|**metric_id**|**int**|Identifies a replication performance metric being monitored as defined in the [MSreplmonthresholdmetrics](../../relational-databases/system-tables/msreplmonthresholdmetrics-transact-sql.md) system table.|  
|**value**|**sql_variant**|The threshold value of the metric being monitored.|  
|**shouldalert**|**bit**|A value of **1** indicates that an alert should be generated when the metric exceeds the defined threshold.|
