SAP System - Monitoring Parameters

Here you will find detailed information about monitoring parameters for SAP System 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.

ABAP_DD_DB_Exclude

Configure exceptions for the ABAP_DD_DB check

Description

Indexes defined in this parameter are excluded from the "indexes missing" and "unknown indexes" part of the ABAP_DD_DB check. Please note that this parameter can only be used for indexes, but not for tables. Indexes listed must be separated by one or more spaces.

AutoChangeDetectionIgnore

Description

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 Systems, only DBPARAM is currently supported. Wildcard * is supported to define multiple parameters, e.g. DBPARAM: *MEMORY*, CPU_COUNT

BcsOutboundWaitTimeExceptions

Configure exceptions for BcsOutboundWaitNumCrit and BcsOutboundWaitNumWarn for waiting business communication records that match client and send method

Description

If you want to use different wait times thresholds for certain outbound waiting records, you may use this parameter which follows the syntax:

<list of clients> or * for all | <list of send methods> or * for all | warning threshold in minutes | critical threshold in minutes`

Multiple clients and send methods of an exception are separated by comma (,). Please use the short name of the send method. Multiple exceptions are separated by semicolon (;). Spaces may exist at any place of the parameter string, since they will be ignored.

There is also a special value 0 for the warning and critical thresholds. 0 means that the corresponding threshold will not be verified. So if you set both to 0, you can exclude records completely from being verified. They are, however, still displayed in the result table.

Example 1. Examples: Exceptions
101,102|FAX|60|120 ; *|INT|20|40

For clients 101 and 102 send method FAX the warning/critical thresholds are changed to 60/120 minutes. For all clients and send method INT the warning/critical thresholds are changed to 20/40 minutes

900|FAX|0|0

In client 900 all waiting records for sent method FAX are completely ignored and will not contribute to the check result.

If you, for instance; want to exclude all locks of user BGRFCSUPER on all tables starting with BGRFC, and additionally all locks on WSRM_EH* tables, no matter which user but only in client 000, your LockExclude specification would look like:

 *:BGRFCSUPER:BGRFC* 000:*:WSRM_EH*

NumRangesExclude

Define Number Ranges to exclude from NumberRanges checks

Description

You may exclude some Number Ranges from monitoring with this monitoring parameter. The syntax of an exclude specification is:<Object>:<Subobject>:<Number>. Please make sure to not use any spaces between the separation char : since spaces or semicolon ; are used to separate multiple entries. You can use wildcard * in an exclude specification.

To exclude all Number Ranges you can use *. This makes sense if you would want to use the individual thresholds only as defined in SAP transaction SNUM. See NumRangesUseObjectDef for further information.

The default warning and critical thresholds for Number Ranges can be set with NumRangesUsageWarn and NumRangesUsageCrit monitoring parameters. If you need different threshold values for your Number Ranges, then use NumRangesUsageEx to define individual thresholds. The syntax is as follows:

<Client>:<Object>:<Subobject>:<Number>:warn:crit

NumRangesUseObjectDef

Use the threshold of the object to monitor this number range and not the thresholds defined in NumRangesUsageWarn and NumRangesUsageCrit

Description

Each SAP Number Range may define a specific threshold. Those thresholds can have a different value. Avantra does not use those thresholds by default. Avantra uses the monitoring parameters NumRangesUsageWarn and NumRangesUsageCrit to define thresholds. If you want to use the threshold defined for the Number Range in your SAP System, use this monitoring parameter. Since the SAP System only provides one threshold, you need to specify if the check status is set to Critical or Warning when the threshold exceeds. The syntax is: <Object>:<CRITICAL|WARNING>. Multiple specifications are separated by a space or semicolon. You can use wildcard * in a specification.

Example 4. NumRangesUseObjectDef examples
Value Selection
AUFTRAG

For all number ranges AUFTRAG, the threshold defined on AUFTRAG number range is used. If the number range exhausts the threshold, the check reports WARNING.

XALVariantActive

Configure CCMS integration

Description

Defines whether the CCMS properties variant defined by XALVariantName will be activated automatically. If this parameter is set to 0, the Avantra properties variant is not activated automatically, so the settings may be written to an inactive variant and are not used by CCMS. If the parameter is set to 1, which is the default, XALVariantName is automatically activated and will stay active because any manual changes to the active variant using SAP transaction RZ21 will be overwritten periodically.

Description

Defines the name of the CCMS properties variant when settings are written to CCMS using Avantra. Use SAP transaction RZ21 to get an overview of properties variants. If you change XALVariantName you need to make sure that the variant already exists and the owner of the variant is set to SYSLINK. The default variant name SYSLINK is automatically created if it does not exist.

StartStopDependentWINService

Used in Automation for Windows operating systems

Description

This parameter is only applicable if your SAP database runs on a Windows operating system as a Windows service. Avantra Automation can start and stop those windows services, but Avantra does not know if dependent Windows services should be started or stopped as well. If you want to start and stop those dependent Windows services as well, then activate this with this parameter.

WaitingTimeStartMoniOn

Used in Automation for start system operations

Description

After Avantra starts a system (e.g SAP System, database, or server), Avantra sets the monitoring switch to on. Avantra already has some built-in logic to detect whether the system is up and running, but sometimes a system responds that it is running, but in fact it is not yet ready for production ussage. The time until the system is ready highly depends on the system internals and is unknown to Avantra. With this parameter, you can define how long Avantra should wait after starting the system until the monitoring switch is turned on.

WaitingTimeMoniOffStop
