Steve Jones shows off some functionality:
The monitoring capabilities in Redgate Monitor were originally fairly limited to a few counters from PerfMon. A few people had written custom metrics on sqlmonitormetrics.com that clients could use, but we’ve had customers asking for more native integrations.
We’ve done it. With version 14.2, we have added an estate view of your replication environment. In the Estate menu, there is a new entry for Replication Monitoring.
I had to check the documentation to see if merge replication was included, and it was. That’s usually the form that people avoid because it’s too hard to implement.
In practice, this doesn’t replace ReplMon or more detailed mechanisms for detailing system behavior, but it does at least provide the ability to alert if things are going wrong with the SQL Agent jobs. That probably catches about 60-70% of issues with replication, with the remaining 30-40% requiring some sort of time of flight indicator to see if data on the subscribers are keeping up to date with data on the publisher.
