You can hide (or filter out) the connection status if you do not want to see the it either on the individual connection icon or as part of the rollup status for Replication Server.
The options for hiding connection status are as follows:
Hide the State of the Replication Agent –– hides the state of the Replication Agent thread in the Details list, on the Connection Properties dialog box, and in the rollup status for the Replication Server to which that Replication Agent thread is connected.
Hide the State of the DSI Thread –– hides the state of the DSI thread in the Details list, on the Connection Properties dialog box, and in the rollup status for the Replication Server to which the DSI thread is associated.
Hiding connection status
Right-click the connection for which to hide the status.
Select Hide Connection Status from the drop-down menu.
A dialog box displays which shows options for hiding the connection status.
Select an option.
The state for the connection now reads “Hidden.” The state on the Connection Properties dialog box and in the rollup status for the Replication Server is also hidden. The Event Log records this change.
