Active Directory Monitor PRTG

PRTG:
Active Directory Monitoring Software

A functional Active Directory is one of the core elements in a network’s organization.

Virtually every company with a Windows infrastructure uses Active Directory to manage network resources and regulate access rights within a domain and its domain forest. The Active Directory creates a directory service, which stores information relating to a network's resources and objects.

In addition, domain controllers - usually several within a single domain - are used to store data sets regarding objects.

A replication service ensures that all of a domain's directory information is always and fully available on all of its domain controllers.

Overview: Active Directory Replication Errors Sensor

PRTG uses the Windows credentials of the parent device to check the domain controller for replication errors.

The Active Directory Replication Error sensor displays the following in PRTG:

• Number of consecutive synchronization errors
  
• If the source was deleted
• If the scheduled synchronization was disabled
  
• Time of the last synchronization attempt
• Result of the last synchronization
  
• The last time a synchronization was successful
  
• Number of aligned synchronization sequences
• Number of pending replication operations
