Azure AD Connect Health
In the previous chapter, we learned what Azure AD Connect is and how it works in a hybrid Azure AD environment. Azure AD Connect is responsible for synchronization between Azure AD and on-prem AD. Therefore, it is important to monitor the health of the Azure AD Connect service to make sure it is running as expected. In a given computer infrastructure, only one Azure AD Connect instance can be active at a given time, so this puts more pressure on the health of the service. The Azure AD Connect service is a Windows service, so there are many tools on the market that can monitor the status of the service. But even if the service is up and running, it doesn't mean synchronization is healthy.
Azure AD Connect Health is a service that comes with Azure AD Premium to monitor the health of Azure AD Connect. Azure AD Connect Health can monitor the following types of sync errors:
- Duplicate attributes
- Data mismatches
- Data validation failures...
