DFS-N Monitoring

[ubern00b]

Hi all

Does anyone know if you can monitor DFS-N failovers at all? Does it write to event log?

For instance, I have a namespace with 2 targets in it. Target 1 is set referral ordering to "First among all targets". Target 2 is set to "Last among all targets". In the event the first target is not available and DFS-N points my clients to Target 2 I would like to know about it, monitoring alert via event logs or something.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Let's separate DFS-R from DFS-N as I am only specifically interested in namespaces and not replication (I already have replication monitoring setup and working).

DFSRMon which I have used for a while now is indeed very good but only DFS-R centric, as far as I know?

Really, I am just looking for some event ID that says "namespace x failed over to secondary target". If it exists of course.
