Technical Topology of the Monitoring
Architecture
Purpose
You can use the monitoring architecture to monitor a large number of servers in different systems and to display the results in preconfigured or individually-created monitors. Use the technical topology display to obtain an overview at any time of the connections to SAP systems, segments, contexts, or CCMS agents that are known to the monitoring architecture.
The technical
topology display is an analysis tool for experts and is not intended as an
every-day instrument for use with CCMS monitoring that is functioning
correctly. Use the display if connection problems occur with remote SAP
systems or
CCMS agents.. You
can also use the topology display to obtain an overview of your system
landscape from the point of view of the central monitoring system.
You can quickly isolate connection problems and test connections using the hierarchy of systems, segments, and contexts. You can also obtain a quick overview of which monitoring segments, application servers, or CCMS agents are currently online.
Integration
The technical topology replaces the previous functions Segment Overview and Context Overview, which have fewer features, a simple list display, and do not allow you to switch between segments and contexts. The old functions also do not allow you to display segments or contexts from remote, monitored SAP systems.
Features
The topology display shows the following data in four tab pages:
● Display of Monitored Systems
The system displays all systems known to the monitoring architecture with their most important properties. If you double-click one of the displayed systems, the topology display shows three tab pages: the Segments, Contexts, and CCMS Agents of the selected system, rather than those for the local system.
A monitoring segment is the memory area in shared memory of an instance that the monitoring architecture uses for all active contexts and collected monitoring attributes. A monitoring segment therefore includes all active components and data.
A monitoring context is the uppermost node of a monitoring tree and contains all associated monitoring objects and monitoring attributes. A context is unique both in a segment and at system level. A segment can contain various contexts.
● Display of the CCMS Agents for all monitored SAP systems
CCMS agents are independent processes with an interface through RFC to a central monitoring system and an interface to the monitoring segment of the shared memory. They provide a connection method, in addition to a defined ABAP interface, between the monitored and monitoring systems. Their advantages lie in their universal usability, since agents allow the inclusion of both SAP components without ABAP interfaces and non-SAP components.
On this tab page, you can also obtain information about all CCMSPING Availability Agents that are registered with the local system.
