Microsoft SQL Server Replication Monitor provides a systemic view of replication activity, but also makes it straightforward to find information on a specific agent. The following list includes each agent, the tabs in the Replication Monitor on which it can be found, and a link to a topic that explains how to access these tabs:
- The following agents are associated with publications in Replication Monitor:
- Snapshot Agent
- Log Reader Agent
- Queue Reader Agent
Access information and tasks associated with these agents through the following publication tabs: Warnings and Agents (for Distributors running Microsoft SQL Server 2005) or the Agents tab (for Distributors running previous versions of Microsoft SQL Server). For more information, see How to: View Information and Perform Tasks for the Agents Associated With a Publication (Replication Monitor).
- The following agents are associated with subscriptions in Replication Monitor:
- Distribution Agent
- Merge Agent
Access information and tasks associated with these agents through the following tabs: Subscription Watch List (available for each Publisher) or the All Subscriptions tab (available for each publication). For more information, see How to: View Information and Perform Tasks for the Agents Associated With a Subscription (Replication Monitor).
