7.4.3 Viewing Server Connection Information
From the Agent Information page you can view the connection information for your server.
1 In iMonitor, click Agent Information in the Assistant frame.

Choose from the following options:
Ping Info shows that iMonitor has attempted an IP ping to the set of addresses being advertised
for the server. Success is as indicated.
DNS Name shows that iMonitor has attempted to do an address reversal on IP addresses
supported by the server and is indicating the associated DNS name.
Depending on the transport, configuration, and platform you are running on, you might not see
this information.
Connection Information lets you view connection information for the server, including the
server referral, time delta, Root Most Master, and replica depth.
Depending on the transport, configuration, and platform you are running on, you might not see
this information.
Server Referral lets you view the set of addresses by which your server can be reached.
Time Synchronized indicates that synthetic or future time is not being used unless a replica's
last-issued time stamp is greater than the current time.
eDirectory believes time is synchronized well enough to issue time stamps based on the server's
current time. The time synchronization protocol might or might not currently be in a
synchronized state.
Time Delta lets you view the difference in time between iMonitor and the remote server in
seconds. A negative integer indicates that iMonitor's time is ahead of the server's time; a
positive integer indicates that iMonitor's time is slower than the server.
Root Most Master specifies that the replica that is highest or closest to the root of the naming
tree is a master replica.
Replica Depth lets you view the depth of the rootmost replica (the number of levels between
the rootmost replica and the root of the tree).
7.4.4 Viewing Known Servers
From the Known Servers List, you can view the list of servers known to the database of the source
server. You can filter the list to show all servers known to the database or to show all servers in the
replica ring. If a server has an icon next to it, the server participates in a replica ring.
1 In iMonitor, click Known Servers in the Assistant frame.
2 Choose from the following options:
Entry ID lists the identifier on the local server for an object. Entry IDs cannot be used across
servers.
NDS Revision lists the eDirectory build number or version being cached or stored on the server
that you are communicating with.
Status shows whether the server is up, down, or unknown. If the status shows as unknown, this
means that this server has never needed to communicate with the server being shown as
unknown.
