This view lists the SAP EarlyWatch Alert sessions carried out for a solution in a specific period of time.

SAP EarlyWatch Alert is an automatic diagnostic service that SAP Solution Manager uses to monitor SAP. It sends data regularly from the monitored system to SAP Solution Manager, which analyzes and evaluates it, to identify possible problems early, avoid bottlenecks and monitor system performance.

In this view, you can filter sessions according to criteria, or access them individually. You can create a report in Word format, or display it as an HTML report. You can also see the current ratings (red – very critical error, yellow – critical error/warning, green – no errors) of existing SAP EarlyWatch Alert sessions. You can change session data.
