Agent Summary

Use this page to view the health of your eDirectory servers, including synchronization information, agent process status, and the total number of servers known to your database.

All of the information in iMonitor is based on your identity. The information you view in iMonitor immediately shows what's happening on your server.

Agent Synchronization Summary
Lists the number and types of replicas you have and gives the the length of time since they have been successfully synchronized. This list also displays the number of errors for each replica type.

If the Agent Synchronization Summary doesn't appear, there are no replicas you can view based on your identity.

Oldest Successful Sync
Lists the amount of time since all replicas of an individual partition were successfully able to synchronize from this server.

Maximum Ring Delta
Lists the amount of data that might not be successfully synchronized to all the replicas in the ring. For example, if a user has changed his or her login script within the past 30 minutes, and the maximum ring delta has a 45-minute allocation, the user's login might not be successfully synchronized, and he or she might get the previous login script when he or she attempts to log in. However, if the user changed his or her login script more than 45 minutes ago, he or she should get the new login script consistently from all replicas.

If Unknown is listed under the Maximum Ring Delta, then the transitive synchronized vector is inconsistent and the maximum ring delta cannot be calculated because of a problem, such as replica/partition operations in progress.

Servers Known to Database Totals
Lists the type and count of servers known to the database. You can view all the servers or just the servers in the partition's replica ring.

Up
Lists the number of servers that were up the last time communication with them was attempted.

Down
Lists the number of servers that were down the last time communication with them was attempted. eDirectory will not attempt to communicate with a server for another 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, eDirectory will attempt to communicate with a server if necessary.

Unknown
Lists the number of servers that have not been communicated with since this database was created. eDirectory does not currently know the communication state of the servers.

Agent Process Status Totals
Summarizes the number of errors that occurred during background processing such as Limber, Synchronization, or Obituary. If any errors are encountered a status record is entered in the database. Each process will record a maximum of 100 entries per run. Each time a process is run, the previous entries are cleared and new ones can be recorded.
