SAP Instance - Monitoring Parameters

Here you will find detailed information about monitoring parameters for SAP Instance monitored objects.

Monitoring parameters are the mechanism for you to configure how your systems are monitored. They are how you set configuration of how the agent runs, how checks are executed, thresholds for checks (when does a check go critical or warning) and much more. All Monitoring Parameters have a carefully chosen default value. As soon as you add a new system, Avantra uses these defaults. You may change these defaults by defining a parameter and by modifying its values. Monitoring Parameters can be defined for a single system, or for collections of systems using Monitoring Parameter Sets. You can also define your own Custom Monitoring Parameters for use within Custom Checks and automations.

AutoChangeDetectionIgnore

AutoChangeDetectionIgnore is used to exclude parameters from System Change Auto Detection. If, for example, a parameter value changes regularly and this behavior is well known, you may add the parameter to the exclude list.

The parameter value is still updated in the Avantra Database, but no change record will be created. Since there are several change detection objects, you must prefix the list with a keyword to indicate the object type.

For SAP Instances, INSTPROFPARAM, J2EESYSPROP, and J2EEVMPARAM are currently supported. Wildcard * is supported to define multiple parameters.

Example: Ignored Changes J2EEVMPARAM: java.proc.id, java.mem*; J2EESYSPROP: *

By default, the check J2EEConnectHttpPageKeywords looks for the instance host name on the page. For customized pages, which do not contain the instance host name, this turns the check to Critical.

If you specify a *, the page verification is omitted, and a successful login to any page is accepted.

Reference Data

Configures Checks	J2EEConnectHttp
Default Value
Unit	String

J2EEConnectUrlQuery

This monitoring parameter is used to define the query string that is appended to the URLs that J2EEConnectHttp uses. The query string is appended before the suffixes that are added by J2EEConnectUrlSuffix.

The default value saml2=disabled disables SAML2 for the logon.

Reference Data

Configures Checks	None
Default Value	saml2=disabled
Unit	String

J2EEConnectUrlSuffix

Defines the URL to be used by the J2EEConnectHttp Check.

The following syntax is supported:

• Suffix only, e.g. /sap/monitoring/SystemInfo. The Suffix is appended to the default URL (http://localhost:5<sysno>00) by the Avantra-agent internally.
  For SAP systems 7.10 and newer, the default path is /nwa/sysinfo.
  For SAP systems 7.0x and older, the default path is /sap/monitoring/SystemInfo.

• Suffix with leading port, e.g. :8080/sap/monitoring/SystemInfo. (The leading colon is mandatory!). You will have to use this syntax if the HTTP port has been changed from its default value 5<system_number>00.

• Whole URL starting with http://. You can freely define which URL to be checked. This mode may be used for special purposes.

• Whole URL starting with https://. You can use this option if you want to access an HTTPS service. You also have to use this option if the default SystemInfo page is accessed via HTTPS.

In the HTTP/HTTPS options, placeholders for hosts and ports can be used. Specify <host> to let the Avantra Agent use the default host (usually 'localhost') and/or <port> to let it use the default port of the specified protocol (5<sysno>00 for http and 5<sysno>01 for HTTPS).

Example: J2EEConnectUrlSuffix

https://<host>:<port>/sap/monitoring/SystemInfo
http://192.168.123.456:<port>/myhtmlpage

You can also use client authentication in conjunction with HTTPS. See the description of J2EEKeystoreName for further information.

Reference Data

Configures Checks	J2EEConnectHttp
Default Value	sap/monitoring/SystemInfo
Unit	String

J2EEKeyPw

This password is used to retrieve the keys from the keystore specified in the J2EEKeystoreName monitoring parameter.

Do not define this parameter unless the keystore keys are password protected.

Reference Data

Configures Checks	J2EEConnectHttp
Default Value
Unit	String

J2EEKeystoreName

If you use the J2EECONNECT check with HTTPS, you might also want to use certificates to authenticate the server and client. Whereas server certificates are handled without further configuration (the Avantra-agent trusts all incoming certificates by default), client certificates must be configured and installed manually.

In order to enable client authentication in the J2EECONNECT check, a java keystore file containing the accurate certificate must have been generated, stored in a location readable by the Avantra-agent, and defined in this parameter. (If you do not define this parameter, no client authentication will be performed.)

The path of the keystore file can be specified as follows:

• Fully qualified path, e.g.. /usr/keys/keystore.ks
• Relative path. A relative path is applied to the Agent's cfg directory, e.g. keystore.ks (will resolve to <syslinkinstall_dir>/lyceus/cfg/keystore.ks.)

Reference Data

Configures Checks	J2EEConnectHttp
Default Value
Unit	String

J2EEKeystorePw

Password for an optional integrity check of the keystore. If you specify this parameter, the used keystore is checked for integrity, otherwise, the keystore is loaded without an integrity check. For this to work, the keystore must have been stored using the same integrity password before.

Reference Data

Configures Checks	J2EEConnectHttp
Default Value
Unit	String

J2EEKeystoreType

Indicates the type of the keystore specified in J2EEKeystoreName. The keystore type must exactly correspond to the type of the used java keystore. If a keystore is specified but not a keystore type, pkcs12 is used as the default keystore type.

Reference Data

Configures Checks	J2EEConnectHttp
Default Value
Unit	String

J2EEP4Port

The Avantra-agent connects the Java instance at the P4 port, as SAP Visual Administrator does. If this TCP/IP port has been changed from its default value, you need to adapt J2EEP4Port to the correct value.

Reference Data

Configures Checks	None
Default Value	5<sysnr>04
Unit	String

J2EEP4TransportType

The Avantra-agent connects the Java instance at the P4 port defined by J2EEP4Port. The J2EEP4TransportType monitoring parameter defines the transport layer (or protocol) used for this connection. By default, the value is None and the P4 protocol is used.

You can choose SSL in order to use the P4S protocol scheme in case of which the Avantra-agent uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) for the connection.

You can choose HTTPS to use the P4HTTPS protocol scheme. The Avantra-agent then tunnels the connection through HTTPS.

Reference Data

Configures Checks	None
Default Value	None
Unit	Enum

J2EESystemThreadsPoolUsageCrit

If the number of used system threads exceeds J2EESystemThreadsPoolUsageCrit percent of the maximum thread pool size, the check status is set to Critical.

JavaASAvgRespTimeCrit

If the JARM average response time exceeds this value, the check status is set to Critical.

Reference Data

Configures Checks	JavaASAvgRespTime
Default Value	3000
Unit	Milliseconds

JavaASAvgRespTimeReset

Defines if or if not the JavaASAvgRespTime check resets the JARM statistic records. By default, it does. There is no need to change this value unless you use other tools that also try to reset the JARM statistic records.

Reference Data

Configures Checks	JavaASAvgRespTime
Default Value	1
Unit	Boolean

JavaASAvgRespTimeWarn

If JARM average response time exceeds this value but does not exceed JavaASAvgRespTimeCrit, the check status is set to Warning.

Reference Data

Configures Checks	JavaASAvgRespTime
Default Value	1500
Unit	Milliseconds

JavaASRespTimeAvgCycles

Reference Data

Configures Checks	JavaASAvgRespTime
Default Value	2
Unit	Number

JavaHttpPort

The Avantra Agent tries to determine the HTTP port of a Java SAP Instance automatically from the instance profile entries ICM/SERVER_PORT_nn with protocol HTTP (for pre 7.10 instances ICM/HTTP/J2EE_nn); by default 5<sysno>00 is used.

If an HTTPS port is detected in the profile as well, the HTTPS port will be preferred to the HTTP port, and the connection will be established using SSL and the HTTPS port. To overrule this behavior, you may set JavaHttpPort, which in turn overrides HTTPS and forces the usage of HTTP on the specified port.

If detection fails and the default port is wrong, JavaHttpPort may be used to force-set the HTTP port.

Reference Data

Configures Checks	J2EEConnectHttp
Default Value
Unit	String

JavaHttpsPort

The Avantra Agent tries to determine the HTTPS port of a Java SAP Instance automatically from the instance profile entries ICM/SERVER_PORT_nn with protocol HTTPS (for pre 7.10 instances ICM/HTTPS/J2EE_nn);. If no HTTPS port is detected, HTTPS won't be used by default.

If both HTTP and HTTPS ports are detected in the profile, the HTTPS port will be preferred over the HTTP port, and the connection will be established using SSL and the HTTPS port. See the description of JavaHttpPort for further details.

If detection fails for an HTTPS port, JavaHttpsPort may be used to force-set the HTTPS port, overruling any JavaHttpPort setting.

Reference Data

Configures Checks	J2EEConnectHttp

SAPControlProtocol

This parameter allows you to configure the protocol to access the SAPControl Web Service Interface of an SAP instance.

If you specify OFF, SAPControl won't be used for the instance.

If you specify Adaptive, the SAPControl connector will use Windows Named Pipes / Unix Domain Sockets to connect to the SAPControl Web Service, unless the optional SAPControl User is defined for the SAP System, see Adding a SAP System. If the SAPControl User is defined, HTTP/HTTPS will be used automatically.

If you specify NamedPipes, the SAPControl connector will use Windows Named Pipes / Unix Domain Sockets to connect to the SAPControl Web Service of the underlying instance, regardless of its type. Make sure the Agent OS user has sufficient permissions to access the Named Pipe / Domain Socket.

If you specify HTTP, the SAPControl connector will use HTTP to connect to the SAPControl Web Service of the underlying instance, regardless of its type. The HTTP port defaults to 5<sysno>13, unless the services file (i.e. /etc/services on Unix, C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\services on Windows) contains an entry sapctrl<sysno> (HTTP) defining a different port. When you specify this option, you have to define a SAPControl User in the corresponding SAP System properties; see Defining the SAPControl User.

If you specify HTTPS, the SAPControl connector will use HTTPS to connect to the SAPControl Web Service of the underlying instance, regardless of its type. The HTTPS port defaults to 5<sysno>14, unless the services file (i.e. /etc/services on Unix, C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\services on Windows) contains an entry sapctrls<sysno> (HTTPS) defining a different port.

TREXAlertStatusMapping

This parameter allows you to reconfigure the mapping of the check states of a TREX Alert Server to the check states of Avantra. You must specify a comma-separated list of numbers, which get assigned in order of their appearance to the Avantra states 2 (CRITICAL), 1 (WARNING), 0 (OK), -1 (UNKNOWN), -2 (DISABLED). Not all states must be specified, so it's sufficient to assign the first 3 values to get a proper mapping.

Optionally, you can specify mappings for the check name in addition to the default mapping, or you can simply change the mapping for individual checks. Consider the following examples:

2,1,0 : All TREX checks use mapping 2,1,0
