|**Applies to**: [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] ([!INCLUDE[ssKatmai](../../includes/sskatmai-md.md)] through [current version](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=299658)).|

## Syntax  
  
```  
  
sp_refresh_log_shipping_monitor  
[ @agent_id = ] 'agent_id',  
[ @agent_type = ] 'agent_type'  
[ @database = ] 'database'  
[ @mode ] n  
```  
  
## Arguments  
 [ **@agent_id=** ] **'***agent_id***'**  
 The primary ID for backup or the secondary ID for copy or restore. *agent_id* is **uniqueidentifier** and cannot be NULL.  
  
 [ **@agent_type=** ] **'***agent_type***'**  
 The type of log shipping job.  
  
 0 = Backup.  
  
 1 = Copy.  
  
 2 = Restore.  
  
 *agent_type* is **tinyint** and cannot be NULL.  
  
 [ **@database=** ] **'***database***'**  
 The primary or secondary database used by logging by backup or restore agents.  
  
 [ **@mode** ] *n*  
 Specifies whether to refresh the monitor data or clean it. The data type of *m* is tinyint, and the supported values are:  
  
 1 = refresh (This is the default value.)  
  
 2 = delete  
  
## Return Code Values  
 0 (success) or 1 (failure)  
  
## Result Sets  
 None.  
  
## Remarks  
 **sp_refresh_log_shipping_monitor** refreshes the **log_shipping_monitor_primary**, **log_shipping_monitor_secondary**, **log_shipping_monitor_history_detail**, and **log_shipping_monitor_error_detail** tables with any session information that has not already been transferred. This allows you to synchronize the monitor server with primary or a secondary server when the monitor has been out of sync for awhile. Additionally, it allows you to clean up the monitor information on monitor server if necessary.  
  
 **sp_refresh_log_shipping_monitor** must be run from the **master** database on the primary or secondary server.  
  
## Permissions  
 Only members of the **sysadmin** fixed server role can run this procedure.
