Monitoring Tools
In addition to the monitoring capabilities within the Storage
Mirroring clients, you can monitor Storage Mirroring processing
using other tools.

Log files are generated for various Storage Mirroring components recording alerts (notifications,
warnings, and errors). These log files can be viewed using a standard text viewer, and their output
can be filtered using the Storage Mirroring LogViewer utility. See Log files on page 19-2.

The Windows Event Viewer also receives alerts (notifications, warnings, and errors), but only from
the Storage Mirroring service. These alerts are logged to the Event Viewer Application log. See
Windows Event Viewer on page 19-10.

DTStat is a utility that reports statistical information. See DTStat on page 19-29.

The Windows Performance Monitor also reports statistical information. See Windows
Performance Monitor on page 19-36.

SNMP reports alerts and statistics. See SNMP on page 19-39.
NOTE: Regardless of the monitoring tool you are using, you may see replication operations
during a mirror, even if you are not currently replicating any data. These operations are
pre-allocating space in order to avoid fragmentation on the target. These operations are
normal.
