This monitor is dedicated to surveillance of SAP background jobs. It will watch for job error status,
duration, delay and job occurrence. You can set general rules to watch any job and be notified as 
soon as any fails. You can also configure specific rules for a given job to monitor its execution plan.
A dedicated table is available to help managing notifications for specific job failures.

• Monitor jobs with ABORTED state
• Receive an alarm if a given job is ABORTED
  • Example: Job XYZ has been ABORTED on 2023/04/23 05:23
  • In the above example, the aggregate mode is OFF
• Receive an alarm if a number of jobs greater than a threshold are ABORTED
  • Example: 15 jobs matching Z_ABC* name have been aborted (>=10) in the last 60 minutes
  • In the above example, the aggregate mode is ON
• You can filter jobs from a particular name, client and user
• Use the Max duration or Max start delay threshold to activate duration and delay monitoring (must be > 0)
• The severity of the alert can be customized with Abort. sev field
• The aggregate option can be used to define the granularity of the monitoring:
  • OFF: One alarm per job
  • ON: One alarm for all jobs within the collected period

• Receive an alarm if a given job's duration or delay is too long
  • Example: Job XYZ is running since 46 minutes (>=30 min)
  • In the above example, the aggregate mode is OFF
• Receive aggregated alarm reporting how many jobs are running or delayed for too long
  • Example: 15 jobs matching Z_ABC* are delayed since 40 min (>=10)
  • In the above example, the aggregate mode is OFF
• You can filter jobs from a particular name, client and user
• Use the Max aborts threshold to activate job status monitoring (must be > 0)
• The severity of the alert can be customized with Duration/Delay severity fields
• The aggregate option can be used to define the granularity of the monitoring:
  • OFF: One alarm per job
  • ON: One alarm for all jobs within the collected period

• The purpose of this check is to be notified when a job expected run on a particular schedule is missing.
• You can configure a given period and make sure the job runs at least once in that period (Ex: once per 60 min)
• You can also configure a given schedule (with a CRON) and schedule period to make sure a job runs by an exact schedule (Ex: within 10:00 and 10:15)
• To configure a particular period, use the wizard which offers multiple possibilities:
  • Since last check
  • Since last X minutes
  • Every X minutes/hours/…, starting from time X
  • At schedule time: Use a Cron schedule and period (Schedule period length)
    • Examples:
      • “0 0/15 * * * ? *” for 5 min → Checks if the job runs at least once every 15 minutes
        • In this example, the job must run within a 5 minutes period after the cron period start:
        • Between 12h30 and 12h35, then between 12h45 and 12h50, etc…
      • “0 0 23 * * ? *” for 60 min → Checks if the job runs once a day between 11pm and 12pm
• As for other checks, you can filter on job name, user and client.
• The severity of the alert can be customized with occurence severity field

• Sometimes the wrong calendar can be assigned to a given job within a SAP system.
• This check can detect when the assigned calendar is not the expected one.
• Set the calendar ID in the calendar field, an alarm will be sent automatically.

• The monitor has the capability to discover SAP jobs from your system and let you select the ones to watch.
• Just click on the Load jobs button to display the list of discovered jobs

• The table of rules contains lot's of paramaters which can be difficult to understand at the first place.
• Use the wizard to open a configuration screen which will help you to configure exactly what you need.
• Once parameters are set in the wizard, they will be transfered into the configuration table, where you can modify them if needed
• Some configuration can only be achieved via the wizard:
  • SAP job occurence following a custom period or schedule

• By default, this monitor will look for jobs started since the last check
• However, you can configure an arbitrary period, such as since last 15 min or 60 min which will be used even if the monitor runs every 5 minutes
• This can be configured via the wizard

• This monitor allows to define multiple rules for different use cases
• Those use cases are often implemented by setting filters on job name, client and user.
• The filtering syntax is a bit special for this monitor, because job name is not filtered the same way than user and client
• User & client: Use default filtering syntax
• Job name: Use * to replace any trailing character of the job name
  • Z_ABC* → matches jobs starting with Z_ABC
  • Cannot be used for this: *_PROCESSING → will generate an error
  • If you want to use advanced filtering for job name, you need to activate Advanced match option

• The exclusive check box defines weither a rule is exclusive or not: When it is active, any data matching the filter will not be processed by the next rules
• This can be useful to create specific rules for results which shall not be processed by general monitoring rules

• This table helps to simplify the management of notifications for SAP job alarms
• You can define a job and client to associate with email recipients
• If a mail plugin is configured to receive SAP job alarms, the recipients will automatically receive the alarm per email when the corresponding jobs trigger an alarm
• I becomes easy to handle different recipients for some specific jobs

Effect : A CRITICAL alarm will be sent for each aborted job occurred in the last 15 minutes

Effect : Sends a CRITICAL alarm if job MY_JOB is aborted. Sends a WARNING alarm if the job runs for more than 15 minutes. Sends a MAJOR alarm if the job is not scheduled every hour (one alarm per missed slot).
