Selfmonitoring CCMS Agents Monitor (SAP Library

Selfmonitoring CCMS Agents Monitor

Use

You can use this monitor to monitor the CCMS agents in your IT landscape. In addition to the RFC destination of the agent, the monitor provides the following information about each agent:

The host on which the agent was installed
The application server that the agent is checking (for agent SAPCCM4X)
How long the agent has been active or inactive, and when it was last checked
The availability of the agent

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

Features

There is a separate subtree for each individual CCMS agent (SAPCCMSR, SAPCM3X, SAPCCM4X), that provides data to the Alert Monitor of the monitored system. The name of the subtree is the same as the RFC destination of the agent and has the following structure:

<Type of agent>.<Name of host system>.<System number of monitored instance>

Each of these subtrees consists of the following monitoring tree elements (MTEs):

MTE	Description
Description	Information about which application server on which host is monitored by the agent
Status	Information about whether the agent is active or inactive and how long it has been in that state
Heartbeat	Time since the last test of whether the agent is still active; if the agent is inactive, this attribute contains the value 0 sec
Availability	Percentage of the time in which the agent is active (by default in the last 15 minutes; you can change the time period in the Properties of the MTE class)
