I have downloaded, licensed and installed on my replica server. The service in running and polling data (i can view the log).
a test email message arrives successfully.
Not sure if it sends an email every 15 minutes or just when a condition changes.
I paused replication for an hour and did not receive an email – I have never received an email beyond the test.
Am I misunderstanding the purpose of this utility?
Hi Robert, If you installed this on a single server hosting the Virtual Machines, ensure your “Replication Monitor Mode” is set to “Primary” or “All”. By default, the service monitors only incoming replication data when the mode is set to “Replica”. Apply the settings and restart the service. If you installed the monitor on the server ‘receiving’ the replica information, it should be set to “Replica” or “All”. You will get an email, only when conditions change. When the service detects the replication health in a degraded state, you get more status updates – however they will only come at… Read more »
Issue above was resolved. The problem appears to have been the use of an internet open mail relay coupled with blank credentials. Since the mail relay works with or without credentials, placing dummy credentials in the application resolved the issue.
thanks again!

Do you have a trial version of your software?
Hi Andrew, Sorry there is no trial version, however the website is designed to fully illustrate the user experience of Installation, Licensing Experience, and User Interface options. Each section should give you a very good idea of usage; see Installation Guide, Licensing Guide, and User Guide. Particularly the User Guide, as the graphical elements of the website convey your options. If your goal is to see whether it works or not, the final output of the product is simply an email. That much is self-explanatory. One other consideration is that the latest version (not represented on the website’s screenshots) includes… Read more »
Does this software work as explained with Extended Replication as well? I have a Host server which replicates to a Secondary on-site server. The secondary server which receives the primary host’s replications has extended replication enabled to send it’s copy of the replications to a third off-site server. I want to make sure I can receive notification the same on all three servers.
Hi Andrew, The software does support extended replication; however, the control is not as granular. For the tertiary (your off-site) server, the interface does not have a special setting for “Extended”, you have set the Replication Monitor Mode to ‘All’ which will pick up everything. If the tertiary server is also a Primary for something else, it will also alert on those as well, this is where the granularity of control is not a fine. In that case, you would just get more alerts. The middle server is a ‘Replica’ server itself, with a relationship of ‘Extended’. It has another… Read more »
Thank you for your help. I finally got around to purchasing and setting it up on one of my servers and it has been working well so far. I do have one question… From what I have gathered the polling frequency happens every 15 minutes and if the status of the replication has changed it sends an alert. There is also the status alert configurable for daily or weekly emails that I receive at the time I specified. I would like to receive only 1 email per day at the specified customizable alert time. I found I cannot change the… Read more »
Hi Andrew, Glad to hear it’s working. Here are a few suggestions: 1. You could change the replication poll frequency to a higher value rather than lower. The poll frequency is the amount of time between HVRM replica health checks. If you were to increase this value to something like every 8 or 12 hours (480 or 720 minutes – the interface accepts this value in minutes) – it likely would not check the status during your daily backup. Also keep in mind, the poll frequency time begins when you start the service, so ensure that when you start the… Read more »
Hey Brian,
Thanks for the quick response always!
I noticed I am running into an issue with the alert email. Regardless of how many email addresses I list for the Email alert, only the last email address listed is receiving an alert email.
I listed the email addresses according to the user guide by simply adding spaces between them i.e.
first@first.com second@second.com third@third.com
In this configuration only third@third.com receives the email.
If I rearrange the order, still only the last listed email address receives the alert.
Any ideas on this one?
Hi Andrew,
You compliment me on my responsiveness and for the first time I didn’t answer 🙁 Sorry about that – I had some personal and business issues arise that was taking all my time! Was working until 2AM at times. Anyway, I’m looking in to it now. I will get back to you soon.
Thanks,
Brian
Hi Andrew,
It looks like the website was wrong about the separator being a ‘space’. I used a ‘comma’ and it worked. The User Guide as been updated to reflect this change. Try it and let me know!
Thanks,
Brian
Hey Brian, I understand how things can be crazy at times! I was able to figure out the comma solution by guessing and testing. Thanks for the confirmation and updating the guide! As for the previous issue I created a task in Task Scheduler to restart the HVRM service at 11pm. Polling is set to 12 hours so 11pm when the service is restarted and 11am is the next poll. This is nice because I will get a notification during the day if the replication service didn’t recover from the backups the night before but only on failures. If all… Read more »
Hi Andrew, you can login to your account and download a new version (v. 2.2.6963.34651) of the software which has the following new features: 1. A new mode added for Extended Replicas. 2. Ability to set the Replication Poll Frequency to 0 to disable this in favor of status only updates 3. Ability to check a box to get a status alert on Service start. 4. Bugfix where a rare timing condition could cause the re-use of resources internally to the service and produce unexpected results. (never actually seen this happen though) 5. Bugfix where the ‘From’ dialog box was… Read more »
Should I license all primary and replica servers? Or only license for primary servers is enough?
Hi Boshko,
The detailed answer to your question is in the user guide – in the subsection ‘Replication Monitor Mode’. I have created a direct jump link to that specific area of text, here: https://www.iqspiral.com/user-guide/#ReplicationMonitorMode. You will find the various types of installation scenarios and the recommended amount of licensed installs for the type of replication topology you have.
Hello,
Just purchased this. I have configured it to send me a status alert at 9am each morning, but it doesnt seem to send anything. Test email works fine and also I have noticed the logs only appear if I restart the service. I have tried setting primary and all.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Hi Tim, It is possible to send a test email via the UI without clicking Apply. If you do not click ‘Apply’ and then ‘Start’ the service, the changes to the UI go away (meaning you tested your password but didn’t save it). This allows you to test various settings without modifying the service. The interface will not show a blank password – it always shows dots. Please try: 1. Typing in the password once again, then select ‘Send Test Email’ to ensure it works. 2. Press ‘Apply’ to write that to the config file. 3. Stop and Start the… Read more »
Hi Tim, Replying to you so everyone that reads this can know what the final resolution is/was. There is a bug in the email function of HVRM Service where the ‘From’ email address is used as the ‘username’ credential when sending email during the Service runtime. This bug doesn’t affect the ‘Send a Test Email’ because the bug exists in the Service side and not the UI side. Setting the ‘From’ dialog box to be the same as the ‘Username’ dialog box corrected the issue as a work-around. Alerts are now flowing. I will be publishing a new version with… Read more »

It does!
Thanks.
Hello,
I have 2 X 5 node clusters
1 in our Main server Room
1 in our Disaster Recovery Server Room
As I have set replication on all VM’s in our MCR hosts does this mean i only need to purchase 5 licenses to replicate from MCR > DR as we are only concerned about replicating one way ?
Or do I just need to purchase 2 licenses . One each for my Replica servers . 1 on MCR & 1 in DR
Regards
Karl
If I understand you correctly. You have a Server room with 5 servers running Windows Clustering (I’m guessing – cluster services fails over VMs to any of those 5 nodes). You don’t replicate between any of those 5 nodes because you are using cluster services, but you do replicate all the VMs offsite. If I understand this correctly, all servers in this setup run at least 1 VM which is being replicated offsite. So 5 primaries and 5 replica servers. If this is the setup, I would buy 5 licenses and install them on the replica servers at your DR… Read more »

Hi Brad,
In this instance, the most likely scenario is that there is some input as it relates to the UI that is causing this issue. If you’d like, I can assist by using TeamViewer on your server to inspect what’s going on.
give me a buzz on the number you previously called.

Hallo Brian,
We are considering purchasing this software for our replica servers. Is it possible to monitor multiple replica servers with this package?
Is there also a possibility to request a trial so that we can try the software before purchasing a license?
There is no trial version, unfortunately. Please review the guide for an idea of how the software operates. The software can monitor as many VMs as there are per host, however it requires a license per replica server to monitor many of them. Thank you.
Hello,
I have imported the license file. Company Name is showing ok but server name ,license key or valid signature is set to No.

Hi Rachel, sorry to hear about your issue you are having. I *think I may know the reason. I noticed the license server name field has a username entered in that field instead of a valid server name. Please login to you account and change the licensed server name field to match the name of the host computer.

Hi Brian,
We have two licenses in use. I noticed that we are not getting daily notifications any more, and the service is stopping. When I manually start the service and send test email, it arrives, but with all variables and not showing the actual data.
We upgraded from 2016 to 2019. I am not sure whether the upgrade and the issue happened at the same time.
Anything to check?
Thanks,
Pavla
Hi Pavla,
Sorry to hear of your troubles. The test email should only show variables. However, if you have the box checked “Alert on Start” that should send you a fully populated email.
Can you send me the log file? Also, there have been times when I’ve been able to tell what has happened when by looking at the event logs. Lastly, which version on you on? The current version is 2.2.6963.34651.
Thanks,
Brian
Brian,
Thanks for the response. We are on the current version, and you are right, I now remember that the test email always did that.
How do you want me to send you the logs?
I was snooping around in the logs and see this error repeating since the last successful notification on 12/28:
System.Exception: Exception of type ‘System.Exception’ was thrown.

Pavla,
If you navigate to the following folder:
C:\Program Files\IQ Spiral\HV Replication Monitor\Logs
zip em up and send them to bwilliams@iqspiral.com
Thanks,
Brian
Hi Pavla,
I generally write the results on here in case it helps someone else. So the service was crashing after an upgrade from 2016 to 2019 with custom properties set. I had Pavla press the default button, which reset the properties to the standard ones, and the service is now running. We’re trying to figure out which custom property selected is causing this. But base functionality is restored.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

Hi, ive just bought a licence and installed on my 2019 Hyper V Core server but the service wont start. Any ideas? thanks
Hi Tim, thank you for your purchase, sorry to hear about the problems. Does attempting to start the service produce a log file at all? it would be located in the installation directory: “C:\Program Files\IQ Spiral\HV Replication Monitor\Logs”. You can get additional assistance with working with the command line here:
https://www.iqspiral.com/command-line/
Look for Examples 3 and 4, toward the bottom of the page.
If you have continued issues we can share a Skype session and I can remote control the machine with TeamViewer to diagnose the issue.
Please send the log file to bwilliams@iqspiral.com
Thanks,
Brian
Thanks for the quick response. Thats helped. Its a licencing issue becuase i completely forgot to licence the software. However i dont seem to be able to browse to the licence file under Server Core its just closes the windows. Is there another way? thanks
Right, the joys of Core Edition. Core edition is stingy when it comes to dialog boxes and the use of the graphic elements of Windows. Thus, although you can open a custom GUI, such as HVRM, when HVRM needs to display a dialog box that’s reliant on the Windows OS, such as File-Open boxes, it cannot. Thus, the software can be successfully licensed by simply placing the iqshvreplmon.lic file you received via email in the folder: “C:\Program Files\IQ Spiral\HV Replication Monitor” This will have to be done at the command line using the command prompt or PowerShell commands. If you… Read more »
Bingo all sorted, thanks for the help and great little product
I have retired an old replica server. Can I transfer the license to its replacement or does a new license need to be purchased?
If you login to the website, go to MY Account, you can change the server name there and select the box “Send License File”. There are limited number of times this can be done. It’s on the honor system.
Thank you for the quick response!
This program has ran bullet proof for me for over a year now. I love it. Do you have any similar software or service that reports on the built in Windows Server Backup? I’d be a customer. Thank you!
Well, I haven’t written anything commercial for that purpose, but about 5 years ago, I wrote some code in PowerShell to do that. I think I set it up as a scheduled task, and it emailed me the results. It looks like worked remotely against servers, you’re welcome to give it a shot if you want to try it out. I can email it to you directly.
I’ve just installed and licensed on my 2 servers. My problem is with sending emails: every test ends up in a timeout error, like this:

I’ve tried several configurations and email addresses, and I succeeded only once, with my private Gmail address, configuring Gmail account to allow less secure apps.
Can you help please?
Thanks, BR
In all the cases where I’ve assisted people with this issue it comes down to 1 of 3 things. 1. Credentials, 2. Wrong Port, 3. Wrong SMTP Host. In most cases it’s actually some incorrect SMPT Host and Port combination. Who is the email provider you’re trying to use? Is it something common like Microsoft / Google, or something else? One troubleshooting technique I use to help users figure out their settings is to open a PowerShell command prompt and attempt to use the commnandlet: Send-MailMessage. If you can successfully send mail with that, simply use the settings from that… Read more »
Just checking in, is your issue resolved?

I’m working on it, but it seems that the problem is the access to smtps.aruba.it:465.
Trying to ping it I resolve the name, I’m sure about credentials, but I still obtain only a timeout error. I’m creating a new account on google, with gmail it should work. I’ll let you know asap. Thanks a lot! Roberto
Sending mail works fine with Gmail. Issue resolved. Just another minor issue: sending test mail, I receive 2 emails.
The correct one is:
SERVERONE: Normal
and the status of the VMs
The other one is:
SERVERONE: ^OverAllHlthState^
and the body is:
^VMName^ ^ReplState^ ^ReplHlth^ ^PendReplSzMB^ ^AvgReplSzMB^ ^ReplMode^ ^VMId^
Thanks again for the support.

Each day at 3am, we receive the following warning email. This is happening because some SQL maintenance tasks are occuring on the VM and for some reason this is being picked up us a major 67GB (on average) change to some data on that VM. The replication is happening over WAN: Last successful replication for virtual machine ‘ABC’ has been delayed. Delay has exceeded the defined warning limit. Replication might be encountering problems.

Hi Josh, The only thing I can think of is to stop the HV Replication Monitor service with a scheduled task daily at that specified time. You would also need to uncheck the box that says “Alert on Start” in HV Replication Monitor. The purpose of “Alert on Start” is simply to let you know the software is operational – but you could know that by specifying the time of your “Daily Status Alerts” to being fairly early in the day (if you desire those). The reason the software cannot be configured to ignore those type of messages (in the… Read more »
Thanks Brian. I’ll give it a go soon and let you know how we get on.
Seems to be working with the scheduled stop/start of the service. Thanks Brian!
Glad to hear it! Excellent.
Good Morning Brian, when sending a test email it shows up as this:
^VMName^ ^ReplState^ ^ReplHlth^ ^PendReplSzMB^ ^AvgReplSzMB^ ^ReplMode^ ^VMId^
Is this normal for a test email, and would it append/read and display the Hyper-V virtual machine’s when the daily trigger email?
Hi James, This is normal. Those are placeholders. The reason it sends out the placeholders is you are using the GUI portion of the program – it doesn’t actually query Hyper-V for the status, only the installed Windows service does that. The purpose of the test email is to just ensure that communication is functional based on your email related input. The daily status email will contain actual values because it is generated by the service as well. If you want to see a real email right away, you can enable “Alert on Start” – and as soon as the… Read more »
Hi, I’ve been using HVRM for a few years and recently it has stopped sending emails. When I attempt to send the test email it crashes (“IQSHVReplMonConsole has stopped working”, Windows server 2016). I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program with no luck. Please help, thanks
Hi Justin, thanks for reaching out – and I’m glad that it has performed for you for ‘years’! How about we meet tomorrow at around 10AM CST to resolve the issue? Also, check to ensure you are on the current version, which I believe is: 2.2.6963.34651 – if not you can log in to you account and download the current version. I believe you’ll have to right-click the executable where it’s installed to get the properties on the file to compare your version.
Thanks,
Brian
Hi Brian, thanks for the amazingly quick reply. I’m in Australia so that would mean 3am for me which isn’t my first preference! Do you have anything else available please? Thanks mate
Sure thing, I can be available tomorrow evening (in my time zone) – you name the time…perhaps the same time as it is now – only tomorrow?
Brian
Any time from 4pm to 9pm CST works for me. Thanks!
Hi Brian, thanks heaps for your fast and professional help. Problem is now resolved and I am a very happy camper!
Glad to be of service! Thanks again for buying the software.
Brian
I have been looking at this product and not sure I have found an answer to a question I have. If I purchased 2 licenses could I install the product on Machine A (Not a Hyper-V Host) to monitor all the VMs running on Machine B and Machine C which are Hyper-V Hosts?
Hi Bryan,
The software only runs on Hyper-V hosts, it does not remote monitor. It is possible to install it only on Machine B, if Machine C is a replica partner. However, I generally recommend a license for both if they replicate both ways B to C and C to B. If it’s a 1 way replication, you can get away with a single license, but I prefer having it on both machines to get alerts if one side has a problem and isn’t responsive.
Thx,
Brian
Thank you for the fast response. Unfortunately my host operating systems are Hyper – V Server 2019 and not Windows Server so I do not believe this will work.
It will likely work, as it has been tested to run on Windows Core. Have a look at this page as it describe the various steps required to get it working from the command-line:
https://www.iqspiral.com/command-line/
So, in the past, I had tried in on Windows Server Core. In this case, I had to find an internet archive of Hyper-V Server 2019 as Microsoft isn’t making it available anymore for download. I installed it, and tested HV Replication Monitor. It works just fine. If you need some help with setup, I can join a Skype call with you and use TeamViewer to remote in and help out.
Thank you. I fell pretty confident that it will also work on Windows Core after looking at the documentation you sent as I have done command line installs previously. I will reach out if I have any issues during the install or setup. Thank you again for the very quick replies and information you provided.
I am sorry but had one more question. If Host A is my primary replicating to Host B but I have backup machines running on Host B replicating back to Host A is there a specific way I should configure the interface or will I be able to monitor the B to A replication?
You can either install 1 copy on each server and have it in ‘Replica’ Mode; OR install 1 copy on one of the servers, and set it to ‘ALL’ mode.
For more detail, go here:
https://www.iqspiral.com/user-guide/
And look at the “Replication Monitor Mode” section….it’s a couple of pages down.
Thx,
Brian
Hi Brian, I’ve run into a situation several times where hyper V stop replicating altogether and from the best that I can tell after the initial notification was sent no more notifications are sent by your application. Seems to be an undesired effect as I would want to continually notified that replication is not working. Let me know if you run into this situation before or have any thoughts on it. Thank you
Dave
Hi David, The behavior you described is actually as intended. I used to work for a large enterprise company, where I was on-call for over 4,000 servers. The worst thing is when several of them had a problem they were constant spamming me with alerts (sometimes over 200 alerts for basically 2 or 3 actual problems). Eventually, I’d become numb to my phone going off and started ignoring it so I could fix the problem(s). During that time, if I got another alert, from something new, I would miss it. The way it’s designed, basically the status is what it… Read more »
Is there any discount for 6 licences ?
Hi John, I appreciate your interest in my software, but I do not offer discounts. I can say this, the licenses are not a subscription and are perpetual – which is a bonus imo. I actually do not even have a mechanism to provide one as the backend software would require a webpage layout redesign to do so. Some folks have purchased a single license to test it out and come back to purchase the rest to ensure it meets their expectations. I’ve never had a complaint as the software does exactly what it says it does. What you see… Read more »
Hi, the mail sending does not work anymore. I’m using a google account, and I get the error “The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated.
Here is a log. Thanks for your support.
Hi Roberto, I removed your log information from your post – which I copied first. You had quite a bit of sensitive information in there – so I wanted to protect you. The short answer, is gmail has changed the way they allow mail clients to talk to them. I usually don’t like to use them anymore for this type of thing (which I think that’s what they want). Anyway, I’ll give you a more detailed answer shortly.
It’s as I suspected, Google refers to applications that do not use 2-factor authentication as “Less Secure Apps”. They used to have a toggle in your Gmail account that allowed those application to function. But alas, they’ve done away with it.
Apparently they began phasing it out starting in April, per this: https://wpmailsmtp.com/gmail-less-secure-apps/
Anyway, I recommend using a different mail provider. For my alerts, I’m using a paid account through my web hosting provider – it’s cheap, and it’s easier than dealing with Google.
Hi Brian,
Sorry for my late reply. Trying to reply to our thread, but I just see a blank page on my browser, so I’m sending a new message. I tried to set up a new (paid) email account, but now I get a “timeout” error. Maybe this is my side fault? Thanks a lot for your support.
Alright, looking at your log file information now….
Hi Roberto,
I looked at your log file and found this setting suspect:
29/12/2022 11:08:00 SMTP Host: smtps.aruba.it
I did some searching and found that the correct SMTP address is most likely smtp.aruba.it – without the extra S.
Strangely I did find some sites that indicated the extra S, but more of the sites I found don’t show that.
Here’s a site that shows some code using the SMTP (the bottom of the page):
https://www.limilabs.com/blog/aruba-it-technet-it-imap-pop3-smtp-settings
Here’s another site:
https://serversmtp.com/smtp-aruba/
Hi Brian,
I’ve tried with smtp.aruba.it, same timeout error. I will try with some other email account/provider and let you know. Thanks
Try to ping smtp.aruba.it from the server…I get:
Pinging smtp.aruba.it [94.177.209.30]
But no responses, which can be normal, sometimes the firewall is configured not to respond to pings the important thing here, is that smtp.aruba.it resolves to an IP. Can your server resolve that name to an IP address?
Thanks,
Brian
Good Morning Brian,
Sorry, but after a few months, I’m back on my emails sending issue (my gmail account doesn’t work anymore, neither Aruba account. Can you please tell me a provider you know works fine with this? I’ll buy an email account. Thanks, BR
Hi, the issue with Microsoft and Google type providers is that they’re disabling the ability to send SMTP mail via regular authentication. The new process is very difficult to implement. I use a mailbox provided by hover.com that works flawlessly. A client of mine recently signed up for a sendgrid account because of this very same issue. None of their emails for dozens of application would work any more, using sendgrid has also worked flawlessly.
Thanks,
Brian

I can’t reply to your message (when I try I obtain a blank page), but I tell you that I subscribed an account at Sendgrid and eveything works fine! Thanks a lot for your support. BR Roberto Conti

Hi, we would like to add another server to our account. Please could you let me know the correct method to upgrade our existing license to get the additional Hyper-V host added.
Many thanks!
I thank you for your business! All you need to do is login to your account (at the top of the screen “My Account”). After that, just go back to the home screen and select “Buy Now”. After filling out the information (selecting the amount and adding your additional server name in the comma separated list), and purchasing, an updated license file will be sent to you.

Hi Brian, we’re having an issue with our newly added server (our other server is fine in terms of sending email alerts).
