Configuring/Self-Monitoring of the Global Workload Monitor

Use

You can use the Global Workload Monitor to analyze the workload of components that write Distributed Statistics Records (DSRs). You can influence the type and scope of the data entry and the data storage in a number of ways.

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 Contents of the Performance Database

  Statistical data for DSR components is, like ABAP statistics 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.

• Displaying Collector Logs

  You can display the messages of the collector for the DSR statistics and the various component collectors, and filter them by different types (Information, Warning, Error, or Termination).

• Setting the 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 forresponse time distribution and foravailability.

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 ofMessages of the Collectors.

• Displaying ABAP Statistics Records from Remote Systems and DSRs

  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:

  • Configuring the Display of Statistics Data from Remote Systems
  • Configuring the Display of DSRs of the Local System
  • Configuring the Display of DSRs of Remote Systems
