Measures reported by ReplicationTest

The ReplicationTest tracks the performance of the Active Directory replication process in the target environment. The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
In_obj_appld_rate This measure shows the number of replication updates per second that are occurring on this domain controller as a result of changes generated on other domain controllers. Appld/Sec A low value may indicate one of the following

1.      less changes to the objects in the other domains

2.      this domain controller is not applying the changes to the objects at the desired rate.

If the object changes are not applied at the desired rate, it may result in a loss of data integrity in the Active Directory.  Forcing the replication activity may solve this problem.

In_prop_appld_rate This measure indicates the number of changes applied to object properties per second through inbound replication as a result of reconciliation logic. This logic is used to determine the final value to be replicated to the property. Appld/Sec

A low value may indicate one of the following

1.      less changes to the object properties in the other domains

2.      this domain controller is not applying the change to the object properties at the desired rate.

If the object properties are not applied at the desired rate, it may result in a loss of data integrity in the Active Directory. Forcing the replication activity may solve this problem.

In_obj_filtrd_rate This measure indicates the number of inbound replication objects received per second from the replication partners that contained no updates that needed to be applied. Filtrd/Sec

A high value for this measure indicates that the objects are all static.

This problem can be solved by increasing the replication frequency.

In_prop_filtrd_rate This measure indicates the number of inbound replication properties received per second from the replication partners that did not contain any updates to be applied. Filtrd/Sec

A high value for this measure indicates that the properties are all static.

This problem can be solved by increasing the replication frequency in the replicated domain.

Out_obj_filtrd_rate This measure indicates the number of outbound replication objects that have not yet been received by the outbound replication partner per second. Filtrd/Sec

A high value for this measure indicates that the objects are all static.

This problem can be solved by increasing the replication frequency in the target domain.

 

Pending_repl_sync This measure indicates the number of directory synchronizations that are queued per second for this domain controller but not yet processed. Number

An unusually high value for a long duration may signify that the replication process is not being carried out at the desired rate.

Forcing the replication activity may solve this problem.
