Creating CCMS Agent Monitors in the Central Monitoring System

You can also easily create rule-based monitors for the data transferred by the agent. You can then access these monitors more quickly and more easily in the monitoring hierarchy. Data from the CCMS agents is already displayed by default in the following standard monitors of the monitoring architecture:

• Filesystems Monitor
• Operating System Monitor
• Logfile Monitoring Monitor
• CCMS Agents Selfmonitoring Monitor
  Note

  The following applies for the SAPCCM4X agent:

  There is little point in creating your own monitor to display the data collected by the agent. Installing this agent does not change the existing monitoring contexts. The agent is simply a way of collecting data that is better from a performance point of view and more reliable. If the agent is shut down, the relevant data is transferred using a dialog work process again.

  The subtrees in the Alert Monitor that are created by the CCMS agent do not disappear immediately if the agent is shut down. Instead, they are displayed as obsolete if no values are reported.

1. Choose CCMS → Control/Monitoring → Alert Monitor, or call transaction RZ20. Activate the maintenance functions.
2. Choose Monitor(set) → Create, and specify that you want to create a new monitor in an existing monitor set.
3. If you want to create a rule-based selection, place the cursor on the New Monitor line or on a virtual node. Choose Edit → Create Node. On the Create Node screen, choose Rule Node.
4. On the Edit Rule Nodes screen, choose the following rule using the F4 help:

   CCMS_GET_MONITORING_SEGMENT_NAMES

5. On the Edit Rule Nodes screen, specify the following selection parameters:
   • R3System = <CURRENT>
   • MoniSegment = SAP_CCMS_<Hostname>_local
6. Repeat this procedure as of point 3; but this time choose the following rule on the Edit Rule Nodes screen:

   CCMS_GET_MONITORING_CONTEXT_NAMES

   On the Edit Rule Nodes screen, specify the following selection parameters:

   • R3System = <CURRENT>
   • MoniSegment = SAP_CCMS_<Hostname>_local
   • MoniContext = <ALL>
7. Save your new monitor by choosing Save or Generate Monitor. The system prompts you to enter a name for your monitor. The monitor is then automatically saved. The new monitor is now part of your monitor set; you can use it in the same way as any other monitor.

1. Choose CCMS → Control/Monitoring → Alert Monitor, or call transaction RZ20. Activate the maintenance functions.
2. Choose Monitor(set) → Create, and specify that you want to create a new monitor in an existing monitor set.
3. If you want to create a rule-based selection, place the cursor on the New Monitor line or on a virtual node. Choose Edit → Create Node. On the Create Node screen, choose Rule Node.
4. On the Edit Rule Nodes screen, choose the following rule using the F4 help:

   CCMS_GET_MONITORING_SEGMENT_NAMES

5. On the Edit Rule Nodes screen, specify the following selection parameters:
   • R3System = <CURRENT>
   • MoniSegment = SAP_CCMS_<Hostname>
6. Repeat this procedure as of point 3; but this time choose the following rule on the Edit Rule Nodes screen:

   CCMS_GET_MONITORING_CONTEXT_NAMES

   On the Edit Rule Nodes screen, specify the following selection parameters:

   • R3System = <CURRENT>
   • MoniSegment = SAP_CCMS_<host name>
   • MoniContext = <ALL>
7. Save your new monitor by choosing Save or Generate Monitor. The system prompts you to enter a name for your monitor. The monitor is then automatically saved. The new monitor is now part of your monitor set; you can use it in the same way as any other monitor.
   Note

   You do not need to create your own monitors for any of the CCMS agents to display data in the operating system monitor, as this data appears immediately in transactions ST06 and OS07 and in the Operating System monitor of the Alert Monitor (transaction RZ20), without you having to make any additional settings.
