    Hi,

     

    CDM probe does not support DFS (Distributed file System) replication which is confirmed by the user.
    How about ADEVL probe? I have been informed this probe supports to monitor DFS Replication.

    Could you confirm this and elaborate how to monitor the DFS Replication environment by ADEVL or documentation available in the terms of DFS?

     

    Thanks and Regards

    You can try using "ntevel" probe to monitor the event logs on the server and pick the errors related to DFS Replication by creating filters 

     

    Some of the error codes are listed below for reference 

     

    [MS-DFSRH]: Types of DFS Replication Errors 

     

    I believe even "adevl" does pretty much the same by monitoring the NT event logs associated with Active Directory. It monitors the event logs of Directory Service, Application, DNS Server, and File Replication Service for new messages and generates alarm messages accordingly .

    Not sure there is any specific probe for monitoring only DFSR

    Hi Phani,

     

    Thanks for your valuable input on this subject.

    That means UIM can only monitor the DFS log only rather than monitor such
    as file size on both nodes?

     

    Thanks and Regards

    Hi Francis,

     

    Monitoring the event logs for the failures is the option I am aware of , not sure if there is any other ways of monitoring DFS

     

    Thanks,
