SAP BusinessObjects - Built-in Checks

Here you will find detailed information about Built-in checks for SAP BusinessObjects monitored objects.

Built-in checks are deployed automatically for a monitored object type. Once Avantra has detected a specific monitored object, each of the relevant built-in checks will be auto-deployed to the agent to begin check execution and status reporting. Built-in checks can be configured using Monitoring Parameters (e.g. to set threshold values) and can also be disabled if they are not relevant to your landscape.

BO_CMSConnect

Verify login to CMS service of SAP BusinessObjects installation.

Description

This {Check} verifies if a successful login can be performed to the SAP BusinessObjects _CMS service using the configured CMS user and password.

BO_JobStat

Monitor SAP BusinessObjects jobs that have run during the last hour.

Description

This Check verifies the status of all jobs that have run during the last 60 minutes (see BoJobStatTimeSpan) on the SAP BusinessObjects installation.

BO_Jobs

Check the status of SAP BusinessObjects jobs that have run during the last day(s).

Description

This daily Check verifies the status of all jobs that have run during the last days (see BoJobsSelectRange) on the SAP BusinessObjects installation.

BO_Logs

Verify log files of an SAP BusinessObjects installation.

Description

This Check verifies all log files of an SAP BusinessObjects installation. It parses the log entries that have been added during the last 60 minutes (configurable by BoLogsTimeSpan).

Each of the SAP BusinessObjects's various log files is examined and results in a dedicated check sub result section with its own status, which then contributes to the overall status of the check.

To narrow down the log file selection, the parameter BoLogGroups may be used.

The criteria for WARNING and CRITICAL states of a log entry may be adapted by the monitoring parameters BoLogExprWarn and BoLogExprCrit.

BO_Processes

Verify processes of an SAP BusinessObjects installation.

Description

This {Check} verifies the processes of an SAP BusinessObjects installation. Special attention is paid to the _Server Intelligence Agent (sia) process. If any problem is detected with that process, the check will become CRITICAL, which in turn will affect the status of BO_Alive.

If any problems with other processes are detected, the check will become WARNING.

BO_Servers

Verify servers of an SAP BusinessObjects installation.

Description

This Check verifies the status of the servers of an SAP BusinessObjects installation. The list of servers to be examined can be narrowed down either by a allow list BoServersInclude or deny list parameter BoServersExclude.

FULLCHECK

Description

The SAP BusinessObjects usually does not have a FULLCHECK (i.e., Daily Check). The only exception is when a CUSTOM_CHECK is defined for this server. In such a case, the status and description of the check(s) are provided.
