Administration Express - Replication Monitor

To Monitor Replication Status from Administration Express

  1. Create a configuration file.

    The configuration file contains a mandatory section for ldap connection parameters, and two optional sections for ldap server aliases and time lag colors. Connection parameters for all the servers in a replication topology should be specified within a configuration file. A configuration file, however, may contain information for multiple replication topology.

    SYNOPSIS
    
      [connection]
      host:port:binddn:bindpwd:bindcert
      host:port:binddn:bindpwd:bindcert
      ...
    
      [alias]
      alias = host:port
      alias = host:port
      ...
    
      [color]
      lowmark = color
      lowmark = color
      ...
    
    DESCRIPTION
    
      The connection section specifies how the tool may
      connect to each ldap server in the replication
      topology to get the replication agreement. This
      section is mandatory. The default binddn is
      'cn=Directory Manager'. Simple bind will be used
      unless bindcert is specified as the pathname of
      a cert db.
    
      A server may have a dedicated or a share entry
      in the connection section. The script will find
      out the most matched entry for a given server.
      For example, if all the ldap servers except host1
      share the same binddn and password, the connection
      section then needs just two entries:
    
        [connection]
         *:*:binddn:password:
         host1:*:binddn1:password1:
    
      The optional alias section gives nicknames to ldap
      servers' url. Thus instead of displaying url
      "http(s)://hostname-domainname:port", the status
      report may display "Master 1", "Hub" and alike.
    
      CSN time lags between masters and consumers might
      be displayed in different colors based on their ranges.
      The default color set is green for [0-5) minutes lag,
      yellow [5-60), and pink 60 and more.
    
    EXAMPLE
    
      [connection]
      *:*:*:mypassword
    
      [alias]
      M1 = host1.example.com:10011
      C1 = host4.example.com:10021
      C2 = host2.example.com:10022
    
      [color]
      0 = #ccffcc
      5 = #FFFFCC
      60 = #FFCCCC
    
  2. In the row containing a master instance, click Replication Status.
