Determining the Collector
Note
This section is part of the Extend Monitoring and Alerting Infrastructure with CCMS Metrics process. This process shows how you can extend technical monitoring with additional, previously not monitored CCMS metrics. Perform the previous steps in the process.
You have determined the most impoertant attributes of the CCMS metric to be integrated into technical monitoring, in Determining CCMS Metric Attributes. This section tells you which data collectors to use, depending on these attributes.
To use the CCMS metric in MAI, create it in the technical monitoring configuration, in the SAP Solution Manager configuration (transaction SOLMAN_SETUP). Specify the data provision of the metric by specifying a data collector and its input parameters. The collector and its input parameter value depend on the CCMS metric attributes that you have determined.
Activities
Depending on the attributes of the CCMS metric to be integrated into technical monitoring, the following data collectors of type RFC (Pull)
are available; use the CCMS metric attributes as input parameters:
CCMS MTE
Use this collector for an instance-specific metric which delivers a numeric value. The object name is not one of the input parameters of the collector, so the MTE class must uniquely determine the MTE in an instance (which is the case for most CCMS metrics). The collector requires the following input parameters
Parameter ID
Parameter Name
Comments
GRANULARITY
Granularity
As the infrastructure calls the collectors every five minutes, use this frequency, unless the CCMS metric is already measured less frequently.
MTE_CLASS
MTE class
INSTANCE
Instance
This parameter is filled automatically, and cannot be changed.
CCMS MTE + Object Name
Use this collector for an instance-specific metric which returns a numerical value, but for whose unique determination the object name is required. The collector requires the following input parameters
Parameter ID
Parameter Name
Comments
GRANULARITY
Granularity
See above
KEY_FIGURE
Key figure
Specify the MTE class of the CCMS metric.
OBJECT_NAME
Object Name
INSTANCE
Instance
This parameter is filled automatically, and cannot be changed.
CCMS System wide MTEs
Use this collector for an system-wide metric which delivers a numeric value. The collector requires the following input parameters
Parameter ID
Parameter Name
GRANULARITY
Granularity
MTE_CLASS
MTE class
OBJECT_NAME
Object Name
CCMS Get Current Values
Use this collector for an system-wide metric which may not deliver a numeric value. The collector requires the following input parameters
Parameter ID
Parameter Name
CONTEXT
Context
MTE_CLASS
MTE class
You can now determine the data collector and its input parameters, from the attributes of the CCMS metric.
The next section (Creating MAI Metrics from CCMS Metrics) tells you how to create the required MAI metrics, using this information.
