1.6 Global Network Monitoring
eDirectory Event does not provide a global solution to monitoring
eDirectory events. Instead, it provides information that is local
to each server. If your application is to provide a global solution
it must do the following.
- Provide an eDirectory event handler
on each server being monitored.
- Provide a method of sorting out duplicate events.
For example, if there are three replicas on three servers, each
having an eDirectory event handler registered, then deleting an
object will show up as a separate event on each server. In this
case the global monitor must either reject all events from two of
the servers or deal with receiving multiple copies of the same event.
In some implementations, it might be advantageous to obtain
events from all servers that hold an instance of a partition. Such
an application might be one that measures replication time in a
network.
