CMC / Audit warnings
This monitor helps you to :
– Make sure that the CMC is available. As this monitor is doing the same actions as a user would do within his browser, you can increase the quality of the end user experience.
– Make sure there isn’t any warning in the CMC’s auditing dashboard. As this information is calculated by the CMC, the only way to check this is by doing it manually.
Pro.Monitor can do this for you.

Concurrent users
This monitor helps you to :
– Make sure that there is not a lot of users connected at the same time. You can have an alert when the number of concurrent sessions in your system is breaking a threshold. Moreover, this monitor can provide metrics that will allow you to have a chart representing the user activity in your system.
– Make sure that a user isn’t logged in your system too many times.

Schedules
This monitor helps you to :
– Make sure that nobody has configured a schedule to run too often. You can have an alert when a schedule is scheduled to run underneath a threshold (in minutes) you’ve configured.
– Make sure that you don’t have too many failed schedules in your system. This allows to make sure that you are not polluted with data you won’t need anymore.
– Send an alert every time a new failure is detected for a given schedule. Plus, this monitor will send metrics for you to have a chart with the execution states of a schedule.

Servers metrics
Monitor to make sure that a metric (populated by business object himself) isn’t breaking a threshold you’ve configured here. For example, you can have an alert if the concurrent number of audit events in the queues is more than 100.

Servers properties
Monitor to make sure that some configuration properties of you server aren’t configured with values you don’t want. For example, you can have and alert every time the log level is set to something else than “low”.

Servers status
With this monitor you will have an alert every time a server is in an unexpected state for more time than a threshold you’ve configured. For example, you can have an alert when a server is in the state “stopped” for more than one minute. As it’s completely customizable, you can make sure that nobody activates a server that you don’t want it to be working. This monitor can also send metrics concerning the state of the servers.

ABAP instance memory
This monitor will check the following memory metrics:
– Extended memory usage
– Heap memory usage and peak usage
– Paging and rolling memory usage
The monitor will send an alarm if any of the memory usage exceeds the thresholds.

ABAP instance response time
ABAP response time is one of the key metric to measure system performance as experienced by the users. It is important to detect any performance drop in order to react before too many users get impacted.

This monitor will watch for the response time of DIALOG, SPOOL and UPDATE tasks. It will also focus on specific database response time and steps rate to watch for system utilization. You can be notified with an alarm when a performance drop is detected or if system utilization increases above a limit, and constantly send those metrics to you monitoring system for dashboards or reports.

ABAP locks
This monitor will look for locks on table objects and generate alarms if too many locks are waiting since a given time.

ABAP shortdumps
A short dump is generated when a program ends unexpectedly. This is a serious indicator that something went wrong during its execution and that some business processes might be impacted. This monitor will watch for all short dumps occurred on the system.

Application logs
This monitor will focus on the application logs of the system. You can monitor log entry status, as well as the messages contained in a log. To enable the surveillance, you will have to define a list of objects and sub-objects that you want to watch. Note: It is not possible to set filters on text messages contained in the logs, only importance and severity can be monitored.

Batch inputs
This monitor is dedicated to the monitoring of batch inputs. It will look for batch input sessions with error status occurred within a period of time.
Notifies with an alarm when a batch input session is in error

Custom CCMS monitoring
The CCMS from SAP can contain thousands of metrics and alarm configurations. It has often been widely customized and one may want to keep using its configuration. This module has been designed to discover metrics and alarm configuration from the CCMS and to re-use it as is. Alarms generated by the CCMS can simply be detected and propagated, or CCMS configuration can be imported in Pro.Monitor and extended from there. Generic profiles can then be created and used on many different systems, from different departments or customers, while keeping a central configuration.

SAP Jobs monitoring
This monitor is dedicated to surveillance of SAP background jobs. It will watch for job error status, duration, delay and job occurrence. You can set general rule to watch any job and be notified as soon as any fails. You can also configure specific rule for a given job to monitor its real schedule or duration.

SAP transaction times
This monitor is dedicated to the monitoring of SAP transactions average execution time per step. You can define the transaction, task and period for which you want to analyze the response time. The monitor will then generate an alarm if the response time is over a threshold.

SAP transports
Transports are used to propagate changes across systems. It is important to detect when a transport is in an error state in order to reprocess it. This monitor will watch for failed transports and notify as soon as one is detected.

SAP users
The goal of this monitor is to follow the amount of connections on each application server and to detect when the number of connected users is above a threshold. you can differentiate interactive, RFC and plugin users and apply specific threshold for a given application server.

Spools
This monitor is dedicated for the monitoring of spools and spool requests: Used number and size for the spools, status and waiting time for the spool requests.

System Logs
Lots of problems can be detected by checking the system logs. This monitor gives the possibility to regularly check within a period of time if a given log pattern can be found in sys log. When a problem is detected, you will be notified by an alarm containing the line of logs itself, or a count of lines matching the pattern. This monitor can be very useful if you know the signature of a problem in the logs, to be notified as soon as it occurs. It can also be used to detect an abnormal number critical log lines.

Transactional RFC

This monitor is dedicated to the monitoring of SAP updates. It will look for updates with ERROR, NOT_COMPLETED or INCONSISTENT status. When an update or a group of updates with such status is discovered, the monitor will generate an alarm

Update service
This monitor is dedicated to the monitoring of one of the key service of the NetWeaver instance: the updates service. Sends an alarm as soon as the service is not running.

Work processes
Work processes are the actual workers in SAP. It is important to check their state, availability and run time. This monitor will watch work processes of all kinds, with the ability to tune the monitoring for specific tasks or cases. It will detect long running processes, stopped or private processes, compute the usage ratio, and notify as soon as a threshold on those metrics is reached.

Alerts
This monitor will collect the current alerts from HANA statistics engine and forward them through probe alarm interface.

Database CPU utilization
Monitors the CPU usage of HANA database at the instance and service levels.

Database disk usage
HANA database uses disks for persistence. To run out of disk space is to avoid at all cost to maintain the service running. This monitor will check disk used space of the HANA database at different levels.

Database memory utilization
Memory is the main resource of HANA DB and must be watched closely. This monitor will check the memory usage of every service and notify if utilization exceeds threshold.

HANA backups
Backups are important for disaster recovery, you have to make sure that DATA and LOG are saved regularly. This monitor will look for the time elapsed between last backup as well as backup size and duration.

HANA connections
The connections are an indicator of the database load and utilization. This monitor will watch for the number of RUNNING connections and send an alarm if too many are detected.

HANA nodes status
HANA nodes status are visible in the system and this monitor will watch for them. Send an alarm when a node is in an error state.

HANA replication LOG retention statistics
Log retention is important in the replication mechanism as it defines the capacity of the primary system to absorb and store changes waiting to be sent toward the secondary system. If logs are produced quicker than consumed for a long time, the replication will be compromised. This monitor will detect those situations and send alarms so you can react before replication stops.

HANA replication shipping statistics
Log shipping statistics is important in the replication mechanism as it defines the capacity of the primary system to send changes toward the secondary system. If logs are produced quicker than sent for a long time, the replication will be compromised. This monitor will detect those situations and send alarms so you can react before replication stops.

HANA replication status
System replication in HANA is a key component to be resilient against hardware failures or data corruption. This monitor will check that the replication system is in the expected state, during its nominal and transition phases (init,sync). It will also check for reconnects and fail overs and notifies as soon as those situations are detected.

HANA tables
To monitor table statistics is useful to detect potential performance or optimization problems. This monitor will check for the number of records and delta records as well as memory and disk usage of the column store tables.

HANA threads
Operations executed on the database occur within working threads. A long running thread can potentially indicate performance or optimization issues. This monitor will look for running threads and notify when a threads runs for too long.

HANA transactions
If too many transactions are blocked for a long time, this could indicate performance or optimization problems. This monitor will watch blocked and uncommitted transactions.

Merge statistics
Merge statistics will indicate the performance of the system in persisting changes. This monitor will check for the time taken by the merge operation applied on each table to detect any performance drop in the merge operations.

Services status
HANA services are the key components of the HANA systems and must stay available. This monitor will watch for the availability and status of all HANA services.

DATABASES

  • HANA 2.0
  • Sybase ASE
  • Oracle
  • DB2
  • Max DB
  • MSSQL

Sybase backups
This monitor will look for the last cumulative, database and transaction dumps and send an alarm if some are too old. It will also detect and report dump errors.

Sybase database size
Disk space is a critical resource for any database, to persist database and log data. This monitor is meant to detect situations where allocated disk space is running low.

Sybase deadlocks
Deadlocks can significantly reduce the performance of the applications and the response time for the users. This is usually reflecting a blocking situation which can last a long time. It is therefore very important to detect deadlocks and act rapidly to resolve them if necessary.

Sybase error logs
Errors logs is useful to detect problems and investigate their causes. This monitor will watch error logs and can report any specific or repetitive message. You will be notified as soon as a problem starts happening.

Sybase file system
File system is a critical resource for any database to persist database and log data. This monitor is meant to detect situations where file systems used by the database is running out of space.

Sybase performance
This monitor is meant to detect when the database is reaching its limits in processing capabilities. Such situations will impact response times for programs and users. It will check database CPU and threads usage.

Tablespaces size
An Oracle database consists of one or more logical storage units called tablespaces, which collectively store all of the database’s data. Each tablespace in an Oracle database consists of one or more files called datafiles, which are physical structures that conform to the operating system in which Oracle is running. This monitor is meant to watch datafiles utilization metrics.

Backups
This monitor can monitor backup status, dutation, size and elapsed time since last backup. You can quickly set general failed backup monitoring rules as well as custom rules for specific types of backups.
