Monitoring replication assets
You can monitor your Data Replication assets and your Data Replication service instance.
Monitoring your Data Replication service instance
You can monitor a Data Replication instance and view all the replications associated with that instance. To open the Data Replication details page, select Services > Instances from the Cloud Pak for Data navigation menu, then select the instance that you want to monitor.
The instance details page will show a graphical view of all the replications associated with the selected instance. You can switch to an alternate list view of the replications by clicking the List icon 
.
Instance details are shown in the side panel, where you can also view the status of the replication service instance.
Details of your replications can be seen using a quick view. Select a node (or row in the list), right-click, then select Quick view. If you select another node in the graph, the panel will update with that nodes details. See Monitoring your Data Replication assets for more details.
If you want to monitor a single replication, you can either select the replication node, right-click and select Replication details, or double-click the node.
As replications are created, started, or, stopped, they will dynamically update in the Data Replication instance view.
Monitoring your Data Replication assets
You can view a summary of the source and target connections, schema mappings, job details, event logs, and metrics on the Details page of your replication asset. Go to the Assets page, click the overflow menu next to the asset name, and select Details.
Alternatively, you can open the Data Replication Details page from the instance details page. Either double-click on the replication node in the graph or right-click and select Replication details.
The Metrics panel on the replication Details page provides the current metrics for a running replication. Two views of the metrics are provided: Table and Graph. The metrics are retrieved every 60 seconds, and the date and timestamp on the panel indicates what time the metric values were retrieved. The Table view shows the most recent metrics values. The Graph view shows two line graphs tracking the last 30 minutes of metrics. You can hover on the graph points to see the actual values for that point.
The metrics available are:
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Source bytesRead | The number of bytes processed on the source side in the last interval (60 seconds). |
| Source bytesRead total | The total number of source bytes processed. |
| Source last transaction | The timestamp of the last source transaction processed. |
| Target bytesApplied | The number of bytes applied to the target side in the last interval (60 seconds). |
| Target bytesApplied total | The total number of bytes applied to the target. |
| Target last transaction | The timestamp of the last target transaction processed. |
The event log section shows the replication events that are produced. This view shows the most current 500 events by default. If there are more than 500 events, you can get all the events by clicking the Show all events.
Use Find control to filter events. This view will automatically update every 60 seconds with the latest events.
If your replication metrics are stuck in the Loading… state or the bytesRead value is 0 for extended periods of time, there might be a problem with the replication. Try refreshing the details page first and if the values are still not updating, check the event log for any error messages.
