Active and Inactive Monitors

Use

You use the SAP NetWeaver Administrator to modify the state of the monitors. The concept of active and inactive monitors allows you to activate only the monitors that you need and to deactivate the others, thus improving the overall performance of the system.

Features

By default, all monitors ,except the predefined set of active monitors, are deactivated. Inactive monitors have no history and do not pool data from the monitored resources automatically. These monitors can retrieve information only on demand. You can activate any deactivated monitor, but you cannot deactivate monitors that participate in the Java System Reports.

The deactivating of unused monitors minimizes the impact of the Monitoring Service on the CPU and memory consumption, and reduces the monitoring history by not storing the history for monitors that are rarely used.

You can also activate or deactivate more than one monitor from the Monitoring Tree at a time. The activation operations can be applied to both individual tree nodes and entire sub-trees.
