Replication Monitor Information using T-SQL

After doing some online search,I found what you needed,hope my answer helps you.

Answer 1

Note:

It Only works with transactional and transactional peer to peer replication

T-SQL script which you can use to monitor the status of transactional replication and performance of publications and subscriptions.

Things to be considered before executing the below script

Requires permission on the following tables inside distribution and master databases

MSdistribution_status
MSdistribution_agents
MSArticles
MSreplication_monitordata
MSdistribution_history
servers

    USE [distribution]

Answer 3

Script featured on SimpleTalk TSQL as an agent job.

Step 1

Create in a DBA database installed on the subscriber server. The code to create the table is:

CREATE TABLE dbo.Replication_Qu_History(
            Subscriber_db varchar(50) NOT NULL,
            Records_In_Que numeric(18, 0) NULL,
            CatchUpTime numeric(18, 0) NULL,
            LogDate datetime NOT NULL,
        CONSTRAINT PK_EPR_Replication_Que_History PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
    (
            Subscriber_db ASC, LogDate DESC
    ) ON PRIMARY
    GO

Script 1

The data in this table is populated by the monitoring procedures and provides an historical context for examining issues. But to monitor what is happening right now more is required.

There are three things that help to determine the health of replication.

The status of the replication related jobs
The latency (especially the distribution latency) as measured by the counter Dist:Delivery Latency

The number of outstanding commands that are pending for the subscription

DECLARE @cmd NVARCHAR(max)
DECLARE @publisher SYSNAME, @publisher_db SYSNAME, @publication SYSNAME, @pubtype INT
DECLARE @subscriber SYSNAME, @subscriber_db SYSNAME, @subtype INT
DECLARE @cmdcount INT, @processtime INT
DECLARE @ParmDefinition NVARCHAR(500)
DECLARE @JobName SYSNAME
DECLARE @minutes INT, @threshold INT, @maxCommands INT, @mail CHAR(1) = 'N'
SET @minutes = 60 --> Define how many minutes latency before you would like to be notified
SET @maxCommands = 80000  --->  change this to represent the max number of outstanding commands to be proceduresed before notification
SET @threshold = @minutes * 60

SELECT * INTO #PublisherInfo
FROM OPENROWSET('SQLOLEDB', 'SERVER=(LOCAL);TRUSTED_CONNECTION=YES;'
, 'SET FMTONLY OFF EXEC distribution.dbo.sp_replmonitorhelppublisher')

SELECT @publisher = publisher FROM #PublisherInfo     

SET @cmd = 'SELECT * INTO ##PublicationInfo FROM OPENROWSET(''SQLOLEDB'',''SERVER=(LOCAL);TRUSTED_CONNECTION=YES''
,''SET FMTONLY OFF EXEC distribution.dbo.sp_replmonitorhelppublication @publisher='
+ @publisher + ''')'
--select @cmd
EXEC sp_executesql @cmd

SELECT @publisher_db=publisher_db, @publication=publication, @pubtype=publication_type  FROM ##PublicationInfo

SET @cmd = 'SELECT * INTO ##SubscriptionInfo FROM OPENROWSET(''SQLOLEDB'',''SERVER=(LOCAL);TRUSTED_CONNECTION=YES''
,''SET FMTONLY OFF EXEC distribution.dbo.sp_replmonitorhelpsubscription @publisher='
+ @publisher + ',@publication_type=' + CONVERT(CHAR(1),@pubtype) + ''')'
--select @cmd
EXEC sp_executesql @cmd


ALTER TABLE ##SubscriptionInfo
ADD  PendingCmdCount INT NULL,
EstimatedProcessTime INT NULL

To check the status of the distribution jobs

DECLARE cur_sub CURSOR READ_ONLY FOR
SELECT @publisher, s.publisher_db, s.publication, s.subscriber, s.subscriber_db, s.subtype, s.distribution_agentname
FROM ##SubscriptionInfo s

OPEN cur_sub  
FETCH NEXT FROM cur_sub INTO @publisher, @publisher_db, @publication, @subscriber, @subscriber_db, @subtype, @JobName

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0  
BEGIN  
SET @cmd = 'SELECT @cmdcount=pendingcmdcount, @processtime=estimatedprocesstime FROM OPENROWSET(''SQLOLEDB'',''SERVER=(LOCAL);TRUSTED_CONNECTION=YES''
,''SET FMTONLY OFF EXEC distribution.dbo.sp_replmonitorsubscriptionpendingcmds @publisher=' + @publisher

SET @ParmDefinition = N'@cmdcount INT OUTPUT,
@processtime INT OUTPUT'
--select @cmd
EXEC sp_executesql @cmd,@ParmDefinition,@cmdcount OUTPUT, @processtime OUTPUT

UPDATE ##SubscriptionInfo
SET PendingCmdCount = @cmdcount
, EstimatedProcessTime = @processtime
WHERE subscriber_db = @subscriber_db

INSERT INTO DBA.dbo.Replication_Que_History
VALUES(@subscriber_db, @cmdcount, @processtime, GETDATE())
--  find out if the distribution job with the high number of outstanding commands running or not
--  if it is running then sometimes stopping and starting the agent fixes the issue
IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM tempdb.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME LIKE '##JobInfo%')
DROP TABLE ##JobInfo

SET @cmd = 'SELECT * INTO ##JobInfo FROM OPENROWSET(''SQLOLEDB'',''SERVER=(LOCAL);TRUSTED_CONNECTION=YES''
,''SET FMTONLY OFF EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_help_job @job_name='''''

EXEC sp_executesql @cmd

IF @cmdcount > @maxCommands OR (@processtime > @threshold AND @cmdcount > 0)
BEGIN
IF (SELECT current_execution_status FROM ##JobInfo) = 1 --  This means job is currently executing so stop/start it
BEGIN
EXEC distribution.dbo.sp_MSstopdistribution_agent
@publisher = @publisher
, @publisher_db = @publisher_db

SET @mail = 'Y' 
END
END   
--SELECT name, current_execution_status FROM ##JobInfo

BEGIN

SET @mail = 'Y'      -- Send email if job has stopped and needed to be restarted
END   
DROP TABLE ##JobInfo
FETCH NEXT FROM cur_sub INTO @publisher, @publisher_db, @publication, @subscriber, @subscriber_db, @subtype, @JobName
END  

CLOSE cur_sub  
DEALLOCATE cur_sub

Run the Microsoft-supplied procedure sp_replmonitorsubscriptionpendingcmds

--system stored procedure to run in distribution database
execute sp_replmonitorsubscriptionpendingcmds

The code below requires the Ad Hoc Distributed Queries server configuration option be enabled. Here I create the email to be sent assuming the previous Script 3 found an issue sp_replmonitorsubscriptionpendingcmds .

        IF @mail = 'Y'
        BEGIN
        DECLARE @msg VARCHAR(MAX) = 'Replication on ' + @@SERVERNAME
        + ' may be experiencing some problems.  Attempts to restart the distribution agent have been made. '

        SET @xml1 = CAST(( SELECT subscriber AS 'td','',subscriber_db AS 'td','',

        FROM  ##SubscriptionInfo s
        FOR XML PATH('tr'), ELEMENTS ) AS NVARCHAR(MAX))

        SET @tab1 ='<html><body><H4>Subscription Information </H4>
        <table border = 1> <tr>
        <th> Subscriber </th> <th> Subscriber Database </th> <th> Latency(seconds)</th>

        subscriber_db

        @subject = 'Possible Replication Problem' ;
        END
        DROP TABLE #PublisherInfo
        DROP TABLE ##PublicationInfo
        DROP TABLE ##SubscriptionInfo

Last process is to periodically delete rows from the replication status table so the data does not get stale

DECLARE @delDate datetime = getdate()-10
  DELETE FROM DBA.dbo.Replication_Que_History
  WHERE LogDate < @deldate

Pls also consider I also noted that There is an issue with sp_replmonitorsubscriptionpendingcmds if you are still with SQL Server 2005 and 2008 Microsoft Connect

If any of the above answer are unclear you can follow the source I have provided

Thanks!

You can get information you need by querying the dbo.MSReplication_monitordata table from a distribution database with this script, for all publications:

USE distribution
SELECT status AS ReplicationAgentsStatus 
FROM dbo.MSReplication_monitordata
WHERE publication = 'ALL'

For particular publication, modify 'ALL' in WHERE statement

Also, you can use this powershell script to filter the status column from system stored procedure sp_replmonitorhelppublication:

Invoke-Sqlcmd -Query "USE distribution
EXEC sp_replmonitorhelppublication" -ServerInstance "TIKVICKI" | Out-File d:\temp1.txt


Get-Content d:\temp1.txt | where { $_.Contains("status : ") } | 
out-file d:\temp2.txt


(Get-Content d:\temp2.txt).replace('status ', 'Replication agents 
status') | 
Set-Content d:\Replication_Agents_Status_$(get-date -f yyyy-MM-dd-hh-mm-ss).txt

Remove-Item d:\temp1.txt -Force
Remove-Item d:\temp2.txt -Force

I found this scripts in this article, which also describes how to do this through UI with either third party tool or SSMS.
