Configuring Monitoring and Logs in ICSS 

 

There are two ways of monitoring ICSS:

·        With Computing Center Management System (CCMS).
This enables you to view some information about the current state of ICSS. This information can be viewed in the central monitoring system.  This is explained below in section Monitoring with CCMS.

·        With the ICSS Administration Console
This enables you to view the logs as well as different cache statistics, JCO statistics, version information.  It also enables you to configure what is to be logged. This is also explained below in section Monitoring via the Administration Console.

 

Monitoring with CCMS

Computing Center Management System (CCMS) allows a system administrator to monitor information concerning several applications, including ICSS. This information can be viewed in the central monitoring system. 

CCMS can monitor ICSS information in the following ways:

       1.      ICSS sends information to CCMS about the ICSS version, XCM configurations, and ICSS performance and activity.

       2.      Heartbeat: to monitor XCM component configurations.

       3.      Log file monitoring.

For more information on the configuration of Monitoring in ICSS, refer to the CRM Monitoring Installation Guide (see http://service.sap.com ).

 

Monitoring with the Administration Console

The ICSS Administration Console enables you to monitor log files, system or catalog cache, JCO information, and data information. For ICSS to perform monitoring and logging, parameters must be set up in the web.xml file in order to specify exactly what will be monitored and logged. Once this is set, the Administration Console will let you to view the monitored data and update some parameters.

 

Optional Java Configuration

The default entry for this parameter is sufficient for ICSS to work correctly. 

Parameters for specifying the monitoring entries (in web.xml)

Parameter Name	Sample Entry	Description
adminconfig.core.isa.sapmarkets.com	sat, isacorecache, catalogcache, corecache, jcoinfo, logging, version, loggingfiledownload, appinfo, xcmadmin	Customizes what can be viewed within the Monitor area of the Administration Console

 

Logging Parameter Maintenance and Monitoring

The Administration Console enables the ICSS administrator to view:

·        Cache Statistics

·        JCO Pool information and data information which the application is accessing

·        All the log files of ICSS application as well as the information for a certain current session

·        Version of the environment where ICSS is installed and running.

The Logging Config Parameters are stored in the log-config.properties file, to which the Administration Console provides a read/write interface.

Changes in the Logging Config Parameters do not take effect dynamically. You need to stop and restart the application using SAP J2EE Engine server administrator tool after you have changed the log-config.properties file using the Administration Console.

 

Changes should be saved by pressing the Apply Changes.
