| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| ID | The ID of the replication peer. |
| Name | The name of the replication peer. |
| Remote Peer Name | The name of the remote peer cluster. |
| State | The state of the replication peer. Possible values: - Connected. The connection with the remote peer is alive. - Not Connected. There is no connection with the remote peer. - Delete_pending. The peer is being deleted. - Error. There is an error establishing connection with the remote peer either because the configured target cluster is not found or because the configured target cluster is the same as the source cluster, which is not supported. |

| Remote Space Left | The logical capacity remaining available on the remote peer. |
| Last Heart Beat | The time of the last successful message sent, arrived and acknowledged by the peer. |
| Remote Version | The software version running on the remote peer. |

| Health | An indication of whether the state is OK or not: - OK. if *State* is *Connected*. - Error, if *State* is other than *Connected*. |
| Secure Mode | Indicates whether replication to this peer will be encrypted over the wire with mTLS (Secure) or not (None). |
