Monitoring Replication Status
362
Red Hat Directory Server Administrator’s Guide • May 2005
The
template-repl-monitor.pl
script, which is explained in detail in the
Red
Hat Directory Server Configuration, Command, and File Reference
, enables you to
monitor 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 Red Hat Administration Express, enabling you to
view the replication status via an HTTP interface. (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 via the Administration Express interface:
1.
Prepare a configuration file following the guidelines provided in the
“template-repl-monitor.pl (Monitor replication status)” section of the
Red Hat
Directory Server Configuration, Command, and File Reference
.
2.
Open a web browser window.
3.
In the URL field, enter the Administration Server URL in this format:
http://
hostname
:
admin_port
4.
Click Red Hat Administration Express, and, when prompted, log in.
5.
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.
