Process Chains monitoring

Purpose

This monitor is dedicated to surveillance of SAP process chains BI. It will watch for execution error status, duration, delay and job occurrence. You can set general rule to watch any process chain and be notified as soon as any fails. You can also configure specific rule for a given job to monitor its real schedule or duration.

Configuration hints

Use the surveillance table to adjust the monitoring settings: - Use “Load process chains” button to discover jobs available in the system. - Select a line and click “Wizard” to open the monitoring configurator. - You can set specific threshold and severity for job status, duration, delay and schedule metrics. - You can also define the execution calendar of the job in order to stop its monitoring when it is not running Note: Job occurrence monitoring can only be configured via the wizard. You will have to define the expected schedule window, by defining its recurrence and duration.

Atomic fields

Exclusion ListThe exclusion list can be used when you activated to SAP jobs collection in the daily report monitor job. You can specify a list of jobs that you want to ignore, so they do not appear in the report. Note: This has no effect on the real time surveillance!

Surveillance table

ParameterDescription
ActiveUse this field to activate or deactivate a line of configuration.
Chaine nameA filter to define the process chain that you want to monitor. Use * for all.
Schedule infoDefines the schedule defined for the process chain. This field can only be modified via the wizard.
Max errorsThe threshold for the maximum number of aborted process chains within a period.
Error alarm severityDefines the severity of the alarm to send if a process chain is aborted.
AggregateIf checked, an alarm will be sent if the total number of aborted process chains is over the threshold. If not check, then one alarm will be sent per process chain having a number of abort status equal or greater than the threshold.
Max durationThe threshold for the maximum duration
Duration alarm severityThe severity for the duration alarm.
Max delayThe threshold for the maximum execution delay.
Delay alarm severityThe severity for the delay alarm.
Occurence alarm severityThe severity used for schedule alarm.
CalendarThe execution calendar of the Process chain. The check won't be performed on calendar's closed days.
Alarm tagThis 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.
AlarmIf checked, this line of surveillance will be used for alarm generation.
MetricIf checked, this line of surveillance will be used for metric generation.

Effect : Sends a CRITICAL alarm if process chain MY_CHAIN is aborted. Sends a WARNING alarm if it runs for more than 15 minutes. Sends a MAJOR alarm if the the process chain does not run and terminate every 15 minutes (one alarm per missed slot).
