By monitoring the replication data flowing into each site, this test helps determine the nature of the inbound traffic handled by every site - whether inter-site or intrasite, and reveals what type of inbound traffic is high on a site. Using this information, administrators can determine whether or not the replication data has been compressed enough to optimize bandwidth usage, and accordingly decide if more data compression is required at the source.

This test applies only to Active Directory Servers installed on Windows 2008.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the ADRepTraFrmTest.

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
