Update service

Purpose

This monitor is dedicated to the monitoring of one of the key service of the NetWeaver instance: the updates service. Sends an alarm as soon as the service is not running.

Configuration hints

Simply select the level of severity of the generated alarm and if you want to generate metrics. Note: Since later versions of SAP, the function used by the collector is not “remote enabled” anymore. If it is the case, you have to change SAP to activate this setting.
