After successfully connecting to the Publisher or Distributor, the name of each Publisher and its Distributor are displayed in the grid at the top of the dialog box.

The Distributor and Publisher often run on the same instance of SQL Server, but the Distributor can run on another instance (this configuration is referred to as a remote Distributor).
Remove

This button cannot be used to remove a Publisher that is already displayed in Replication Monitor. To remove a Publisher that is already displayed right-click the Publisher in the left pane of Replication Monitor and click Remove.
Connect automatically when Replication Monitor starts
Select to allow Replication Monitor to automatically connect to the Distributor and retrieve status information for the Publisher selected in the grid at the top of the dialog box. If this checkbox is cleared, you must manually connect after launching Replication Monitor: right-click the Publisher in the left pane of Replication Monitor, and click Connect.Automatically refresh the status of this Publisher and its publications
Select to allow Replication Monitor to automatically refresh status for the Publisher selected in the grid at the top of the dialog box. If this option is selected, Replication Monitor polls the Distributor for status information on the Publisher and its publications. The polling interval is set by the Refresh rate option. For more information on refresh in Replication Monitor, see Caching, Refresh, and Replication Monitor Performance.Refresh rate
Enter a value (in seconds) to specify how frequently Replication Monitor should poll the Distributor for status. Lower values result in more frequent polling, which can affect performance at the Distributor if you are monitoring a large number of Publishers. It is recommended that you test your system to determine an appropriate value. The Refresh rate setting is also used if you select Auto Refresh in any of the detail windows in Replication Monitor.Show this Publisher in the following group
Select a Publisher group from the list. The Publisher is displayed under this group in the left pane. Groups provide a way to organize Publishers and have no effect on how replication functions. If no groups are defined or you want to create a new one, click New Group.New Group
Click to create a new Publisher group. A Publisher group provides a convenient way to organize Publishers within Replication Monitor. Groups do not affect the replication of data or the relationship among servers in a replication topology.
