The database monitor checks important performance indicators in the database system, such as database size, database buffer quality, and database indexes.

The database monitor works with each database system supported by SAP, and uses the statistics supplied by the database system that you are working with. You can access most of these database system statistics from the CCMS Performance Monitoring menu.

You can use the database monitor to:

• Monitor the database of an active production SAP System

• Analyze certain types of problems

• Get information that you need to tune the database system

Although the database monitor accesses and evaluates database-specific statistics, it has essentially the same appearance regardless of which database system you are working with.

You can call the database monitor from every application server in your SAP System. The data displayed by the database monitor is identical on each application server.
