Alert Logging for CCMS Agents
Use
You can define an additional log file for every
CCMS agent that logs all alerts that the agent reports. This is especially useful if you do not use the CCMS monitoring architecture (which has its own log) to display alerts, but want to use other system management tools that are to be based on the data provided by the CCMS agents.Features
Installation
If you want to use this alert logging, you must set both of the following parameters in the
SAPCCMSR.INI configuration file for the CCMS agent during the Installation of the CCMS agent.Parameter to Activate Alert Logging
