Monitoring 

Special functions are delivered for monitoring the applications in SAP NetWeaver Collaboration. In addition, the general monitoring and logging applications in the portal are available.

System Monitoring

SAP makes available a universally usable infrastructure for central monitoring of your entire system landscape.

Trace and Log Files

The data recorded in trace and log files can help you during problem analysis. Collaboration uses the logging mechanisms of the J2EE Engine.

Important Log and Trace Files

Content	File	Path
System information	defaultTrace.trc	.../usr/sap/<SAP_System ID>/JC<J2EE Engine Instance>/j2ee/cluster/server<n>/log/
Events (for example, writing data to repositories for rooms)	applications.log	.../usr/sap/<SAP_System ID>/JC<J2EE Engine Instance>/j2ee/cluster/server<n>/log/

For more information about log and trace files, see the technical operations manual for the SAP Web Application Server (Java).

Monitoring Functions for Collaboration

The following functions allow you to monitor the operation of technical components and the use of applications and objects:

Function	Description
Template validation	Checks the completeness and plausibility of the settings in room templates and room part templates. The system automatically performs template validation when users creating templates. In template administration, you can launch the validation functions for individual templates manually.
