Summary

This rule queries the performance counter "DFS Replicated Folders\Staging Bytes Cleaned up" on monitored computers every 15 minutes. This performance counter keeps track of the amount of data that was cleaned up from each replicated folder’s staging area by the DFS Replication service. Monitoring this performance counter enables administrators to understand the usage of each replicated folder’s staging area and figure out if the staging quotas need to be increased.

If this performance counter changes frequently, increase the staging folder quota to increase replication performance.
