Detailed documentation for SM21 ABAP system log

[former_member263733]

We are fine tuning our Solution Manager Technical Monitoring for the ABAP system log.

There are delivered metrics for different types of alerts that correspond to the System Log Message Group (GRP) and Sub-Name (N) fields in the output of the ABAP system log.   The documentation for these "codes" comes from here

Log File Monitoring Data Provider - SAP Solution Manager - SAP Library

Area Code     Subname     Message Short Text

BV                          4         Work process is in status Reconnect

BY                         2          Database error

BY                         4          Database error, access to table

BY                          M         SQL error

ED                          4          Name of SAP system not found

FB                          N          Spooler full

AB                         1          Short dump created   

However, in the technical monitoring there is also a message type B19 which does not map to this table shown above.   Furthermore, I see many entries in SM21 output that don't map the this small table of messages:

Q0                           I

R4                           9

(and there are many others)

I have been looking for a comprehensive reference that goes beyond that simple table in order to (perhaps) configure alerts on those values if they show up in the log.

We have been searching for some time but haven't found anything that goes into detail about those codes found in the GRP, and N field headings in the SM21 output.

If anyone can provide any insight that would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Hello,

To get more info from Syslog messages:

Q0  I Operating system call recv failed

R4  9 Communication error,

You can check dev_disp and dev_rd file (refer to time stamp)

In many cases it can be reported because of connection was broken or time out situation in network

Hi

You can find all the possible values in the table TSL1D - System Log Message (Formerly 100S or TSL01)
