Monitoring Transactional Replication in SQL Server

[Rajeev R]

Hi Team,

Could you please let me know do you have any TSQL script to monitor replication(Transactional, Snapshot) with error message and the current status ? I have tried below script but it giving error. could you please share any new script ?

"Msg 8164, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSload_tmp_replication_status, Line 80

An INSERT EXEC statement cannot be nested."

Script :
