Object documentationApplication Operations Dashboard – Availability Overview

 

The dashboards for the Operations category in the Dashboard Builder provide a quick overview of the availability and performance of your managed systems.

One such dashboard is the availability overview, which displays the availability of managed systems during selected intervals; you can thereby adjust both the reference period for the availability values and the systems whose availability is to be displayed according to your requirements. The Integration section below tells you how to perform the configuration.

The data for this dashboard comes from System Monitoring reporting (see Technical Information about System & Application Monitoring Reporting ). The availability can have the following values in the dashboard:

  • Available

  • Not available during a planned downtime (the periods for planned downtimes are taken from Managing Work Modes)

  • Not available (unplanned)

  • No availability information available. Availability undefined

The most important availability values for ABAP and Java systems are displayed in various tiles. For the detail view, the Smart View is used, with which you can analyze the data displayed in the associated tile in more detail, for example, perform a drilldown or set additional filters.

The following tiles exist in the dashboard:

  • The Availability Overview uses the system availabilities to calculate a mean value and, based on this availability value, outputs a pie chart, which provides an impression of the average availability of your managed systems at a glance.

  • The ABAP System Availability displays the availability of the selected ABAP systems in a stacked bar chart.

    An ABAP - Unplanned Non-Availability tile is also output for the ABAP system availability. This tile displays the unplanned non-availability for the ten systems with the longest unplanned non-availability for the displayed period.

  • The JAVA System Availability displays the availability of the selected Java systems in a stacked bar chart.

    Like for the ABAP System Availability, a JAVA - Unplanned Non-Availability tile is also output.

  • The HTTP Availability of the ABAP Message Server uses a stacked bar chart to display how often the message server of an ABAP system was able to be reached via HTTP.

  • The RFC Availability of the ABAP System uses a stacked bar chart to display how often an RFC connection was able to be established to the monitored ABAP system.

  • The HTTP Availability of the JAVA System uses a stacked bar chart to display how often the corresponding system was able to be reached via HTTP.

The dashboard is displayed in the Application Operations Dashboards in the Dashboard Builder.

Integration

The tiles delivered are to be regarded primarily as a template; use the tiles by selecting the systems and periods to be displayed. This takes place for the entire dashboard via a global filter (see Defining Global Filters). Proceed as follows:

  1. In the top right-hand side of the screen, choose the Global Filter pushbutton; the fields System ID and Calendar Day are displayed.

  2. To set a global filter for these fields, choose the desired field and enter the desired filter values in the Filter Dimension screen. Then choose Copy.

  3. The filter values are copied to the global filter and displayed there. All of the dashboard's tiles are updated accordingly.
