Monitoring and Alerting Analysis Tools

The Monitoring and Alerting Infrastructure (MAI) contains a variety of different analysis tools for error handling. Using these tools, you can monitor and safeguard the proper functioning of the system monitoring and the other use cases of the MAI.

The analysis tools are closely connected with the Self-Monitoring of the MAI. The Self-Monitoring keeps you informed about the trustworthiness and timeliness of the monitoring data; if the Self-Monitoring reports an issue, you can use the analysis tools to resolve it.

Features

The Monitoring and Alerting Infrastructure tools are grouped along the following different activities:

  • Analysis of the monitoring data and the data provisioning

  • Displaying logs and traces

  • Administrating technical settings of the MAI

  • Configuration of templates, metrics, monitoring settings and managed objects

  • Simulation and testing

Additionally, the tools offer a launchpad for the most commonly used UIs within monitoring and related components to provide a convenient access of the affected applications during troubleshooting. These include general UIs available on the launchpad as well as tools related to the following technical components:

Description

Data Provider Connector

The Data Provider Connector is responsible for delivering metric or event instances from managed objects to the MAI. In SAP Focused Run, only push-based communication will be used for metric data transport from the managed objects to the MAI.

Landscape Management

The Landscape Management uses the Landscape Management Database (LMDB) as the central landscape information repository.

Self-Monitoring

To monitor the functioning of the MAI, a Self-Monitoring containing a large number of metrics and alert types, as well as various views and applications, is available to you to provide prior warning about possible problems.

Template Repository

The Template Repository is the storage place and delivery infrastructure for metrics, events and alerts (MEAs) based on templates. It is the pool of all MEAs that can principally be used by the customer.
