This view displays the Distributed File System Replication (DFSR) service performance metrics for the selected DC. These counters and indicators change colors based on overall consumption or deviation from normal levels.

DFSR Percent Memory. This graph charts the percent of memory being consumed by the DFSRS process on the selected DC over the specified time interval.

DFSR Percent CPU. This graph charts the percent of CPU being consumed by the DFSRS process on the selected DC.

DFSR Working Set. This graph charts the number of memory pages recently used by the threads in the DFSRS process on the selected DC.

Bytes Received/sec. This graph charts the estimated average number of bytes that were received by this replicated folder each second over the past 30 seconds. It provides a comparison against the computer average for the specified time interval.

Staging Space in Use. This graph charts the amount of space (in bytes) being used for files and folders currently in the staging folder. It provides a comparison against the computed average for the specified time interval.

USN Journal Records Accepted. This graph charts the number of Update Sequence Number (USN) records that were processed by the DRS replication service. It provides a comparison against the computed average for the specified time interval.

File Installs Retried. This graph charts the number of bytes that were received in replicating files using remote differential compression (RDC) for the selected replicated folder. It provides a comparison against the computed average for the specified time interval.

Staging Bytes Cleaned Up. This graph charts the amount of space (in bytes) being used for files and folders that were cleaned up from the staging folder. It provides a comparison against the computed average for the specified time interval.

Clicking a graph in this view displays a metrics popup that describes the counters, provides more detailed data points, and lists current alarms for the selected metric.

This view displays additional inbound replication metrics for the selected DC which are gathered when the Directory Replication Inbound collection group is enabled.

DRA Inbound Bytes Compressed. This graph charts the following metrics:

•

DRA Inbound Bytes Not Compressed (Within Site)/sec. This graph charts the number of bytes replicated in that were not compressed at the source (from DSAs in the same site) per second. It provides a comparison against the computed average for the specified time interval.

DRA Inbound Bytes Not Compressed (Within Site). This graph charts the number of bytes replicated in that were not compressed at the source (from DSAs in the same site). It provides a comparison against the computed average for the specified time interval.

DRA Inbound Full Sync Objects Remaining. This graph charts the number of objects remaining until the full sync completes. It provides a comparison against the computed average for the specified time interval.

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

DRA Inbound Properties Applied/sec. This counter shows the number of properties that are updated due to the incoming property winning the reconciliation logic that determines the final value to be replicated.

DRA Inbound Properties Filtered/sec. This counter shows the number of property changes that are received during the replication that have not yet been seen.

DRA Inbound Properties Total/sec. This counter shows the total number of object properties received from inbound replication partners.

DRA Inbound Values (DNs only)/sec. This counter shows the number of object property values received from inbound replication partners that are Distinguished Names (DNs) that reference other objects.

Clicking a graph in this view displays a metrics popup that describes the counters, provides more detailed data points, and lists current alarms for the selected metric.

•

Directory Replication Outbound view

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

Table 30. Directory Replication Inbound view

This view displays additional outbound replication metrics for the selected DC which are gathered when the Directory Replication Outbound collection group is enabled.

DRA Outbound Bytes Compressed. This graph charts the following metrics:

•

DRA Outbound Bytes Compressed (Between Sites, After Compression). Shows the compressed size (in bytes) of outbound compressed replication data (size after compression from DSAs in other sites).

•

DRA Outbound Bytes Compressed (Between Sites, Before Compression). Shows the original size (in bytes) of outbound compressed replication data (size before compression from DSAs in others sites).

DRA Outbound Bytes Compressed/sec. This graph charts the following metrics:

•

DRA Outbound Bytes Compressed (Between Sites, After Compression)/sec. Shows the compressed size (in bytes) of outbound compressed replication data per second.

•

DRA Outbound Bytes Compressed (Between Sites, Before Compression)/sec. Shows the original size (in bytes) of outbound compressed replication data per second.

DRA Outbound Bytes Not Compressed (Within Site)/sec. This graph charts the number of bytes replicated out that were not compressed (that is, from DSAs in the same site) per second. It provides a comparison against the computed average for the specified time interval.

DRA Outbound Bytes Not Compressed (Within Site). This graph charts the number of bytes replicated out that were not compressed (that is, from DSAs in the same site). It provides a comparison against the computed average for the specified time interval.

DRA Outbound Bytes Total Since Boot. This graph charts the total number of bytes replicated out. It includes the number of uncompressed bytes (never compressed) and compressed bytes (after compression). It provides a comparison against the computed average for the specified time interval.

DRA Outbound Properties and Values. This graph charts the following metrics:

•

DRA Outbound Properties/sec. Shows the number of properties replicated out per second.
