Creating an Event Trigger for a Replication Server

Create event triggers to monitor server and component status changes.

Replication Monitoring Services (RMS) monitors the replication environment. When something happens in your environment, server and component status changes. These changes appear in the event log and you are notified by the event triggers that you may have created. RMS executes a script when the specified event occurs. For example, a user can set up a script to be notified with an e-mail message when a connection suspends. You can create an event trigger for any server or component that the RMS monitors.

In the object tree, select the Replication Server.
On the right side of the desktop, select the event log pane.
Double-click the Add Server Event Trigger icon.
Select the status change that will trigger the event.
As an option, enter a Wait before executing value.
This notifies RMS to wait for the event to change before executing the trigger.
To execute a trigger at each monitoring interval, rather than only once, select Execute at Each Interval.
Enter the name of the script for RMS to execute when the event occurs.
Click OK.
The new event appears in the Event Log pane.
