Memory view

This embedded view is part of the Resource Utilization Details view. To display this view, select the Resource Utilization title or Details link (upper right corner) at the top of the Resource Utilization view for an individual DC in the Active Directory Explorer dashboard.

Table 61. Memory view

This view displays memory utilization metrics for the selected DC. The counters and indicators change colors based on overall consumption or deviation from normal levels.

Available Bytes. Displays the amount of memory (in MB) available.

Committed Bytes. Displays the percent of total bytes committed.

Memory Available and Consumed. This graph charts the following metrics over the specified time interval:

Memory Capacity. Shows the maximum or minimum amount of memory a computer or hardware device is capable of having.
Memory Consumed. Shows the amount of memory being used.

Page Rate/sec. The counter displays the rate at which pages are currently being read from or written to memory in order to resolve hard page faults.

Memory Pages/sec. This graph charts the rate at which pages are read from or written to memory in order to resolve hard page faults for the specified time interval.

Memory Cache Bytes. This graph charts the size of the file system cache. It provides a comparison against the computed average for the specified time interval.

Memory Pool Paged and Non Paged Bytes. This graph charts the following metrics over the specified time interval:

Memory\Pool Paged Bytes. Shows the portion of shared system memory that can be paged to the disk paging file.
Memory\Pool Non Paged Bytes. Shows the portion of physical memory that can be accessed from any address space without incurring paging I/O.

.NET® CLR Exceptions Thrown/sec. This graph charts the number of exceptions thrown per second during the specified time interval. It provides a comparison against the defined warning, critical and fatal levels.

.NET CLR Percent Time in Garbage Collection. This graph charts the percentage of time being spent performing garbage collections during the specified time interval. It provides a comparison against the defined warning, critical and fatal levels.

.NET CLR Memory Bytes in All Heaps. This graph charts the memory usage by all managed resources during the specified time interval. It provides a comparison against the computed average for the specified time interval.

Network view

This embedded view is part of the Resource Utilization Details view. To display this view, select the Resource Utilization title or Details link (upper right corner) at the top of the Resource Utilization view for an individual DC in the Active Directory Explorer dashboard.

Table 62. Network view

This view displays network utilization metrics for the selected DC. The counters and indicators change colors based on overall consumption or deviation from normal levels.

Network Interface. Displays a list of network interfaces available on the selected DC. Selecting a network interface in this view displays the following metrics for the selected interface.

Available Bandwidth. This counter displays the current percentage of bandwidth that is available.
Bandwidth. This graph charts the network bandwidth (MB/sec) for the selected network interface. It provides a comparison against the computed average for the specified time interval.
Output Queue Length. This graph charts the length of the output queue over. It provides a comparison against the computed average for the specified time interval.
Send & Receive Rates. These pulse gauges display the rate at which data is sent and received over the selected network interface.
Packet Outbound Errors. This graph charts the number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted due to errors. It provides a comparison against the defined fatal, critical and warning levels.

Processor view

This embedded view is part of the Resource Utilization Details view. To display this view, select the Resource Utilization title or Details link (upper right corner) at the top of the Resource Utilization view for an individual DC in the Active Directory Explorer dashboard.

Table 63. Processor view

This view displays processor utilization metrics for the selected DC. The counters and indicators in this view change color based on overall consumption or deviation from normal levels.

System\Processor Queue Length. This button indicates the number of threads each processor is currently servicing. This number should not be greater than five per processor.

Processor Queue Length can be used to identify when processor contention or high CPU utilization is caused by the processor capacity being insufficient to handle the assigned workload.

Percent Processor Time. This graph charts the following metrics over the specified time interval:

% User Time. Shows the percentage of time that is spent in user mode. User mode is a restricted processing mode designed for applications, environment subsystems, and integral subsystems.
% Privileged Time. Shows the percentage of time that is spent in privileged mode. Privilege mode is a processing mode designed for operating system components and hardware-manipulating drivers. It allows direct access to hardware and memory.
% Processor Time. Shows the percentage of time that the processor is executing application or operation system processes.

Replication Performance Health view

To display this embedded view, select the Replication navigation tab for an individual DC in the Active Directory Explorer dashboard.

This view displays replication performance metrics for the selected DC. The counters and indicators change colors based on overall consumption or deviation from normal levels.

Replication Failures. This table displays the following information about replication failures that have occurred during the specified time interval:

Replication Queue Length. The button displays the current length of the replication queue. The graph charts the length of the replication queue over the specified time interval. It provides a comparison against the computed average.

Replication Requests. This counter displays the rate at which replication requests are being made.

Replication Requests/sec. This graph charts the number of replication requests made per second. It provides a comparison against the computed average for the specified time interval.

DRA Pending Replication Synchronizations. This graph charts the number of directory synchronizations that are queued for this server awaiting to be processed. It provides a comparison against the computed average for the specified time interval.

DRA Inbound and Outbound Values Total/sec. This graph charts the following metrics over the specified time interval:

DRA Inbound Values Total/sec. Shows the total number of object property values received from inbound replication partners. Each inbound object has one or more properties, and each property has zero or more values. Zero values indicate property removal.
DRA Outbound Values Total/sec. Shows the number of object property values sent to outbound replication partners.

DRA Objects Filtered and Applied/sec. This graph charts the following metrics over the specified time interval:

DRA Inbound Objects Applied/sec. Shows the rate at which replication updates that are received from replication partners are applied by the local directory service. This count excludes changes that are received but not applied (for example, when a change is already present).
DRA Inbound Objects Filtered/sec. Shows the number of objects received from inbound replication partners that contained no updates that needed to be applied.
DRA Outbound Objects Filtered/sec. Shows the number of objects looked at by outbound replication partners that were determined to contain no updates that the needed to be applied by the outbound partner.

DRA Inbound Object Updates Remaining in Packet. This graph charts the number of object updates received in the current directory replication update packet that have not been applied to the local server. It provides a comparison against the computed average for the specified time interval.

DRA Objects In/Out. These pulse gauges indicate the rate at which objects are being replicated.

DRA Bytes In/Out. These pulse gauges indicate the rate at which bytes of data are being replicated.
