Measures reported by DFSEvtLogTest
If you are suspecting that the DFS replication between members is failing, then use the DFS Replication log to confirm your suspicions or to negate them. This event log records events for the Distributed File System Replication services, such as when the the DFS replication service started, and also captures service failures (if any). This way, the DFS Replication log serves as a rich source of information that is most useful when troubleshooting issues related to replication. By monitoring this event log, the DFSEvtLogTest test promptly alerts administrators to current replication problems and even warns them of probable replication failures.
The measures made by this test are as follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
| Information_count |
This refers to the number of information events that were captured by the DFS Replication log during the test's last execution. |
Number |
A change in value of this measure may indicate infrequent but successful replications.
Please check the DFS Replication log in the Event Log Viewer for more details. |
| Warning_count |
This refers to the number of warning events captured by the DFS Replication log during the test's last execution. |
Number |
A high value of this measure indicates problems that may not have an immediate impact, but may cause future problems.
Please check the DFS Replication log in the Event Log Viewer for more details. |
| Error_count |
This refers to the number of error events captured by the DFS Replication log during the test's last execution. |
Number |
A very low value (zero) is desired for this measure, as it indicates good health.
An increasing trend or a high value indicates the existence of problems.
Please check the DFS Replication log in the Event Log Viewer for more details. |
| Critical_count |
Indicates the number of critical events that were generated when the test was last executed. |
Number |
A critical event is one that the replication service cannot automatically recover from.
This measure is applicable only for Windows 2008/Windows Vista/Windows 7 systems.
A very low value (zero) indicates that the service is in a healthy state and is running smoothly without any potential problems.
An increasing trend or high value indicates the existence of fatal/irrepairable problems.
The detailed diagnosis of this measure describes all the critical events captured by the DFS Replication log during the last measurement period.
Please check the DFS Replication log in the Event Log Viewer for more details. |
| Verbose_count |
Indicates the number of verbose events that were generated when the test was last executed. |
Number |
Verbose logging provides more details in the log entry, which will enable you to troubleshoot issues better.
This measure is applicable only for Windows 2008/Windows Vista/Windows 7 systems.
The detailed diagnosis of this measure describes all the verbose events that were captured by the DFS Replication log during the last measurement period.
