A "trouble ticket" in the CCMS alert monitor and monitoring architecture. Alerts direct the system administrator's attention to critical or potentially dangerous situations in an SAP System.
The CCMS alert monitor assesses the values that are reported to it by collection methods and compares them with predefined alert thresholds. If the incoming data violates a threshold, the alert monitor triggers an alert.
The alert status of each MTE in a monitoring tree is clearly displayed and color coded according to its criticality:
The importance of a red or yellow alert is ranked according to its severity. The monitoring architecture propagates alerts up the monitori ng tree, so a red alert with a higher severity than another red alert will be displayed as the most important alert at the top of the tree.
