Assured Replication Monitoring

The assured replication mechanism includes several attributes defined to monitor how well the mechanism is working. The following tables list the monitoring attributes defined on the directory servers and on the replication servers in a topology.

On a directory server, the attributes are located under the monitor entry for that replicated DN. For example, monitoring information related to the replicated domain dc=example,dc=com is located under the monitoring entry cn=Replication Domain,dc=example,dc=com,server-id,cn=monitor.

On a replication server, the monitoring information related to assured replication is on a per connection basis. Monitoring attributes are found in the monitoring entry of a directory server or replication server that is connected to the current replication server. For example, on a particular replication server, the monitoring information related to a connected directory server would be under the monitoring entry cn=Directory Server dc=example,dc=com ds-host,server-id,cn=monitor. The monitoring information related to a connected replication server would be under the monitoring entry cn=Remote Replication Server dc=example,dc=com repl-server-host:repl-port,server-id,cn=monitor.

Table 6-2
Monitoring Attributes on the Replication Server
Attribute Name
Attribute Type
Purpose
assured-sr-received-updates
Integer (0..N)
Number of updates received from the remote server in assured replication, safe read mode
assured-sr-received-updates-timeout
Integer (0..N)
Number of updates received from the remote server in assure replication, safe read mode, that timed out when forwarding them
assured-sr-sent-updates
Integer (0..N)
Number of updates sent to the remote server in assured replication, safe read mode
assured-sr-sent-updates-timeout
Integer (0..N)
Number of updates sent to the remote server in assured replication, safe read mode, that timed out
assured-sd-received-updates
Integer (0..N)
Number of updates received from the remote server in Assured Replication, Safe Data
assured-sd-received-updates-timeout
Integer (0..N)
Number of updates received from the remote server in assured replication, safe date mode, that timed out when forwarding them. This attribute is meaningless if the remote server is a replication server.
assured-sd-sent-updates
Integer (0..N)
Number of updates sent to the remote server in assured replication, safe data mode. This attribute is meaningless if the remote server is a directory server.
assured-sd-sent-updates-timeout
Integer (0..N)
Number of updates sent to the remote server in assured replication, safe data mode, that timed out. This attribute is meaningless if the remote server is a directory server.
