Selfmonitoring CCMS Agents MonitorLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

Use this monitor to obtain an overview of the SAP NetWeaver management agents and the

CCMS Agents in your IT landscape. The following information about the agents appears:

  • The host on which the agent was installed

  • The application server that the agent is checking (for instance agents)

  • How long the agent has been active or inactive, and when it was last checked

  • The availability of the agent

Features

The following agents that are registered with the local system have at least one subtree of their own in this monitor:

  • SAP NetWeaver Management Agents

  • CCMS agents

  • CCMSPING (but only if the agent was registered with the option push)

The name of the subtree is the same as the name for the logical Web service port responsible for the agent (in the case of CCMS agents, the RFC destination of the agent) and has the following structure:

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

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