The Replication Agents object in Microsoft® SQL Server™ provides counters to monitor the SQL Server replication agents that are currently running. Monitoring the number of running Distribution and Merge Agents is useful to determine the number of Subscribers to which published databases are replicating. Multiple instances of the Replication Agents object can be monitored at the same time, with each instance representing a single replication agent: Log Reader; Snapshot; Distribution; and Merge.
These are the SQL Server Replication Agents counters.
