Object documentationSystem Performance App

 

There is an app to show the performance of your managed systems. This app shows the performance of managed systems during a selected period. You can adjust the period to which the performance values relate and the systems whose performance is shown, in the app configuration.

The data for this app comes from System & Application Monitoring. 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. If, for example, the app shows 80% green for a system, the response time was below the threshold for a yellow alert for 80% of the selected period.

As well as the performance of the individual managed systems, the mean performance value is shown in a pie chart.

Each system is weighted by the number of its measurement values in the calculation of the mean. The normal number of measurement values rises proportionally to the number of instances of the systems. A system with a lot of instances, and thus usually more users and greater importance, makes a greater contribution to the mean value.

Note Note

The role SAP_SM_DASHBOARDS_DISP contains authorization to call dashboards and apps. To be able to call the system performance app, the authorization object Solution Manager Dashboard Instance (technical name SM_DSBINST) in the Dashboard Authorization Group must have the value CIO_TECHOP.
