SAP Netweaver Monitoring Components

 

Component	Description
Alert Monitor	Use the alert monitor (transaction RZ20) as the central tool for monitoring your entire system landscape. If malfunctions or problems occur, alerts are generated. These alerts are displayed in various monitors in a tree structure, and you can assign auto-reactions to them. In this way, you are informed quickly and reliably about the alert, even if you are not working in the alert monitor at the time. If you use the alert monitor as the entry point for your central monitoring, you will use the tools listed below in this table as analysis methods, that is, after an alert is generated, you can start the appropriate tool for the alert by double-clicking the alert.
SAP NetWeaver Administrator	The SAP NetWeaver Administrator (NWA) unifies the most important administration and monitoring tools both for Java and for ABAP systems in a new, browser-based user interface. The most important advantages of the NWA are: You no longer need to switch between different tools for administration, troubleshooting, and problem analysis of your entire SAP NetWeaver system landscape. There is a central administration tool available to you landscape-wide for both Java and ABAP systems for starting and stopping instances, checking configuration settings and logs, and monitoring error-free functioning of components. The interface follows the current guidelines for interface design, is easy-to-use, task-oriented, and complete. By using Web Dynpro, it runs in a browser.
SAP Solution Manager	Solution Monitoring in the SAP Solution Manager monitors heterogeneous system landscapes. You can monitor your systems and business processes in one tool. The system monitoring and business process monitoring are based on the data of the CCMS monitoring infrastructure.
Operating System Monitor	You can use the operating system monitor to monitor the following operating system resources: Virtual and physical memory CPU File system administration and physical disks Network Transaction ST06 displays the operating system data for the local server. Transaction OS07 displays the data for the entire system.
Workload Monitor	The Workload Monitor (transaction ST03) displays statistical data for the local ABAP system for performance analysis. You can also display, for example, the total values for all instances, and compare the performance of particular instances over a period of time. The large number of analysis views and collected data allow you to quickly determine the cause of possible performance problems.
Global Workload Monitor	The Global Workload Monitor (transaction ST03G) displays statistical records for entire landscapes, both for ABAP systems and for DSR components, such as J2EE Engine, BC, and ITS. You can, for example, display the load data created when external components are called.
ICM Monitor	You can use the ICM monitor (transaction SMICM) to monitor and administer the Internet Communication Manager, which receives and sends the requests from or to the Internet (in the server role, for example, the inbound HTTP requests).
Overview of SAP Application Servers Monitoring and Administration of the SAP Message Server Displaying and Controlling Work Processes Displaying and Managing User Sessions Trace Functions Monitoring RFC Resources on the Application Server Using SAP Gateway Monitor in SAP System System Log	The SAP system contains various tools for displaying detailed information on application servers, user sessions, and work processes. If you want to work with these tools, from the SAP initial menu choose  Administration System Administration or transaction S002. The initial screen for system administration appears. The tools are available under Administration and Monitor. There are also programs that you can use at operating system level to monitor the message server or the gateway. For information about other tools for monitoring system components, see these sections.
