Identify the Central Monitoring System for the NW Administrator 

Use

You can use the SAP NetWeaver Administrator to display all monitoring data from the monitoring infrastructure. There are two plug-ins available that can display monitoring data from the central monitoring system (this system will be abbreviated here to CEN).

Plug-In	Description
Availability	You can use this plug-in to display the availability of ABAP and Java systems and their instances.
Central Reports	You can use this plug-in to display the monitors of all monitor sets of CEN (see Predefined Monitors of the Alert Monitor).

To be able to display this data in the NW Administrator, you need to enter the connection data for CEN in the Visual Administrator of the relevant system.

For detailed information about configuring the SAP NetWeaver Administrator, see the SAP NetWeaver 7.0 – Operations area on the SAP Service Marketplace (http://service.sap.com/OperationsNW2004s). This information is available there in the document Monitoring Setup Guide – SAP NetWeaver 7.0.

Prerequisites

To display the monitoring data, CEN and all systems that are monitored by CEN must be contained in the System Landscape Directory that you use for the NW Administrator (see Configuring the SAP NetWeaver Administrator to Work with the SLD).
