Monitoring Log Files

Use

You can monitor trace and log files using a template. If an error occurs in a log file an alert is displayed in the CCMS system.

 

Procedure for the Configuration

       1.      Edit every *logmon.ini file in the directory <TREX_DIR >/exe/CCMS. These configuration files apply respectively for specific TREX instances:

○     <SAPSID>_<trex_instance_number>_Daemon_logmon.ini

○     <SAPSID>_<trex_instance_number>_IndexServer_logmon.ini

○     <SAPSID>_<trex_instance_number>_NameServer_logmon.ini

○     <SAPSID>_<trex_instance_number>_Preprocessor_logmon.ini

○     <SAPSID>_<trex_instance_number>_QueueServer_logmon.ini

○     <SAPSID>_<trex_instance_number>_WebServer_logmon.ini

    2.      Change the parameter for the area DIRECTORY= to the directory <TREX_DIR>/<trex_hostname>/trace in every *logmon.ini file.

       3.      Copy the configuration files from <TREX_DIR>/exe/CCMS to the following directory:

○     Windows: \\<host>\usr\sap\prfclog\logmon\

○     UNIX:  /usr/sap/prfclog/logmon/

 

Result

You can now start the monitoring of the log files and alerting in the CCMS monitor.
