Work through the following table to make your design decisions and to provide the information that you require to implement your data supplier. Use the results to adjust one of the template reports available in the system (see Data Supplier for Users Logged On: Report RSDSUSER). Your data supplier will then be ready to use.
The table starts with organizational and structural decisions. These are adopted in the function modules for the creation of monitoring objects and attributes (function modules SALI_*_CREATE_ATTACH). For information about the object-specific and attribute-specific implementation decisions that you need to make, see Decision Table: Monitoring Attributes for the Attribute Types.
Design Consideration | Possibilities and Specifications |
---|---|
Monitoring Data (What type of information is to be reported?) |
Use the following monitoring attributes, depending on which data you want to display in the alert monitor:
The attribute determines the function module of the monitoring architecture that you need to use. |
Scope of your data supplier |
|
Start of the data supplier (how is your program started?) |
If the Alert Monitor is to start the data supplier:
|
Other specifications about the start behavior (you determine here how and where a data supplier runs) |
Behavior of the data collection method at the system start:
Execution location of the data collection method:
Start behavior of the data collection method when the Alert Monitor is started:
You need to set these options manually in the definition of a data collection method in the Alert Monitor (transaction RZ21); see Data Supplier for Users Logged On: Settings in RZ21. |
Messages (define the associated message IDs and numbers for the monitoring objects, attributes, and alerts) |
Define message IDs and numbers from table T100 for the following objects:
Messages in status and log attributes are T100 messages and therefore automatically have access to F1 help. |
Properties of the MTE classes and attribute groups |
Assign the nodes that you want to create using the data supplier to MTE classes and attribute groups:
|
Summary MTEs (enter any summary MTEs to structure your monitoring tree) |
Structure your alert monitoring tree:
