Add Distributor to Monitor

Replication Monitor is a component of SQL Server Enterprise Manager designed for viewing the status of replication agents and troubleshooting potential problems at the Distributor. Replication Monitor shows up as a node in SQL Server Enterprise Manager when the server is enabled as a Distributor and the user is a member of the sysadmin fixed server role.

You can use Replication Monitor to:

• View a list of Publishers, publications, and subscriptions to the publications that are supported by the Distributor.
  
  
• View scheduled replication agents, and to monitor real-time status and history for each agent.
  
  
• Set up and monitor alerts related to replication events.
  
  
• Administering agents and subscriptions including starting and stopping agents and reinitializing subscriptions.
