Best Approach for Performance/Event Monitoring

[Former Member]

I'm completely new to SAP and would appreciate the input of some more experienced folks.

I have been given two tasks for SAP: performance monitoring of the SAP application/associated modules (e.g. SAP Memory utilization, number of processes, etc.) and alarm event monitoring (anything that would be characterized as a error and logged).

For the performance monitoring I would like a access the metrics once every 5 minutes to keep a running history. Several things I've started to look at are the Alert Manager and perhaps a Perl API interface.

For alarm events, I assume there is some SAP module that can monitor for these and generate SNMP traps or perhaps a custom application that does log mining. As part of this I am trying to determine where error events are written to in SAP (e.g. a log file??).

If anyone has insight or can point me in the right direction, I would be very appreciative. Thanks in advance.

Dear Ed,

If Wily Introscope is configured for your Portal, which shoold be the case because SAP delivers it as with SAP Solution Manager, all metrics which oyu mention would be available.

If you are running a testing instance which is not integrated with Solution Manager, you could try the Web Administrator

http://<host>:<port>/nwa ->  Availability and Performance -> Resource Monitoring
