Monitor the Replication
Once Dbvisit Replicate is configured and starts replicating data the replication should be monitor regularly. Major aspects of replication to be monitored are:
- Status of MINE and APPLY
- Check for conflicts
- Lag between source and target
Dbvisit Replicate provides notification and remote management feature which can be tuned to send email alerts about replication status and issues. Most of the information required for monitoring is not stored in the database, but available using the dbvrep console. Following are some generally used basic monitoring commands. Click here for complete command line reference.
- LIST STATUS
- HEALTHCHECK
- LIST CONFLICT
- LIST STATS
The commands can be specified directly on the command line and you can even use --silent to suppress the usual header.
Example:
$bash start-console.sh --silent LIST STATUS
