 6.2 - ADMINISTRATOR Administrator's Manual

Monitoring Replication Status
Monitoring Replication Status From
Administration Express
Although the replication status report that you view via the Directory Server
Console shows many details, it does not show the progress of the replication.
Additionally, because one report is generated per agreement, you need to navigate
among the status reports for different agreements.
The
template-repl-monitor.pl
Netscape Directory Server Configuration, Command, and File Reference, enables you to
monitor replication status to a greater extent by providing these functionalities:
• Lists, for each master replica on each Directory Server discovered, server URL
or alias, replica ID, replica root, and maximum change sequence number
(
• Lists, corresponding to each master replica listed above and for each direct or
indirect consumer replicas discovered, server URL or alias, replica root, replica
type, connection type of the replication sessions, replication schedule,
replication status, supplier
and the master
The time lag field uses different colors to indicate the degree of time lag. The
thresholds for each color is configurable.
• Displays the change sequence number (CSN) in human-readable format
(instead of hex strings) in the
where
• Shows the output/result in the HTML format. The script writes the output to
an HTML file, which can be configured to refresh itself automatically; the
refresh interval is also configurable.
The script is integrated into the Netscape Administration Express, enabling you to
view the replication status via an HTTP interface. (The Administration Express is
an HTML-based version of Netscape Console that provides quick access to servers
running Administration Server.)
To view in-progress status of replication via the Administration Express interface:
Prepare a configuration file following the guidelines provided in the

"template-repl-monitor.pl (Monitor replication status)" section of the Netscape
Directory Server Configuration, Command, and File Reference.
