File Replication Monitoring

The File Replication page enables you to monitor the file replication activities.

To display the File Replication page, choose Monitor > Protection Status > File Replication. The names of the primary server and secondary server of existing volume replication pairs are listed under the Source Host and Target Host menus respectively.

The File Protection Status table lists all of the file replication pair. Click the plus sign (+) located next to the name of a protection plan to expand the plan details.

File Replication Search Criteria
The file replication details allow you to select filters to narrow your search results. Valid search filters:
  • Job Description

  • Application Agent

  • Status

  • Group ID

  • Job ID

  • Exit Code

Note: Explanations for each search filter are provided below.

File Protection Status

Indicates the details about the selected file replication pair.
View Details
Displays log and trending information, and other related information when the plus symbol (+) is clicked.
Job Description
Displays the name of the job description given while configuring the file replication job.
Application Agent
Displays the name of the application agent while configuring the file replication job.
Status
Indicates the status of file replication job. Valid states:
  • Starting

  • Secondary server target starting

  • Running

  • Completed

  • Failed

Source Host
Indicates the primary server name. The primary server is the server that is hosting the source data to be replicated in the protection plan.
Source Directory
Indicates the primary server directory, which contains the source data that is replicated from the Source Host.
Target Host
Indicates the secondary server name. This secondary server is the server that hosts the replicated data from the source host in the protection plan.
Target Directory
Indicates the secondary server directory where the replicated data is stored.
Scheduled Type
Displays the file replication job scheduled information.
GID
Displays the numeric identifier of the group to which the file replication pair belongs.
JID
Identifies the numeric identifier of the job.
Job Instance
Indicates the number of times the file replication pair job has run.
Exit Code
Identifies the file replication job failure code.
Note: A value of 0 indicates a successful completion.
The View Details navigation tree provides the following information:
More Details
Contains links to log and trending information.
Start Time
Indicates the time when the file replication starts.
End Time
Indicates the time when the file replication ends.
Last Updated Time
Indicates the time of the last activity.
Data Compression
Displays the amount of data compressed for transmission from the primary server to the secondary server.
Sync Compression
Displays the reduction in the amount of data transferred, expressed as a percentage, that is achieved by transferring differentials (transferring only the changed bytes). The formula is as follows:

1 - (Transfered / Total) x 100

Where:
  • Transfered = The number of bytes transferred

  • Total = Total replication size

The closer the percentage is to 100 the better the efficiency of the data transfer.

Bytes Changed
Total number of bytes transferred from the primary server to the secondary server during that particular schedule.

To delete a job history, select the particular job by selecting the check box at the end of each job column and then click Delete Job History.

To clear logs for a file replication job, select the particular job by checking the check box at the end of each job column and then click Clear Logs for Selected Job.

Tip: If the FX log option in the protection status contains a value that is greater than 1 GB, Internet Explorer will not be able to process the file. However, Firefox supports a file size up to 2 GB. To work around this limitation, use low verbosity in the job options.
Note: The Data Compression, Sync Compression, and Trending fields become active when the status of the job is Completed.
