Subscriptions view (Monitoring perspective)

The Subscription view of the Monitoring perspective allows you to monitor and analyze replication activities for each subscription so that you can understand your normal replication activity, observe trends and diagnose potential problems.

In addition, the Subscription view contains operational features for subscriptions that allow you to connect to datastores, and to start replication and end replication.

In this view, you can perform the following actions:
  • Connect to a datastore
  • View the subscription summary
  • View the replication diagram
  • Monitor the state of your subscription
  • Start or end replication on a subscription
  • Refresh a subscription and view the refresh history
  • View a summary of latency, replication activity and events

The area at the top left of the view contains buttons that link to two summary modes: subscription summary and replication diagram.

The subscription summary Subscription Summary button mode displays a summary of replication states and latency on the left, and a list of subscriptions on the right.

The Replication section of the subscription summary breaks down replication into five states and shows a count of how many subscriptions fall within each state:
Mirroring
Includes subscriptions in the Mirroring Continuous and the Mirroring Scheduled End state.
Refresh
Includes subscriptions in the Refreshing state.
Failed
Includes subscriptions in the Failed state.
Inactive
Includes subscriptions in the Inactive state.
Other
Includes subscriptions in the Starting, Ending, Locked or Unknown state.

The links in the Replication section of the subscription summary can also be used as filters. Click a state to filter the list of subscriptions to display only subscriptions in that state. The Clear Filter link returns the list to its default display.

The Latency area of the summary breaks down latency levels into three states: Problem, Warning, and Normal. A count is shown indicating how many subscriptions fall within each state. You must set latency threshold values for your subscriptions in order for values to be displayed in this area.

The replication diagram Replication Diagram button mode displays a schematic to visually represent the datastores and the mapping relationships between them in your replication configuration.

The bottom section of the window displays a summary of latency, replication activity and events.
