Replication Performance Health view

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

 
Table 64. Replication Performance Health view
Description

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.

Data displayed

•
Time
•
Partition
•

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.

Table 65. Resource Utilization view
Description

This view displays the resource utilization metrics associated with the selected DC over the specified time interval. The counters and indicators change colors based on overall consumption or deviation from normal levels.

Data displayed

CPU Load. This counter indicates the total CPU load per second for the selected DC.

 

CPU Utilization. This graph charts CPU utilization for the selected DC over the specified time interval. It provides a comparison against the defined warning, critical and fatal alarm levels.

 

Network I/O. This counter displays the rate at which data is coming in and going out over the network interface on the selected DC.

 

Network Utilization. This graph charts the following metrics over the specified time interval:

•
Send Rate. Displays how many bytes of data are being sent to the NIC each second.
•
Receive Rate. Displays how many bytes of data are coming in from the NIC each second.
 

Total Memory. This button displays the maximum capacity of memory on the selected DC.

 

Memory In Use. This button displays the actual amount of physical memory currently being used.

 

Memory Utilization. This graph charts the memory utilization for the selected DC. It provides a comparison between consumed memory and the computed average for the specified time interval.

 

Disk I/O. This counter displays the rate at which the disk I/O system on the selected DC is processing disk reads and writes.

 

Disk Utilization. This graph charts the following metrics over the specified time interval:

•
Read Rate. Displays the rate at which data is being read by the disk.
•
Write Rate. Displays the rate at which data is being written to the disk.

Security Accounts Manager view

To display this view, enable the Security Accounts Manager Group in the Directory Services section of the Metrics Management dashboard. When this collection group is enabled, this view is added to the Directory Services navigation tab in the Active Directory Explorer dashboard.

 
Table 66. Security Accounts Manager view
Description

This view displays additional Security Accounts Manager (SAM) metrics for the selected DC which are gathered when the Security Accounts Manager collection group is enabled.

Data displayed

•
SAM Successful Computer Creations/sec. Shows the number of times a computer account was successfully created per second.
•
SAM Successful User Creations/sec. Shows the number of times a user account was successfully created per second.
•
SAM User Creation Attempts/sec. Shows the number of create user account attempts are being made per second.
 

SAM Changes/sec. This graph charts the following metrics:
