====== PI/XI messages JAVA ====== This monitor is dedicated to the monitoring of PI/XI messages status of Java stack instances. It will detect messages with an error status and report with alarms and metrics ===== Prerequisites ===== * In case of the user management engine (UME) referred to a data source served by an ABAP client stack, the user account to access PI/XI information in the web portal must meet the following prerequisites: * The web client connection user must be created in the client of the UME associated ABAP system (normally it is the “production” client, ask to the users administrator). * Following roles must be granted to the user (exclusively, DO NOT USE A COPY) * SAP_XI_DISPLAY_USER_J2EE * SAP_XI_RWB_SERV_USER ===== Configuration hints ===== * This monitor must be used with a Web portal connector to the target SAP system, with user credentials having access to the PI/XI messages view * You must specify the XI components that you want to monitor, you cannot use regular expressions for this filter. * To discover the available XI components from your system, you can call the following servlet with your web browser: * http://[host]:[port]/mdt/messageoverviewqueryservlet * It will return the available components in the XIComponents tag. * You can filter in or out certain types of messages by using Sender, Receiver and Interface fields. * You can adjust the level of alarm severity depending on the type of status or on message characteristic. * A disabled severity will filter out the messages matching the filters, for all subsequent lines. * With this monitor, you will have the possibility to be notified when a given number of messages from an XI component are in a given state, within a period of time. ===== Atomic fields ===== ^Alarm severity for component collection error|Level of the alarm when the probe can't collect information about a component defined in the surveiliance table | ===== Surveillance table ===== ^Parameter^Description^ ^Active|Use this field to activate or deactivate a line of configuration. | ^Status|Define the type message status to look for. | ^Period|Defines the period of time in which the probe will look for messages. | ^Component|Defines the xi component associated with the messages. The exact component name must be specified here.| ^Sender|A filter for the sender of the messages. | ^Receiver|A filter for the receiver of the messages. | ^Interface|A filter for the message interface.| ^Max. messages|The threshold of the alarm generated if an equal or greater number of messages pass the alarm filter. | ^Aggregates|If not set, threshold will be compared to the number of messages grouped by Sender, Receiver and Interface. If set, the threshold will be compared to the cumulated number of messages.| ^Severity|The default severity to apply when the simple threshold syntax is used.| ^Auto clear|If checked, the alarm will be cleared as soon as the alarm condition is not met anymore. | ^Alarm tag|This field allows to add custom text within the alarm message. %MSG% variable will contain the actual generated message and can be used such as: "my_prefix %MSG% my_suffix". By default, tag will be used as prefix. | ^Alarm|If checked, this line of surveillance will be used for alarm generation. | ^Metric|If checked, this line of surveillance will be used for metric generation. | ^Report|If checked, this line of surveillance will used for showing threshold and severity in the daily report| ===== Examples ===== ^Active^Status^Period^Component^Sender^Receiver^Interface^Max. messages^Aggregates^Severity^Auto clear^Alarm tag^Alarm^Metric^Report^ |true|HOLDING|CURRENT_HOUR|mssql.xi.id2|*|*|*|5|true|WARNING|true| |true|false|false| **Effect** : Sends a WARNING alarm if 5 or more messages are in HOLDING state in the current hour for the component mssql.xi.id2. ===== Examples ===== ^Active^Status^Period^Component^Sender^Receiver^Interface^Max. messages^Aggregates^Severity^Auto clear^Alarm tag^Alarm^Metric^Report^ |true|SYSTEM ERROR|LAST_DAY|mssql.xi.id2|SenderX|*|*|50|true|MAJOR|true| |true|false|false| **Effect** : Sends a MAJOR alarm if 50 or more messages are in SYSTEM ERROR state in the previous day, sent by SenderX. ===== Generated metrics ===== ^metricId^metricUnit^metricTarget^metricDescription^ |PIXI_JAVA_MESSAGE_STATUS|Message errors|[STATUS][PERIOD][SENDER][RECEIVER][INTERFACE]|Sends TRUE if the corresponding rule generated an alarm, FALSE instead| |PIXI_JAVA_MESSAGE_STATUS_COUNT|Status|[STATUS][PERIOD][SENDER][RECEIVER][INTERFACE]|Sends the number of messages matching the filter|
