Configuring/Self-Monitoring of the Global Workload Monitor 

Use

You can use the Global Workload Monitor to analyze the workload of non-SAP R/3 components that write Distributed Statistics Records (DSRs). When doing so, there are many ways in which you can influence the type and scope of both the data collection and the data storage.

With the Global Workload Monitor, as with any tool for monitoring a system, you need to find a suitable compromise between the requirement for as precise a monitoring of the system as possible on one hand, and the requirement to avoid affecting system performance with the monitoring on the other.

Features

 Control

Functions for database and parameter maintenance for the DSR collector and the DSR performance database are available here.

·        Displaying and Deleting the Contents of the Performance Database

Statistical data for non-SAP R/3 systems is, like the SAP R/3 statistical records, stored and aggregated in a performance database. You can display the locally available data records of this DSR database in a table.

·        Controlling the Reorganization of the Performance Database

You can use this procedure to define for how long daily, weekly, and monthly statistics for the individual aggregates in the performance database are to be retained. These parameters apply equally to all components and component types.

·        Display Collector Logs

You can display the messages of the collector for the non-SAP R/3 statistics and the various component collectors, and filter them by different types (Information, Warning, Error, or Termination).

·        Setting Parameters to Control the DSR Collector

You can define general parameters to control the collector, depending on the component type or agent, here.

·        Setting Parameters for Statistics Generation

You can use this function to activate or deactivate various statistics for each component type and to set parameters that influence the formatting of the statistics for response time distribution and for availability.

 Settings and Log

·        Display Application Log

The application log contains error messages of the Global Workload Monitor itself. Among other things, RFC errors to other systems are recorded here. The structure of the page is identical to that of Messages of the Collectors.

·        Defining the Systems to Be Monitored

You can use this function to define which components are to be monitored using the Global Workload Monitor. For more information about this, see the following procedures:

¡        Displaying a Remote ABAP System in the Global Workload Monitor

¡        Displaying DSR Components in the Global Workload Monitor
