Monitoring replication of a database
If there are replicas of a database, use any of these methods to monitor replication daily.
MethodDescription
Replication history Records each successful replication session for a database. Useful for determining at a glance if a replication is occurring.
Replication Events view of the log file (LOG.NSF)Shows details about replication events between servers. Useful for determining the cause of replication failure and for verifying that the expected number of replication updates occurred.
Replication monitorNotifies you when replication of a database hasn't occurred within a specified time period. A server administrator creates replication monitors as a part of configuring the Event Monitor task.
Database analysis toolLets you collect replication history and replication events from the log file, and other database-specific information into a results database that you can analyze.
In addition to ensuring that a database is replicating, you should routinely check for and consolidate replication and save conflicts.

For information on replication monitors and the Event Monitor task, as well as the Database Analysis tool, see Administering the Domino System.
