Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 Administrator's Guide

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 Red Hat Administration Express, so the replication status can be
viewed in a web browser. The Administration Express is an HTML-based version of Red Hat
Console that provides quick access to servers running Administration Server.
To view in-progress status of replication in Administration Express, do the following:
1. Prepare a configuration file following the guidelines provided in the "repl-monitor.pl (Monitor
replication status)" section of the Directory Server Configuration, Command, and File
Reference.
2. Open the Administration Server URL in a web browser.
http://hostname:admin_port
3. Click Red Hat Administration Express, and, when prompted, log in.
4. Select a supplier Directory Server instance, and click Replication Status.
This brings up a page for specifying the runtime parameters of the replication-monitoring tool.
5. In the Configuration file field, type the path to the configuration file created in step 1, and
click OK.
The replication-status page appears; by default, the page gets refreshed every 300 seconds.
Each table shows the status of the changes originated from a supplier replica.
