On a distributor, a 15-minute collector reads each distribution agent's
latest run (status, latency, message) and replication errors the last
day from the distribution database. That needs SELECT on
MSdistribution_agents, MSdistribution_history and MSrepl_errors, which
the agent does not have by default (never the replicated commands);
without it SQLI-REPL-001 (agent failed/retrying, High) and SQLI-REPL-002
(latency > 5 min, Medium) are "not measurable" with the exact grant, and
"not relevant" elsewhere. Shown on the instance page and in
GET /api/v1/instances/{name}/replication. Tested against a real
distributor set up in the SQL 2022 container.
