This monitor checks the state of the Replication Log Reader for all Publications serviced by the Distributor.
The Replication Log Reader Agent is an executable that monitors the transaction log of each database configured for transactional replication and copies the transactions marked for replication from the transaction log into the distribution database.
To resolve intermittent problems, restart the Log Reader agent.
Rerun the Log Reader agent and set the -OutputVerboseLevel parameter to 3 or 4. This will give more details about what statement is failing.
Examine the Log Reader Agent’s last synchronization to determine the cause of the agent failure. To review the job history, use this KB
