SAP CCMS Monitors for Optional Components Monitor Set
In the Alert Monitor, you can find a number of monitor sets delivered by SAP. These contain the most important monitors that allow you to easily monitor your IT landscape. The SAP CCMS Monitors for Optional Components monitor set contains monitors for special topics. You can either use the monitors from this set directly or as templates for your own monitors (see also Copying, Renaming, and Deleting Monitors).
The SAP CCMS Monitors for Optional Components monitor set contains the following monitors.

You can view monitoring data for the OLTP database that is the basis for the local SAP NetWeaver system in the Database Monitor. This monitor displays only monitoring data for all other databases.

You can activate and deactivate monitoring of these databases in transaction DB59 (see MaxDB/liveCache System Overview). |

You can use this monitor to monitor the functions and status of TREX. For more information, see Monitoring TREX with the SAP Solution Manager. |

The SAP Virus Scan Server is an executable program that allows the inclusion of virus scanners from certified vendors using an interface and provides scan services to the application servers of the system as a registered RFC server. You can use this monitor to monitor this program (see Application Server or Self-Starter). |
