8.17.2 Monitoring replication status from administration express
Although the replication status report in the Directory Server Console shows many details, it
does not show the progress of the replication. Additionally, because one report is generated per
agreement, this lists all status reports for all different agreements.
The repl-monitor.pl script, which is explained in detail in the HP-UX Directory Server
configuration, command, and file reference, monitors replication status to a greater extent by providing
these functionalities:
• Lists for each supplier replica on each Directory Server discovered, server URL or alias,
replica ID, replica root, and maximum change sequence number (maxcsn).
• Lists corresponding to each supplier 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 maxcsn,
and time lag between the consumer maxcsn and the supplier maxcsn.
The time lag field uses different colors to indicate the degree of time lag. The threshold for
each color is configurable.
• Displays the change sequence number (CSN) in human-readable format (instead of hex
strings) in the MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI Seq# SubSeq# format, where Seq# and SubSeq#
are omitted if they are zero.
• 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 Administration Express, so the replication status can be viewed
in a web browser. The Administration Express is an HTML-based version of Directory Console
that provides quick access to servers running Administration Server.
