Active Directory replication visualisation
|
||||
------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
To work out what is happening in a replication graph, it is sometimes
|
||||
helpful to use visualisations. We introduce a samba-tool subcommand to
|
||||
write Graphviz dot output and generate text-based heatmaps of the
|
||||
distance in hops between DCs.
|
||||
|
||||
There are two subcommands, two graphical modes, and (roughly) two modes of
|
||||
operation with respect to the location of authority.
|
||||
|
||||
`samba-tool visualize ntdsconn` looks at NTDS Connections.
|
||||
`samba-tool visualize reps` looks at repsTo and repsFrom objects.
|
||||
|
||||
In '--distance' mode (default), the distances between DCs are shown in
|
||||
a matrix in the terminal. With '--color=yes', this is depicted as a
|
||||
heatmap. With '--utf8' it is a lttle prettier.
|
||||
|
||||
In '--dot' mode, Graphviz dot output is generated. When viewed using
|
||||
dot or xdot, this shows the network as a graph with DCs as vertices
|
||||
and connections edges. Certain types of degenerate edges are shown in
|
||||
different colours or line-styles.
|
||||
|
||||
NT4-style replication based net commands removed
