The Technical Operations dashboard shows you the availability and performance of your managed systems. The performance and availability values of the managed systems, from technical monitoring, and the corresponding values of the monitored technical scenarios, from End User Experience Monitoring (EEM), are output. So you see the status from the perspectives of the backend, and of the user.
The dashboard answers the question, “Are my technical systems and scenarios available and performing well?”
The Technical Operations dashboard displays the following apps:
This app shows the availability of managed systems during a selected time interval. As well as the availability values of the individual managed systems, a mean value is calculated and output as a pie diagram.
This app shows the performance of managed systems during a selected time interval. The mean response time of the managed systems is measured regularly and compared with the threshold values for yellow and red alerts. The dialog response time thus always has a status, and the percentage distribution of this status through time is displayed for each system. Similarly to the system availability app, a mean value is also displayed.
This app outputs the performance and availability of the technical scenarios.
Note
When the dashboard is first called, all systems and technical scenarios for which technical monitoring is active at this time in the SAP Solution Manager setup (transaction SOLMAN_SETUP), are determined. If you add systems or scenarios to be monitored in technical monitoring, later, this does not change the dashboard data basis; you may have to reconfigure the apps.
