Purpose

This section provides an overview of using the alert monitor. For more information, see the detailed tutorial for getting started with the alert monitor.

Process Flow

Assume that you want to make a periodic check of your R/3 System.

  1. First, check the current condition of your R/3 System.

Start the alert monitor by choosing Administration ® CCMS ® Control/Monitoring ® Alert monitor. Alternatively, call Transaction RZ20.

Open a monitor from the monitor sets tree and display the Current system status view to see whether everything is green.

The alert monitor is ready to go when you install your R/3 System. There are no configuration or activation prerequisites that you have to fulfill before you use the monitor.

  1. Second, check to see what has happened in the system since you last looked. Use the Open alerts view in the monitor to see whether any yellow (warning) or red (problem) alerts have occurred.
  2. Thirdly, if there are open (unprocessed) alerts, you should resolve them. Switch to the Open alerts view and double-click on any red or yellow element in the monitoring tree (MTE) to open the alert browser and analyze the alerts.

Once you have analyzed an alert and taken any required action, set the alert to Complete to remove it from the open alerts display.
