Using the Active Directory Health landing page

Once you have installed at least one Analyzer agent, the Active Directory Health landing page displays summary information for forests, domains, sites, domain controllers, and alerts. Tiles display summary information for each domain that is configured in Active Administrator®.

Open the Summary tab, if necessary.

The Summary area displays a summary of the forests, domains, sites, and domain controllers.

Indicates the status of the object in all forests and domains. If one object has a problem, the status becomes No.

The Alerts Summary area indicates the total number of critical and warning alerts for the forest. The chart shows alert history over the past 12 hours. If you pause the cursor over the graph, you can view the number of critical, and warning alerts that were triggered or created during the hour, and the number of active alerts that occurred during the hour.

The Summary of Domains area displays details for each domain being monitored by Active Administrator. The tile for each domain indicates the total number of critical and warning alerts; the total number of domain controllers, global catalog servers, and read-only domain controllers; and the functional level of the domain.

Analyzing health of a domain controller

You can view information on all monitored domain controllers or a selected monitored domain controller.

2
Select Monitor | Active Directory Health.
3
Open the Analyzer tab.

If there is no data because the domain controller is not being monitored, you need to install the agent. See Installing Active Directory Health Analyzer agents in the Quest® Active Administrator® User Guide.

Data collectors provide the input to the various tabs. Some data collectors can be enabled or disabled. See Managing data collectors in the Quest® Active Administrator® User Guide.

If you do not see the corresponding data, make sure the data collector is enabled and the necessary permissions are set. To check the required minimum permissions, see the Alerts Appendix in the Quest® Active Administrator® User Guide.

The remaining data collectors used to provide information to the tabs are not available for management and are provided to Active Administrator through Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).

The Domain Controller window has a summary area and seven tabs: Performance Overview tab, Services tab, Server tab, Active Directory tab, Domain Controller Alerts tab, Installed Applications tab, and Updates tab. The number on the tab indicates the number of items on each tab.

The Domain Controller summary area displays the name of the domain controller, the number of active alerts for the domain controller, and general information about the domain controller.

Domain

Name of the domain in which the domain controller resides

Site

Name of the site in which the domain controller resides

Forest

Name of the forest in which the domain resides

OS version

Version of the operating system

System up time

Duration of time the domain controller has been running

Read only DC

Indicates if the domain controller is a read-only domain controller (RODC)

Global catalog

Indicates if the domain controller is a global catalog server

Monitored by

Name of the computer on which the agent is installed that is monitoring the selected domain controller.

Last updated

Date and time the domain controller was last updated

The Performance Overview tab displays the data collected in the indicated time frame for the selected monitored domain controller via the enabled Performance Counters data collectors.

The Services tab displays the status of Windows® services via the enabled Windows Services data collectors. If a service is running, but has stopped at a point in time, that stoppage is indicated with red.

Displays information about the logical disks on the domain controller and the network adapter via the following General data collectors:

Displays Active Directory® database and SYSVOL disk usage and LDAP response time via the following data collectors:

The number on the tab indicates the number of current alerts on the domain controller. The Domain Controller Alerts tab displays the current alerts for the domain controller. A count of the current alerts, critical and warnings, displays. For each active alert, the severity, alert name, time the alert triggered, the object name, and the description display.

Alerts are enabled by default and correspond to data controllers. Both alerts and data collectors can be enabled and disabled. See Setting alerts and Setting data collectors in the Quest® Active Administrator® User Guide.

The Installed Applications tab has three tabs with numbers that indicate the number of installed, added, or removed applications on the selected monitored domain controller.

Displays installed updates on the selected monitored domain controller. Updates installed or removed in the last 24 hours are listed in a separate pane.
