Analyzing Active Directory health
•
• The Active Directory Health Analyzer agent sends data every five minutes to the Active Administrator® database. When a data collector falls out of range, data is sent every 30 seconds to the database. You can adjust the automatic refresh rate from 30 to 3600 seconds or turn off the automatic refresh. If you turn off the automatic refresh, you can refresh the screens manually. See Setting Active Directory Health Analyzer options.
Managing the Active Directory Health Analyzer tree
The Active Directory Health Analyzer tree displays forests, domains, sites, and domain controllers. By default, unmonitored domain controllers display beneath a selected domain. If you want to see only monitored domain controllers beneath a selected domain, clear the Display unmonitored domain controllers in the tree view check box in Settings | User Options. See Setting Active Directory Health Analyzer options.
• To quickly add a selected unmonitored domain controller to the list of monitored domain controllers, click Add Domain Controller, and click Refresh. See Adding monitored domain controllers.
• To filter the tree, type in the Filter objects box. The list filters as you type.
• To refresh the tree, click Refresh.
