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.
